Rating: Summary: TERRIBLE! Tom Clancy, where are you? Boring with errors! Review: As a Tom Clancy FAN, pilot, BS in Economics and MBA, so sorry to experience this book as a total disappointment. Characters not developed! Plot(?)dissected and obscure. ERRORS! Yes, errors in the flying references; spelling; even duplicate words!! Please, Mr. Clancy, "author!" This "created by" status undermines your credibility and reputation!
Rating: Summary: This Is Tom's Worst Book Review: I can't believe that I'm 3/4ths through this mire and haven't burned it. There is almost no redeeming quality to this trash and one can only wonder how an author will put his reputation on the line with junk like this! I will force myself to finish it only because I've invested $5.+ something at Walmart for the thing. Never, in all the years I was in business, did I offer so little for so much to MY customers. Tom Clancy, go bury your head in the sand. You're NOT on my best seller list!
Rating: Summary: how come i cannot rate the book as 0 stars? Review: incredibly disappointing. slow plot, difficult terms bad book. maybe even banned
Rating: Summary: I lost all respect for Mr. Clancy!!! Review: Ruthless.com is worse than Clancy's Op-Center. The whole time I read this book I was hoping it would pick up and get better. However it did not. Half way through the book I put it down with disgust. I could not believe I had wasted my money on it. I would not recommend this book to anyone, not even if it were for free!
Rating: Summary: Save your money. I'll send you my copy. Review: After reading most of the Ops Center stories, my expectation for these Clancy projects was already lower. This was the worst. I found myself trying to finish this book just for the sake of finishing it. Most of the charaters were faceless to me and disconnected from one another. The plot never developed into a story that was exciting and the ending did not seem to be realisticaly tied to the rest of the book. Clancy would have been better saving the three or four exciting sections for a sub-plot in a different book. I have enjoyed most of Clancy's solo work and his work with Larry Bond, but I think I am done with these other projects.
Rating: Summary: Not Clancy's best effort Review: If this becomes a trend for Clancy his days as an author are over. First half of book is poorly written. Plot is boring. Waste of money, bigger waste of time. Shame on Tom Clancy. AVOID.
Rating: Summary: Better skip this one Review: (Hey, why can't I select 0 stars?) I found myself with only one book to read during Carnival holiday, and unfortunately it was this one. Too many characters, none realy "taking off" as the chapters (slowly) evolved, and boring, oh really boring. This crypto subject could have done much better in the hands of a number of less talented writers. At least the book was a gift, so I didn't waste any of my money on it. It got me through the holiday, but it was painful reading.
Rating: Summary: Fair plot, slow ending. Review: As a fan of the early Tom Clancy I was again disappointed in his later works. Ruthless.com has a fair plot but with too many characters to really follow. Clancy fails to develop most of the characaters thus keeping the reader from becoming attached to them and not really caring what happens to them. I was slightly intrigued by the plot until it fell apart at the end leaving me wondering why I didn't follow my first hunch and leave it sitting on the bookstore shelf.
Rating: Summary: FAILURE!!!!! Review: I am a fan of Clancy, but this book was so boring and the ending was so obvious. I was on a trip and had only brought this book so I was trapped. I will give Clancy another chance, but maybe he should slow down and spend more time on his books.
Rating: Summary: Not a best effort. Obviously trying to sell the game. Review: The book is an example of the type of characters who are involved in the worldwide game. The plot was jumpy, characters sketchy.
