Anyway's, the e-mail came in saying the libraries holding it. I used to love Tom Clancey novels, but re-reading them too many times has them loose their appeal.

Can't go wrong with Stephen King. I've read EVERYTHING he's ever written, and I loved every single book. He's both the most prolific AND prodigious writer of ALL TIME.

did he move to Jr. because his ex-wife that he screwed around on owns Sr?

I haven't read Red rabbit nor this new one, not sure I will. After that net-force, op-center, whore out my name for another author, I've soured. And I like action, not some right wing political intrigue book.

Give me RSR anyday. It might be a bit outdated now, but its far better than the last few I read.

Why, Mr. Rabbit!

Will you people just stop complaining about God Emperor of Dune? It wasn't that bad of a book!

Really!



[/inside joke]

[st_swithin]

YES, GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE REALLY WAS THAT BAD.

[JohnT]

No, It Wasn't

I don't believe your stick is as big as my stick. Do you want to put that theory to the test?

Red Rabbit had (a younger) Jack Sr. They reason why he moved away is he's pretty much done all he can do with the Charecter (The guy's President for Jeez's sake)

I've finally finished reading it. My question is HOW DID HE PERSUADE SO MANY PEOPLE TO BUY HALF A BOOK??

"Teeth of the Tiger" contains half of what all the other books contain. There is no magestic ending, Jack Sr. doesn't meet Jack Jr., etc. And I hate the fact that he tries to make up for it by saying EVERY FRICKIN' MANTRA TWICE! . If you haven't bought it yet, don't. Waste of perfectly good money.

Ok everyone, time to show your sticks so we can see who has the biggest one. Excuse me while I whip this out.


I used to like Clancy novels, but the whole Ryan mythology soon wore out its welcome.

Well, did you look at the thing before you bought it? It comes in easily at 1/2 the size of the standard Clancy tomes (a trend that started with the previous book), and doesn't compensate by making the fonts and margins smaller - imho, I think that Clancy uses the largest fonts and margins of any mainstream writer. It is because this book is so small that I won't shell out $20 for it.
