The Bear And The Dragon Book Install Jack Ryan
A number of times up to this point I almost gave up on the book, so tedious was it.Jack Ryan has been turned into a whining, indecisive character who you don't feel like routing for anymore. But for some reason, Clancy labours through 700 pages of excruciatingly slow plotting before launching into a whirlwind final 300 pages where so much happens that none of it is covered satisfactorily. The racism and frequent bad language are off-putting too, I really don't see how liberally inserting swearing in the novel helps matters.From the title of the book you can guess the subject matter, and after the first couple of chapters you know exactly what is going to happen. To be fair, maybe the American audience being written for here lap it up, but it's certainly laid on thick. It seems like a mouthpiece for Clancy's political views, and the constant droning on about how great the United States are, and how their way is the best way, is very tiring. Sadly though, his last three novels (all since Debt of Honour) have gradually seen Clancy fall from his peak, and The Bear And The Dragon is frankly just not good enough.The move to install Jack Ryan as President has always been shaky, and is at its absolute worst now.
But I can definitely say I will wait for the paperback of the next 'thrilling' instalment.
