Summary: The BEST Clancy Novel EVER!!!
Review: I think that Rainbow Six was the BEST Clancy novel since Patriot Games. I think this beccause of the lelel of action, adventure, and intrigue that makes you not want to put the book down. I recommen dthis book to anyone 18 or older due to the amount of descriptive gory deaths. This is NOT a kiddie book!!!! This is an adult book that should only be read by those who won't be shocked by the level of profanity. This is Clancy at his best!!

Summary: Like Cussler, Clancy's work deteriorates.
Review: I used to love Tom Clancy. Granted he is no John Irving but his stories were fun and well told. But this book is a drudge. I've grown tired of the mutual admiration society the characters are mired in. And everything is just too simple. There is no gray area, just right and wrong. And the conservative political agenda sticks out a little too far for me. Clive Cussler lost me with that book where he and Giordino trudge through the desert (Sahara?). His shallow characterization and endless macho themes finally turned me off. I shall never read another Cussler. Rainbow Six challenges Cussler for emptiness and will be the last Clancy I ever read unless he regains his old fire.

Summary: Good--but not his best
Review: Although this is a good book with a great plot summary, this is not one of Tom Clancy's best. The technical data, as expected, is superior to most other war novels. The plot is rather original compared to most of the books I read, but there was just something missing. Tom Clancy tried to be to modern, and changed his writing style, for the worse, to appease his audiance. This was not worth the effort, as many people would have read and enjoyed the book any way. I would recommend this book, but I did think that it could have been better. -Justin Barr

Summary: A lot to say about nothing.
Review: This long, long book lacks characteriztion, believable plot, and a purpose. I knew about the same before I read the book as after. Too much discussion about cleaning and caring for one's guns. All the characters were shallow and lacked all emotion. The only real character was the former KGB agent and even he lacked substance. 750 pages of wasted time. I can't believe I read the whole thing. I would not recommend this book for any reason except a cure for insomnia.

Summary: Best book I've ever read!
Review: I absolutely love RAINBOW SIX. It is the best book I've ever read. There is almost nonstop action throughtout the book, from the prologue to the epologue. This is the best action book from Tom Clancy.

Summary: I don't know what everyone is complaining about
Review: Tom Clancy continues to keep you on the edge of your seat with his latest, "Rainbow Six". Everyone says that this book is repetitive and gets boring. My question for them is what do you do on a regular basis that can possibly be more exciting than this? In my opinion the book is a keeper and I'll take a book like this anyday.

Summary: Just plain awesome!
Review: I was scared at first looking at the mere size of the book. I was unable to put it down and read it in two weeks. Fast paced and action packed. Excellent characters and tactical situations. A must read. If you haven't read a Tom Clancy this is a great book to start with.

Summary: A great book......A must read!!!!
Review: Tom Clancy does it again. If you have liked any of his other books, then you must read this book. Rainbow Six was a great book which I could not put down. Read it!!!

Summary: Mr. Clancy, but Mr. Clancy...
Review: Mr. Clancy, but Mr. Clancy...This book definitely lacks the all around quality of his other works. Although it weaves an interesting yarn that takes unexpected turns and beckons the reader to read more, I couldn't help but to notice the lack of refinement that I expect out of a Clancy novel. The dialogue was poorly written, the first half was far too predictable, the characters desperately flat. The use of stereotypes was greatly disturbing and he aught to have paid more attention to making the book a well refined piece of writing. Moreover, as a student of the German language I couldn't help but to notice the many mistakes in Clancy's use of German. To me that definitely detracted from the effectiveness of the story. At least he could have looked up his words in an English-German/German-English dictionary to make sure the German words are spelled correctly! I had counted over 14 seperate errors by the time I was on chapter 10, my conclusion can only be that he failed to proof-read his writing. My recommendation is that Mr. Clancy gets off his high horse and starts to write quality books instead of useless garbage. In conclusion, this book is worth little more than the paper its written on.

Summary: Clancy combined 2 previous books into this disappointment...
Review: This book read like a John Grisham movie...same plot. The book's was a combination of "The Sum of All Fears" and "Executive Orders." Eg. A nuclear device at the super bowl...and a chemical weapon device at the Olympics. A plague that gets spread across the U.S., ...and a disease that will spread across the world. How boring the second time around. 1 bad book out of 10, he still has an "A" average...
