Title: i'm bored..... (tom clancy) me too! (the reader)
Review: Any review of a new Clancy book must take into consideration his library of prior novels. Even though each new book stands alone, it can not be separated from it's brethren. When reading RB6, I kept getting the feeling that something is wrong here. After finally finishing the book, the problem hit me. Clancy is getting boring. Whereas prior novels kept getting more intense as they went on, RB6 just kept going on and on. It seems as though Clancy himself is the one getting bored with the writing, and we pay the price, (twice!). To test the thought, I re-read the last 350 pages of Debt Of Honor, a recent Clancy full novel. You're interest doesn't wane. After Red Storm Rising, Clancy's focus sharpened considerably, and hopefully he will get back on track with his next major novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
