Book Reviews of Line of Control (Tom Clancy's Op-Center, Book 8)
Book Review: Once I put it down, I could not pick it up
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book before heading out on an airline flight, and found I could not read more than half of it before skipping to the end. Absolutely terrible writing, lacking focus or direction. I'm at a loss as to where all these 5-star reviews came from, surely these are not Tom Clancy's regular readers. Clancy can write, the licensed "author" of this book cannot. As another reviewer said, it unfolded like a contract being filled out. This book alone has ensured I will avoid any "created by" series by Tom Clancy, how could he let this one out of the barn door? A big disappointment.Book Review: Worst book ever!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I only borrowed this book because it said Tom Clancy on it and I was shocked to see that he had actually not written this book.
This is the most inaccurate Tom Clancy book I have ever read:
- Srinagar is not 25 miles away from the Line of Control
- India has a 'no first use' policy meaning that it will not be the first one to use nuclear weapons (this means the 'SFF' had no excuse to blow up anything)
- There is nothing like the 'naga naga' snake in India
- Cell phones do not work in Kargil or any city in Kashmir except Srinagar
Book Review: Juvenile
Summary: 1 Stars
I read a LOT, and was running to the airplane with out a book, so I picked this up near the gate. Oh my. Be warned. This is written for 14-year old boys. Cornball salutes, deep thoughts about friends, country, fellow warriors blah yada pablum. The cover should have been enough warning. I can't believe something like this gets published. This 'inspired by' racket is really something. It's pulp publishing for the 21st Century.
Book Review: Line of Control is DOA
Summary: 1 Stars
Sloppy, formulaic writing laced with facts and factoids like a term paper. The characters are so wooden and one-dimensional that the book is almost unreadable. If you should happen to take it to the beach, slather on plenty of sunblock before you turn the first page. This "thriller" may put you to sleep.Book Review: Worst book I have read in a looooooong time
Summary: 1 Stars
As a big fan of Clancy, this book was a biiiiiig disappointment. I wish Clancy had put more research( actually more research is wrong, more is a comparitive word and is used to compare to finite entities, but here the entity called research was zero, so I should say some research)before writing the novel.
