Rainbow Six

Rating:
Summary: The least good of Tom Clancy's Books
Review: I have been trying to get through this book with two thoughts in mind - when will it get better and why is he just rehashing the last book. If I had my druthers, I would have just listened to it on cassette. The specifics of the special ops unit has been the only part of the book that has been interesting.

Rating:
Summary: A scary read following the bombing of Iraq
Review: Tom Clancy has always impressed me with his attention to detail and what I thought was excellent research. However I note (as many other fellow readers have) that his research is off somewhat in this book. As far as I know Hereford does not have a landing strip for aircraft and as a shareholder in British Telecom I know it is not owned by the British Government! I trust Mr Clancy's work will be more informed next time otherwise I will have to look elsewhere for techno-thrillers.

Summary: Clancy the gun totin, wanna-be Soldier of Fortune loser
Review: If this book doesn't take you back to GI Action Series comics of the 50s, nothing will. This is about as 2-dimensional and dumb of story as you will find in your airport's bookstore. And that includes the romance novels. Clancy's bad-boys tote the 10mm MP-10, which Clancy seems to have an infatuation with, and "double-tap" all the bad guys. Even when he kills a little sick child at an amusement park, his macho boys write it off as "well, she was gonna die of cancer in a week anyhow." Give it a rest. Do us a favor, make your testosterone overloaded characters do somthing realistic, like turn the guns on each other, and remove the woman-bashing prose.

Summary: Not up to Clancy's normal excellence.
Review: The plot was a little too contrived and too far fetched to be belivable. Some of the stuff sounded like it came from a Mac Bolan story. I think Clancy is resting on his laurels.

Rating:
Summary: it was really cool and he writes good books
Review: Rainbow Six was altogether an awesome book, there were some problems though. The first team was always used, but when they used the second one something happened, but I can't say. I haven't finished the whole thing but its filled with excitement page after page!

Rating:
Summary: This is Clancy at his finest.
Review: I was surprised by this book in many ways. While I've always been a fan of Clancy's, I thought I would finally start getting sick of reading about CIA groups and issues like that. I was dead wrong. This is a book that no Clancy fan should miss. Even though it's a massive book, it still gives you suspense and action more than 50% of the time which is great for any book. This might just be my favorite Clancy book and is one of my favorite books of all time.

Rating:
Summary: OK But Far To Long
Review: Being an avid reader who reads about 3-4 books per month, I found this book to be interesting but way, way to long. There were many dead spots in the book where I would lose interest and even contimplated not finishing it. Clancy could have gotten the same result in about 300 less pages. Too much time introducing characters and setting the plots.

Summary: I'm glad they didn't sell this by the pound
Review: The story while rather mediocre and most unbelievable could have been told in 200 pages or less.

Summary: Great Book... Dissapointing Ending
Review: I found the fook to be fabulous, but the ending could have been much better.

Summary: Clancy delivers the goods once again
Review: When I first heard that there was a new Tom Clancy novel out, I was very excited. I have read all of Mr.Clancy's novels and have never been disappointed yet. Right from the start Rainbow grabs you and does not let go. As usual the story paints a broad picture and is rich in detail. I lost quite a bit of sleep because I refused to put it down. It has all the hallmarks of a Clancy Classic. Bravo Mr.Clancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
