Title: Just plain bad
Review: I have read all of Tom Clancy's books, but the Bear and the Dragon is just bad. 3 reasons made me not finish this book.1) Repeated harsh ethnic slurs against the chinese. How many times can you read "chink" "slant" or "barbarians" before one gets really offended. Makes me think that Clancy really doesn't like the Chinese. Never heard him talk about the Russians like that in his other books when they were the enemy.2) Clancy has made Ryan into a whining cry-baby. All he ever does is complain about government and the fact that people don't call him by his first name.3) Just plain boring.Sorry to say that this book not up to par with Clancy's other novels. I really enjoyed them all up to Rainbow Six, which I found to be only OK.
Is the review positive or negative?
