Summary: Possibly the worst book I have ever read
Review: I don't know where to start.This is AWFUL. All the previous books in the series have gone from 'good' to 'excellent'. This looks like it was purely written to finance Mr Clancy's legal costs from his divorce. I can't imagine any other reason why he would have written such a load of tripe as this. This blight on our culture needs withdrawl from all book shops and any sucker (me included) who purchased it (in hardback!) to get a refund as well as compensation for the waste of their time in reading it. If you've read this try re/reading 'Red Storm Rising'. It's hard to imagine they are both written by the same guy. AWFUL.... "Must try harder"

Summary: Not to be Missed
Review: I must admit, that before 9/11/01, I was a voracious reader of anything Clancy. I simply could not get enough. With Clancy's material being what it is, however, I found that I had no desire to read any more fictional stories about our homeland being struck and other such things after that day. That changed a couple weeks ago when I was presented with the opportunity to read this book. I found it was the same Tom Clancy style that I had so loved before, but tastefully done when taking into consideration what happened over two years ago. Without giving too much of the book away, the enemy in this book is extreme Islams. Another reviewer mentioned that Clancy's book was anti-Arab to a degree. I disagree. In fact, in one chapter, Jack Jr. downloads the Koran, and upon reading portions of it, learns that Islam and Catholicism aren't terribly different, but that extremists have twisted their religion to meet their desires. As far as the characters, it represents a changing of the guard. Jack Sr., Clark, and others are mentioned throughout, but never make an actual appearance. Clancy has passed the torch to a younger set of characters, and this offering bodes well for a new run of intelligence and counterintelligence adventures. Well done, Mr. Clancy. Buyers won't be disappointed.

Summary: Clancy's Getting Sloppy...
Review: Above all, peerless research & airtight believability have always hallmarked Clancy's work, but those aspects were nowhere to be seen in this book. In order to keep the legacy of Jack Ryan in play, he decides to sell us the notion that the son of a former U.S. President could be sent to Vienna to back up a black ops mission? Hello? Even Amy Carter would have a hard time flying to Vienna without the press taking note at some level; this is like dispatching Chelsea Clinton to infiltrate Osama's Hideout. A spook with a secret service detail & a throng of paparazzi is not an asset to a secret mission. The tactics of this book's most unlikely trio of heroes are, described generously, clumsy. The folks at Langley must still be wiping away tears of laughter. Even a reference to the Lockheed plant in Burbank, CA...tsk tsk. It hasn't been there for years; there's a shopping center there now. For shame, Tom; you know how to write a better book than this.

Summary: Who wrote this book? It is truly awful
Review: TERRIBLE! Teeth of the Tiger reads like a tepid first draft of a screenplay written for Ben Affleck. As an avid Clancy fan, I found intial rumblings that he may use a ghost writer far fetched. After reading this joke, I'm sure that they are true.

Summary: Predictable, boring, waste of time
Review: If you liked Clancy's early novels, you will hate this one. Taking a page from Michael Crichton, he has written a book designed to be made into a movie. The complex, multiple threads that Clancy used to weave together throughout a book, reaching a dramatic climax in the end, are gone. Character development? No need for that. Insights into breaking edge technology? Apparently too much time required to do the research. About the only good thing about it was that Clancy only tortured his readers with a little over 400 pages of [stuff] instead of the 800+ pages of babble stuffed between the covers of his last two repetitive and horrible novels. There are enough lame Clancy wannabes producing generic techno-thrillers. I hope that Clancy returns to his previous form in his next novel (though this doesn't appear likely based on the ending) or somebody else steps up to the plate.

