"Hunt for red October"...first and LASt good clancy book!!
Hey Ghost Walk, I'm going to use that quote,( let me know if you got it form someone else)
"Tom Clancy is what I refer to as a Military Pornographer" hehehe that had me in stitches for a while.
"Patriot games" was O.K. but really dived at the end.
But then he made, "Red Storm Rising" HOLY HORSE CRAP!!!! is the best way to describe this typed diahrea. This book stank like horse shit on a hot day. Icould just picture the 5 star american generals jerking off to it while they read it. The first 500 pages wern't bad, but the last two hundred were absolutly horendous. I had to confide in a friend of mine, who is an admitted clancy-aholic, and tell him that I couldn't finish the book, because it was soooooooo boring. He said to pick it up again and finish it because it got good at the end. I lost trak of how many submarine encounter/kills he describes, last count I had in the book was about 30!!!! It's a fricken book, 3-4 woluld've sufficed, but over 30...and in Clancy-like detail!!!! For the love of god, someone needs to put a magnet on that man's portable lap top to prevent him from finishing his next book!!!!!!!
AHHH. o/k/, sorry for al;l those out there who like Clancy, but I just had to get that off my chest....I'm going to grab a beer!
