Rating:  Summary: Solid, but not outstanding Review: Tom Clancy has started to get far too obsessed with filling his books with too many abbreviations that just aren't explained. If you're not in the US military then how are you expected to know what half of this stuff means. A lot of writers of military stories now include a brief glossary, explaining various technical terms but just telling us what the acronyms stand for would improve the book immeasurably. Maybe some of these abbreviations are American slang, but being English I don't know all of them and therefore, at some points in the book I feel like I've missed some joke or crucial point. Apart from this It was an decent effort, keeping me gripped right to the very end. It occasionally reached the point where I stayed reading so late into the night that I stayed awake until it was daylight again. I just couldn't wait to find out how it all ended, and as with all of Clancy's books I was not disappointed. However, I do feel that Tom Clancy has started to become a bit of a treehugger himself, instead of writing thriller stories for the thrill, and I think it all started with The Sum of All Fears. I think it is a bit of a shame because his earlier books (like The Hunt for Red October) were so good, and so believeable.
Rating:  Summary: Exciting and Powerful Adventure Review: I just completed "Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy. I found this book to be very action oriented and suspenseful to the very end. I recommend this book, along with other Clancy related novels to my friends.
Rating:  Summary: TOTALLY BELIEVABLE Review: I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING TOM CLANCYS BOOKS SINCE RED OCTOBER, THIS BOOK COULD BE A REAL UN-TOUCHED EVENT. THIS BOOK DOES NOT LET THE READER GET BORED. HIS BEST NOVEL TO DATE, ENOUGH SAID! P. LAWSON, CANADA

Rating:  Summary: It's awesome!!!!!!!!! Review: I think that Tom Clancy has did it again!!!! With all that cutting edge technology stuff, Rainbow Six is unstoppable.Being an NUS student, it has given me much entertainment, overcoming stress due to the twist and turns in this story.
Rating:  Summary: mr likes bok Review: me read, like..happy
Rating:  Summary: It fits the bill for a technothriller Review: Clancy is the dean of technothriller writers and while this might not be his cutting edge best it's still good. I don't understand all these people who post nasty reviews as if they've been personally insulted by the author. It's obvious some of these 'reviewers' haven't even read the book and are just posting spam. Anywho, not a bad book-- I also recommend a couple of other good reads: Joe Dalton's The Omega Missile; and Stephen Coonts latest is good too. Have a good day.
Rating:  Summary: it was pretty good Review: This book is worth reading for most people.It was really slow in some parts but the action parts were awesome.Probably not for a person with little patience.
Rating:  Summary: Not worth the money or time. Review: Tom Clancey used to write good books. What this was is easy to describe: PULP. If I took every repeated sentence, that he used to describe the same tone for the character, and removed them the book would have been about 200 pages shorter. It may have been worth the read if I didn't have to watch Seinfeld reruns. Tom should go back to the drawing board and look for a high tech war somewhere, and not some soap opera trash.
Rating:  Summary: A good book, certain parts held my attention.... Review: This book could have been shortened considerably. Over all it held my attention. Going into military terms the average person would not understand.
