Rating:  Summary: You know what this book reminds me of....? Review: ...A computer game. Coincidence? Hardly. Let's face it, this is a sad piece of work from someone who brought us "The Cardinal of the Kremlin." You've made a quick buck Clancy, now go back and write a real novel. -A Big Clancy Fan (or was...)
Rating:  Summary: The best of Tom Clancy Review: I have read many Clancy books, including the Net Force , Net Force Explorer and Op-Center series, but Rainbow Six is truly Clancy's best. From the start, you feel like you are pulled in to the story and you just can't stop reading.The book has the highest speed ever, and there just aren't any boring, slow parts of the book. I don't know what to say anymore, except that I recommend this book to everyone.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: Tom Clancy at his best, and none the better. Great Book, great videogame all we need now is a movie!
Rating:  Summary: Plot line is simple; full of errors Review: Though the plot outline is intriguing, Clancy has developed an annoying habit and going into extraneous detail. This gets him, or his proofreader, lost. Character names are changing within a few pages (Tim, then Tom, then Tim); new characters suddenly appear and interact as if they have been introduced before; mystery characters are revealed accidentally in conversations (confirming one's suspicions) and then are dumped back into the shadows for later revelations. Sorry, I've enjoyed Clancy's earlier works but I've lost my taste for details of minutiae (e.g. what they ate for breakfast), repitition of character's motivitations and lack of details on key events in character's lives (Ding's wife's delivery is quickly passed over though we hear about the team's morning routine ad nauseum).
Rating:  Summary: Action packed..A must read. Review: THis book is the best of Tom Clanceys work.. The book goes into so much detail, if you dont read every line of every page, your lost. The best character was Ding Chavez. I also have the action packed video game. Even though Chavez dies in my game, hes the best of the book.
Rating:  Summary: a must read!!! Review: I've been a clancy fan for years, but the main reason I decided to read this book was because of the popularity of the video game. As soon as I picked the book up, I was glued to it and just couldn't stop myself from pulling on to see what would happen next... This book has a much deeper plot than most of clancy's other books and adds a whole new dimension to the video game experience. Spine tingling excitement from pages 1-740! This book however could have used more character development, but with the large number key characters, I think that's understandable.
Rating:  Summary: Realistic and Thrilling Review: I have just finished reading Rainbow Six. It is an excellent book that I couldn't be pulled away from. I knew what was going to happen but it didn't matter. The story still captivated me. I enjoyed the continuation of the characterization of Ding and Clark. I was however dissappointed with Clancy for leaving out Jack Ryan. His name was mentioned only once. This leads me to believe that there will be a blockbuster of a book with all the characters in one final Jack Ryan novel. Also a request that Clancy put in for a movie for some more of his books.
Rating:  Summary: Rainbow Six - a great story with action and suspense. Review: John Clark and Ding Chavez in addition to Jack Ryan, Tom Clancy's most incredible characters who are driven by passion, purpose and honor. Finally another book which allows us to learn more about Ding and John.
Rating:  Summary: Engaging but we need a new character Review: Like Exec Orders and Debt, This novels starts out slow but builds to a climatic ending. The plots are getting too predictable. Put more into the earlier chapters ( Like Kremlin) Develope new characters. Including Mr murphy, Things never go that easy!Been a big fan since 83.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderfully written, but quietly sinister. Review: Tom Clancy, as usual, has succesfully written yet another wonderfully suspenseful story of adventure,and terrorism. As usual Clancy does a terrific job of introducing his audience to his wonderful variety of characters, and locations. However, the ending reveals things about the nature of his main character, Mr. Clark, that are quietly frightening. I sincerely hope that our government does not solve problems that way in reality. After reading the book, and carefully considering it, I must say that Mr. Clark's solution to the book's main problem, is starkly unconstitutional, something one doesn't expect from Clancy's conservative persuasion. Also, the foul language in the book is both unnecessary, and unrealistic.
