Rainbow Six

Rating:
Summary: You want real special operations?
Review: Clancy doesn't cut it with this overblown, politically motivated book. Check out Andy McNabb's, Bob Mayer's or even Dick Marcinko's books. Or James Webb's classics.

Rating:
Summary: Much to wordy and predictable.
Review: I usually really enjoy Clancy's books. But this one is not one that you will read without putting it down. It took me over a week to read and I had to force myself to finish the book. Really not up to his usual standards. No suspense in the book at all.

Rating:
Summary: Predictable - but great
Review: After reading the prolouge of this book, I just couldn't put it down until I was finished. I've read several other Clancy books, but this one takes the price. Sure, it's a bit predictable, but it's written with the words of someone with real insight in the business, so it's well worth a buy!

Rating:
Summary: Boring novelization of a game
Review: ... and, if you like repetitive, episodic action, you should buy the computer game ... or watch six episodes of a bad TV show. The only reason to buy the book is to prove to your peers that you can read. Tom Clancy has, regrettably, taken the final, fatal plunge into complete commercialization of his waning talent. Very disappointing.

Rating:
Summary: Way Too Predictable
Review: Rainbow Six just seemed to lack that element of the unknown that won't allow you to put one of Clancy's books down. It was as easy to predict as a Disney movie. Other than that it was fun, and if you've already mowed the lawn and washed your hair it might be worth a read. Just too predictable.

Rating:
Summary: Long, exciting... but... a let down ending. Doh!
Review: I don't usually read novels or thrillers, but I was tempted to buy this book because of it's cheap price, and I am now thoroughly glad I bought it. Clancy obviously knows what he's talking about when it comes to special ops and alike, the detail he puts into the several shooting matches is massive, with several pages devoted to just several seconds. The story was also a strong point, as it is a 'what if' scenario about the population killing virus, and the way he juggles the main characters involved is complex, but understandable. My main letdown of the book was the ending. But, ending aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Rating:
Summary: IT'S THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The book Rainbow Six is one of Clancy's best. It is the truth that Clancy writes the best thrillers. I hope there will be some evevn cooler and better book will be produced by Clancy

Rating:
Summary: a gem
Review: best book i've read in the military fiction genre since the triumph & the glory

Rating:
Summary: Very weak.
Review: The poorest of an increasingly weak string of novels from the factory known as Clancy. Suggest he retire. Try others. Like McNabb's SAS series of Mayer's Special Forces series.

Rating:
Summary: Thrilling, yet a couple thin spots in the plot.
Review: One of Tom's better works. This will keep you going for a good long time
