Rainbow Six

Summary: Great classic Clancy book....... with some problems.
Review: Living in Barcelona close to where part of the story takes place and also working in the Olympic Stadium helped bring the story home for me. I have read all of Tom Clancy's fiction work with the exception of the Op-Center series which I understand he didn't actually write anyway. I found this book to be right up there with all of his others with a few drawbacks in terms of the plot. But after Debt of Honor and Executive Orders you can't try to reach a higher climax so you go off in another direction. He did a great job of it. He's truely the master of the techno-thriller.

Summary: This is not the Mr. Clark you thought he would be.
Review: This work is better than the Op-Center works, but still lacks the feel of a Clancy novel when the main character is Jack Ryan.

Summary: Please! Clancy Fans, Walk Away From This One!
Review: As a dedicated reader and fan of everything Clancy, it pains me to read the latest adventure of John Clark and Ding Chavez. Not since 'Sum of All Fears' has Clancy woven such a lose and outright boring tale. The story line is only exciting when the newly formed Rainbow counter-terror team deploys for action using the hightech devices at their disposal to to bring down the bad guys. When the story reveals that the true enemy is a bunch of Eco-Terrorists intent on killing the world's population...enough is enough! Tom please!?! Has the world gotten this boring since the demise of the Soviet Block? This dear Clancy fans is a must miss!

Rating:
Summary: lack of suspense
Review: It is unfortunate that tom clancy has decided to release a new book per year. This pace really decrease the quality of the thing. This last book was too predictable. From the first couple of pages you know that nothing really bad is going to happen to Clark's team so you lose the interest really fast.Reading about a bunch of soldier killing people, even terrorists, did not keep me on the edge of my seat. Clancy wrote great books I hope this one is only an exception

Rating:
Summary: I made myself finish it.
Review: Because I have read and enjoyed many of Clancy's other novels, I was eager to read this one, too. What a disappointment! This book just plods on endlessly. It's about as suspenseful as finding out that all your blue jeans are blue. Don't bother to buy this one.

Rating:
Summary: decent- not his best work
Review: Rainbow Six was entertaining with some good action scenes. However, the plot was too predictable and the book did not contain Mr. Clancy's usual attention to character building as was present in his other novels. It was enjoyable reading. However, I feel that I'd have been better off waiting until the less expensive paperback was available.

Rating:
Summary: Pure Entertainment
Review: I have read all of Clancy's books and have enjoyed them all. At first I missed the Jack Ryan character, I quickly got into Rainbow Six. I really enjoyed reading it!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Action minus some Clancy Depth
Review: I thought that this book is an excellent read for the reader who craves action. Page after page of attacks and operations keep you reading. The only real downside to the story is that it is missing some of the depth and mystery that Clancy usually brings to a novel. Also, the book is a little bit to predictable. My biggest complaint: Clancy uses the same team over and over again on missions when it should have alternated between the two. When he finally uses the other team, what happens?? Read it to find out what I mean! All in all, an excellent read.

Rating:
Summary: A Great Read
Review: Rainbow Six was a wonderful book. I thought it had a lot more action in it than Tom Clancy's other books. I couldn't put it down. I was up till 2:00 in the morning reading it. It was all worth it though. I recommend it to any Tom Clancy fans.

Summary: Not his best but better than most out there
Review: The problems with this book have been noted by others reviewers-- over-noted by many-- while they've ignored the fact that you get a nice, long, fun read in the thriller genre with this book. It ain't brain surgery, folks. Other good thrillers-- Coonts latest is good; Joe Dalton's Omega Missile is pretty good; also found the last two Riley special forces series books I didn't have by Bob Mayer here on Amazon and completed my set. If you haven't read Mayer, check him out. Try Cut Out or Dragon Sim-13. Even Synbat which was pretty wild was good. Looking forward to Clancy's next and hope he gives a bit more depth to his characters which was what I enjoyed about his earlier work.
