Interesting plot, poor writing
|

To be honest, I was never expecting a good book, but this book was just horrific. After reading about someone performing feats of agility that would be tricky for a gymnast (someone slamming onto their gut just scans badly - slamming onto the stomach is better), I was constantly jarred out of the feeling of immersion. Reading a story based around the Paris sequence we saw in the first few trailers for the game would have been better, as would having the book written by Tom Clancy himself! The characters were interesting enough, but the plot didn't really seem to give them much room to breathe properly. Major Dennison in particular seemed to be chewing the scenery...

Lazy merchandising

I got this in April , as I was waiting for the game to appear. Well, the game still isn't out...but sadly the book was! Less engaging than a video game and with a tedious narrative.
If the game is like the book this might be the first Clancy I avoid....

Clancy ?

It's hardly Red Storm Rising.
Attempt at a Clancy type novel for 10 year olds.
No in depth tech descriptions.
Poor characterisation.
Badly written.
Can't understand why he has lent his name to it (all though he now has an extra few quid of mine as I bought it due to his association).

Hopefully it is the end

Absolute utter rubbish,no substance no characterisation.....how Clancy can associate himself with such drivel after penning Red Storm Rising is beyond me.
