Title: The only Clancy I've returned to the store
Review: As a longtime Clancy fan I've picked up this book without hesitation the day it came up. Coming home, I breathlessly settled in for another exciting read...only to be throw back with all gentleness of a car crash. What the hell? Environmentalists who would like to kill all the people on earth. Well, gee, that's right on the par with generals who're just itching to start nuclear war in the believability department. "We project 85% casualties Mr. President, but our way of life will be safe!". Pfft.But what really killed it for me (besides the paper thin plot and cardboard characters) was the continuous exposition. "And now I,Dr. Gene Evil, will explain to you my motives. In excruciating detail. And repeat it couple of dozen times so you don't forget." Oh gawd...After the 2nd half of the book, I was reduced to just flipping through the book to find some action scenes, which at least were moderatly involving.
Is the review positive or negative?
