" The worst book Clancy has ever written. Pretty good overall, but it takes a long time to do anything interesting. Still plausible, still technically good, and still worth the read.
THE BEAR AND THE DRAGON AUDIOBOOK UNABRIDGED SERIES
" The Jack Ryan series finds itself with a new generation. " Another great one from Tom Clancy and the narration really added to the suspense. " I have always been enthralled by Clancy's works and this novel kept me rapt, so that has not changed. Recomended to read during long winter evenings. " Tom Clancy, a new CIA analyst named Jack Ryan and a plot to kill the pope, what's not to grab your attention. " Much like The Bear and The Dragon, this was not up to par with the rest of the Jack Ryan series, however I did enjoy the double climax and the fact that the book concluded shortly after the climax. " Bit of a snoozer - For Clancy, that is. I'd agree that this is not one of Tom Clancy's absolute best, but ultimately I enjoyed this and am glad I read it. " Starting development chapters are very slow with a lot of redundant ideas and scenarios. Clancy's Jack Ryan character is featured again in a well-written and entertaining story. " A novel based around the attempted assassination of the pope several years ago. I thought I would hate going back in time with Jack Ryan, but I actually am enjoying getting more back-story into Ryan, the Foley's, Adm Greer, Ritter, etc. " I had to Wikipedia this to find out that Clancy has gone back and based this on a real plot. Polish Pope? Assassination by Russkies? WTF. " I love a good cold war yarn, but this one dragged and lost it's footing in more than one place. " This isn't as action packed as "Teeth Of The Tiger" but is more focused on stealth and tactics. Makes me want to jump back to Executive Orders. Slow plod through both sides' ignorance of the other, interesting start for Jack Ryan's saga though. " Seemed like Clancy was just dying to get back to the Cold War era. I did enjoy his foray into psudo-historical fiction. Not bad, but did not grip me as much as his first few books. " I had not read Clancy for a while until I picked this up on a whim. " Not as deep or detailed as the other Clancy/Ryan novels I've read so far. The opposite of a good page turning spy novel. If you edited out about 80% of this book, you might have a good story. I kept waiting for twists to come but no luck- barely managed to finish, very bloated. Sloppy writing & ostentatiously outdated views- lots of cracks about women. " A bit repetitive but Jack Ryan is always a fun character to follow. Of course, all books by Tom Clancy are interesting reads. " My first Tom Clancy book that I read it was very detailed and intriguing. " Believable story about how the Russians tried to kill JPII " - Eric, " It seems that Clancy has gone downhill with Red Rabbit and Bear and the Dragon. How Jack Ryan was involved in a REAL historical event. " I really hope that Clancy writes other books like this one. " Reading through the Jack Ryan series slowly - my "bedtime reading" around everything else on the to read pile.
