[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 1606937, member: 149"] It did take two or three days before I became desparate enough to read TB&TD and I have not read any Clancy books since then which was about 4 years ago. Tom Clancy isn't bad in the sense of just being poorly written or dull, like a bad textbook. He's outragously bad in the way that a particularly silly movie is. It's like Highlander II, that was a movie that was so monumentally stupid, illogical and confused that it is actually worth viewing once just so you can experience the whole train wreck. It's that whole "Can it possibly get any worse?" kind of thing. Besides as I said originally, when you get to the actual action sequences, Clancy is an enjoyable writer. In general I read so quickly, that I will usually finish a book no matter how bad, unless it commits the far worse sin of being dull. Bad I can deal with, dull is a far greater sin. However silly some of Clancy's stuff may be, dull is not generally one of his flaws. [/QUOTE]
