Once you have read a Tom Clancy novel, it would seem you know what you are going to get with all the rest. I love immersing myself in the worlds he spins together. At times they feel a bit tedious, other times the pace is flying along. Patriot Games was another great block of entertainment. ( )

This book was fast-paced and thrilling...in places... and slow and ploddy in others. Some aspects were incredibly far fetched, and it is rather larger than life. I haven't seen the film, but I guess the same probably applies. Its an entertaining read for a rainy afternoon, but not really anything to get your teeth into. ( )

This book is a great read. It starts off very fast and has a great ending. Although I've heard people complain of the relatively long dialogue in the middle of the book, I believe it is necessary to set up the entertaining conclusion of this book. Don't give up on it in the middle. ( )
