Negative Positive
Title: pure garbage
Review: I haven't read a clancy novel since Patriot Games, now i know why. How many times can we hear the same one dimensional characters mouth or think the same monotonous drivel? This book is plotted at the level of a nintendo game, first mission; handle the hijacking on the plane, second mission; handle the terrorists at the bank; third mission etc... Clancy fails utterly to invoke any depth into his characters. The bad guys (which are referred to as "bad guys" about 500 times in this massive pile of crap) are consistently the same self-deceived zealots, time after time, and the good guys after killing the bad guys move into the same self satisfying passages of supposed reflection. His portrayal of environmentalism and environmentalists is a pathetic and transparent attempt to vilify politics and ideology he clearly has no understanding of, merely to serve as the punching bag for his own right-wing longwinded philosophy. I can't believe i read this junk.
Is the review positive or negative?
