Negative Positive
Title: Readable, but up to Clancy's old caliber?
Review: This book isn't a horrible book, but not what people have come to expect from Clancy. First, the complaints. This book's biggest weakness is it's bad habit of jumping around, and jamming characters in for the entirity of three pages. Obviously, those characters aren't given much opportunity for development, and even some of the major characters seem to be either flat or generic. Also, the plotline,while serviceable, has been done before, and better, and there are many mediocre subplots. On to the good point. This book has some very exciting moments, especially during the (Potential spoiler)terrorist attack on New York. The rest of the book, however, tends to be dog slow. All in all, it's an OK book, but not on par with previous Clancy efforts.
