Book Reviews of The Hunt for Red October (Jack Ryan)
Book Review: Desperately Needs an Editor
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed the overall plot and Jack Ryan's character; they were the only elements that kept me dedicated to completing the novel. Clancy could have edited 40% of the text out and had a much better story. This novel is bogged down with irrelevant character descriptions, military acronyms, tedious sub-plots, and background stories that have nothing to contribute to the novel's overall focus. I found myself constantly frustrated with the monotonous length it took to cover simple plot points. Clancy obviously has a huge audience; however, he needs an effective editor. This novel is a very slow read.
Summary of The Hunt for Red October (Jack Ryan)
Gripping military thriller about the chase after a top-secret Russian missile submarine.Somewhere under the Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision: the Red October is heading west. The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. And the most incredible chase in history is on....
The Hunt for Red October is the runaway bestseller that launched Tom Clancy's phenomenal career. A military thriller so accurate and convincing that the author was rumored to have been debriefed by the White House. Its theme: the greatest espionage coup in history. Its story: the chase for a runaway top secret Russian missile sub.
