Summary: Absolute Rubbish!
Review: This can't be a Tom Clancy book - it's simply appalling! Frankly I was more than dissappointed - I feel ripped off having wasted my time reading this. Until this book I was a Tom Clancy fan - now I doubt I'll read another of his books (certainly none of the Net Force series).The plot (if you can call it that) is hopeless, characters are 1 dimensional, and the purile sub-plot about inane high school kids romance is irrelevent. Don't waste your time.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: This is the very first Clancy novel I've tried and I wasn't much impressed. Basically a Sidney Sheldon melodrama with some science fiction tacked on. Also there were some unnecessary subplots that were weak and irrelevant (the colonel's son, the agent's love triangle, the female monk...). These took the edge away from what I thought was going to be a to-the-point, intense SciFi-thriller. Not a complete waste of time, but not time well spent.

Summary: Bad and getting worse
Review: Tom Clancy should fire his ghostwriter before he puts him out of business. I found this book almost impossible to read. The characters were bad and the plot was terrible. I hope he starts taking his writing career a little more serious. I pray that Bear and the Dragon were written by the old Tom Clancy.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Tom Clancy's latest Net Force offering falls short of the high standard he has maintained for his novels. Those accustomed to his technical detail, his political manuevering, his non-stop action will find that this novel focuses much more on personal relationships than previous books. For instance, VR expert Jay faces the greatest challenge as he must track down the computer responsible for creating situations resulting in mass deaths. For the first time, Jay experiences physical dangers in VR and his experiences are tense and shocking. From VR, however, the book switches to Tyrone and his high school romance, something that has no place in this book. The teenage jargon, the infatuation with the school beauty queen and the boomerang trials are hardly subjects relevant to the book but rather interrupt the flow of the story. A good deal of the action takes place in England, which provides the opportunity for interaction with MI-6 and British intelligence. Again, however, there is more focus on romance with a British counterpart and the resulting problems than action. The plot is thin and the exciting finish we have grown accustomed to in Clancy works is missing. In other books Clancy has co-written, Op Center, Net Force, etc., it has always been possible to see Clancy's style and direction. Night Moves has much less of the Clancy style - and it shows.
