Negative Positive
Title: Waste of time
Review: I'm a Clancy fan, have read all of his books, and "Without Remorse" is perhaps my favorite book. But if the Jack Ryan series continues this way, I'm going to have to stop reading. There is entirely too much time spent on the technical detail, with very little character development.Now that Jack Ryan is president, he isn't an underdog, which was the basis of his appeal and heroism. And frankly, there is too much political opinion included with Ryan as president. If I wanted to read about political debate on issues such as gun control and abortion, I'd read the newspaper or watch "Meet the Press" or some other news program. I read for entertainment, and Clancy's Ryan series has been getting less entertaining in the past few installments.Unless you are a diehard Clancy fan, save your money for the paperback, or check this out at the library. And be prepared to be put to sleep by the technical details.
