Negative Positive
Title: Generic
Review: Why is it that seemingly every english speaking person on earth has a copy of this novel sitting on their bookshelf?Possibly the most bland, formulaic, unrealistic novel i have ever read. It constantly feels as though it is about to end, before you realise you still have 500 pages to go. It drags on and on.Tom Clancy writes like every other novelist in this genre, if indeed he does write the majority of his own books.This is trashy fiction in the extreme masquerading as something of a higher quality. There is no thinking involved. The 'what if' scenario of a Chinese invaision of Russia is about as far as this mediocre mass stretches the imagination, which is slightly less than your average 'Mr Men' installment.The number of hours i spent reading this book would have been better spent writing a book of equal volume about all varieties of paint ever conceived.Nausiatingly dull. The same as every other book he has ever written.
