Review: Wow!

Tom Clancey's first effort could not have been this good.

I literally lost a whole night's sleep because I could not put "Red Lion" down. It is truly different; the plot had twists I have never seen before, and the tone was intensely genuine. This book was so emotionally gripping that it often made me want to reach into the pages, pull out one of the characters, and give them a piece of my mind.

I would have liked to have seen more development of the romance between Jack and Lisa. The structure of the main story provided a lot of interesting tension--and therefore passion--that could have been further explored there. But the fact that a book is so rich that there was no room to develop all of the possibilities is really more of a positive aspect than a negative one. It was fully satisfying as it stands, and that is all you can ask for.
