The Teeth of the Tiger: INSPIRATION FOR THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN (Jack Ryan Jr)

Good One !

Item was as described by the seller, well packed and delivered on time schedule. I will definitely recommend this product and the seller. Thanks to the Amazon team. You make everything from online shopping to delivery to your customers. Keep up the good attitude. Thanks one and all.

Quite relevant in its long-winded and over technical way, but the very idea of having a clandestine assassination squad operating at the whim of a non-governmental entity is not only frightening but rather reflective on American 'shoot em up' policy. While the majority of the book is quite good, it is over descriptive and assumes the reader is technically and militarily aware. Also, to have a veritable 'rookie' responsible for killing on a scale is extremely hard to both believe and understand.Again, a quite good, but sometimes rather boring book.

I've read every Clancy novel and this has to be the worst he's written! There are obvious plot holes and the characters are poorly written. Anybody who's read Clancy, or any other spy novel, knows that you watch your target for a while before killing him. That way you get more leads on possible contacts. As I was reading this I was mentally screaming at the pages to tell the characters to slow down! The ending is very much an anti-cimax and you turn over the last page looking for an epilogue, when there isn't one.

The story is biased and quite offensive for non-Americans as well as to anybody who cares about any kind of constitution. The knowledge of the world outside America is deplorable, starting from the poor attempts at including other languages and continuing with geographical description. Not to talk about the politics exhibited in this book.

If you are reading this review you are probably already aware that Teeth Of The Tiger is not as good as earlier works like "Sum Of All Fears" or "Without Remorse". However, forget for a moment that it's a Clancy product and it suddenly seems quite a good book. The fact is that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I couldn't put it down. That is because TC really knows how to write narrative and dialogue and puts the story elements together in a way that, whilst predictable, somehow sucks you in - every time!Yes the characters are two-dimensional. Yes the baddies are ridiculous and full of superficial contradictions while the 'heroes' are the usual all American, solid thinking right-wing stereotypes that Tom Clancy likes to portray but thankfully this book shys away from the sort of extended political soap box rhetoric that so ruined 'Executive Orders' and hence it becomes so damn readible its actually irritating for those of us who are trying to write our own novels. It ought to get four stars from me but as we have come to expect so much from Clancy, in the light of his other works it only gets three. That doesn't make it bad - just not great.
