content: I'm sorry. I've bought and read every one of Clancy's books since his first, the Hunt for Red October. But the more years that pass, the less I like his work. Even Executive Orders was a chore. I was in a bookstore recently and compared his books to War and Peace, and his are longer. I mean seriously, can't it be done better? His stories are pretty good. But his way of telling them has become tedious and now, for me, unendurable. Way too long, way too jerky (from one story line to another, many of which just don't matter), and ultimately dark and humorless. I'm done. No more Clancy for me.
