Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of guns and explosions!!
Review: Incredible-non-stop thrills

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thrilling Novel
Review: I was extremely happy with this book. This was the first Tom Clancy book I ever read and it was awesome!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clancy's Greatest Work
Review: He finally found some real life dangers to ponder on, and does it greatly. His heavy description beefs up the book and the extra adjectives make hime better than fellow author Michael Crichton

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: His worst book so far
Review: Little more than a collection of weak action sequences connected by an even weaker plot. Don't buy this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Absolutely Intriguing!!!!
Review: At first, I thought that this was going to be a typical Tom Clancy novel where in the beginning the bad guys reek havoc and then the good guys come in and make the world a better place.

Rainbow Six completely takes you by suprise with the first paragraph. When ever someone mentions the word Clancy, images of Harrison Ford (and Alec Baldwin [Hunt for Red October] immediately come to mind. I have always thought that John Clark was an dark, brooding and very interesting character who has realized that today's bad guy has evolved into something horrific and the only to beat the bad guy at his own game is to fight like him.

I liked this novel, it has everything that is needs, a good hero, great supporting characters, and wonderful dialoge. BUT.. this novel is too long. At 800 pages, it drags out some of the scenes and I actually found myself wanting to counting the pages to see how long some of the scenes were.

But all in all I highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves action movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most detailed action sequences of any Clancy work
Review: I am a teenager and contrary to most beliefs, I do enjoy reading. I'm sure any boy my age would enjoy this book as well as any other Clancy novel. They all contain action as well as intresting and compelling plots. This is a definite must read for any age group.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clancy's book always makes me happy, but...
Review: I think Tom must have been looking for a new type of enemy. As Eastern block collapsed, Novelists cannnot depend on the Evil-spy of USSR or so any more. The sinister ecologists in this book is very plausible to me, and like most of Tom's Jack Ryan series, It's very exciting. But I must confess this book is too long to read and...the climax is not so good to me. I always amazed by the imagination of this author, but Tom should make changes a little bit.

PS> In Korea, Everybody knows the computer game "Rainbow Six (and the Eagle Watch)" but...few knows that the original is this novel..how strange...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Engrossing
Review: Tom Clancy has done it yet again. Following his heroin John Clark, Clancy integrates some of his greatest characters into this novel. The stories of an international counter-terrorism team have an incredible detail to them. Rainbow Six holds up to all of the expectations any Clancy lover would have. I hope his next is as action-packed as this.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A 400 page book padded up to 800 pages
Review: I have loved much of Clancy's work including the last 1/3 of this one but I couldn't help feeling that nowadays he must be getting paid by the word. Much of the first half of the book was simply boring. His love of horrendous minutiae made it difficult to hang on for the good part.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining nothing more
Review: Tom Clancy's latest is not his finest work, but not horrible in any sense. It was entertaining for the most part, with highs and lows. The ending was a disappointment. Felt rushed and ill thought out almost as if Clancy was searching for a quick way to end it all. Popov though was engaging and strangely enough, I felt Popov to be the only character that I felt emotion with. Great character, hope this is not the last of Popov. If the other characters in this book were only so involving then the book would have garnered a much higher score.
