Rating: Summary: Just what you'd expect Review: This book does its job adequately. The dialogue is typically awkward and many characters are wooden. The breakthrough moment for the plot is extraordinarily farfetched and the resolution seems harried.That said, the story moves along crisply and the terrorist atrocities it presents are unnerving, to say the least. And suprisingly, the romance (which is usually terribly botched in this genre) is quite endearing. Fans of the genre will be generally pleased.
Rating: Summary: His writing just keeps getting better! Review: This book kept me hook until the last page! I will have to read Combat next!
Rating: Summary: Prophetic Review: Tom Clancy is one of my favorite authors. How did I not know about Larry Bond?!! This is the first I have read by him and I literally just finished it a few minutes ago. What a great read!! Chilling, though, and as I said, prophetic. Either that or the warning signs for 9-11 were all too apparent before the attacks. Some of the terrorist attacks described in the book were downright scary (to me). How truly easy it would be to perform some of those acts and then blend into the woodwork! How close we are to an all-out race-related civil war. We exist is some degree of believed safety and yet, how little it would/could take to turn out world around completely. I look forward to his other books (which I hope to get-some-for Christmas. :) )