Summary: Fast paced easy read that is entertaining if not enthralling
Review: I thought that Teeth of the Tiger was entertaining and worth the read although I didn't feel like I couldn't put it down. In fact, I found myself putting it down and reading something else when the pages turned by on there own too quickly. It vaguely feels like it is Tom Clancy but not overly so. There are 3 Ryan's in the story but unfortunately they are the son and nephews of the one you want to read about. It feels familiar enough for veteran Clancy readers to jump right into the world. The action is interesting if not a little few and far between. The bad guys seem a little cliché and a little bit gullible, but are certainly despicable. I won't give away any details because frankly the plot descriptions already give too much away. In the end it left me hoping that maybe this might be a new direction for a series to go. To sum up it is a quick read that should keep a Clancy fan happy. It feels familiar but don't directly expect it to be one of the other Clancy novels that it seems to somewhat parallel. If you haven't read them all already you might want to pick up one of the OTHER Jack Ryan novels and wait for this one on sale.

Summary: Diminishing Returns
Review: "Hunt for Red October" was brilliant - a well-researched, taunt tour de force! "Sum of All Fears" was as good as the movie made from it was bad. And now "The Teeth of the Tiger"... Half as many words as Clancy's previous novels, and only a tenth of his previous inspiration. The book seems forced, drifts along with a really implausible plot, and is populated with two-dimensional, cartoon-like characters. I was shocked at the facile plot device in the middle of the book - I was literally shouting at the author while reading: "This is beneath you!" No one can be good all the time - but this one just seems to be ground out as the obligatory next installment. Reread one of the jewels above instead of spending your money on this turkey.

Summary: Excuse Me? That was a Clancy?
Review: I don't know what I can really add to what everyone else must have said. I'm shocked,disappointed, disgusted! First of all, it was hard to read. Even Debt of Honour, which is probably his wordiest book, which invokes the temptation to skip the overly detailed battle sequences, was a book I managed to read and thoroughly enjoy. This one was just boring!! Details, too many of them, and all of uninteresting things. It's obvious that Clancy suddenly decided to bring Sept 11 and the War on Terrorism into his Alternate History as well. It didn't quite work. But what worked even less is the blatant attempt to take a fundamentally bad book, and hitch it to the Jack Ryan goodwill. Robby Jackson conveniently killed, in the most improbably way, Ryan's secret operations. Jack Jr. is full of "memories" of "The Saying of Jack Ryan" Come On!!! If ya can't write a good book today, wait till tomorrow!! IF Tomorrow Comes. I agree with whoever said this book deserved a Minus 10... I actually wanted to burn it. Clancy has always been full of Jingoism, but never before has Jingoism been the entirety of his work Shame on you, Tom Clancy. A true fan weeps

Summary: Keep them coming!
Review: In his latest contribution to the Jack Ryan series, Tom Clancy introduces the next generation with Jack Ryan, Jr. and his two cousins who wish to follow in the footsteps of our beloved protagonist. _The Teeth of the Tiger_ brings us into the world of covert, non-sanctioned intelligence business, and leaves us wanting more. Sadly, we still want more even at the end of the book. At times, _The Teeth of the Tiger_ appears even more biased and vitriolic against Arabs than Clancy's previous works, but seems to be well-grounded in historical fact and current happenstance; Clancy is also careful to remind us that not all Arabs are like this. One regret I have is that the book was predictable and at times pedestrian, a far cry from most of Clancy's work. Therefore, my 5 stars are a bit reluctant.

Summary: Not his best but adequate
Review: This definitely isn't Clancy's best writing but an improvement over Red Rabbit which was downright awful. Jack Ryan's son, Jack, Jr, becomes a player in the game of terrorist hunting and espionage. While Jack, Jr is only 23 years old, Clancy turns his character into spoiled brat of sorts. He makes too many references to his "daddy" instead of carving out his own niche and focusing on his strengths. The Caruso brothers are very interesting new characters but the criteria used to select them to hunt down terrorists is highly unbelievable. He also fails to mention how these guys are related to Ryan. Very action-packed with good dialogue among the Muslims and South American drug dealers. If you are new to Clancy's writings, you might enjoy this one. However, if you've read epics like Executive Orders or Without Remorse, you will come away feeling a little empty.
