Rating:  - No pot of gold at the end of this rainbow
I was disappointed in this book. It was too drawn out and too many subplots. Hard to keep all the characters in mind. Actually, if I hadn't read any of Vince Flynn's books, I might have been a little more excited about this book. I have read some other Clancy books and enjoyed them, but this one dragged on.
Rating: - Great Present
This gift hooked its' new owner the first time he read it. Adventure, well written espionage and keeping the attention are just some of his mentions. Obviously a plot and book to enjoy.
Rating:  - Boring
Extremely boring... The first Clancy book that was not a constant page turner for me. What happened Tom?
Rating:  - Repetitious, too long and meandering, and technically wrong
I usually enjoy reading Clancy's novels, but this must be his worst. I tried to finish the book, but it took me almost three months. The story is highly repetitious, with similar incidents throughout the first half of the book. The prose was too verbose. The book could have been half the length and would have been better. Worse yet, Clancy was offbase in his over-eagerness to introduce new technologies, and promoted the DKL Lifeguard (supposedly a human presence detector), which was proven in a later Department of Justice double-blind study to perform no better than random chance, and upon a physical engineering dissection by Sandia National Lab, found to contain a block of plastic with a human hair in it as the active sensing element! Shame to Mr. Clancy for falling for that. One would have thought that someone who had been exposed to so much hi-tech through all his research would have had better sense.
Rating:  - Rainbow Six: Clancy's Best Novel Yet!!! =)
This heart-pounding book is about a newly formed elite counter-terrorist group known as Rainbow Six. The organization is "blacker than black", as only a few select hundred in Washington, D.C. even know about the organization. John Clark leads Rainbow Six, and there are two teams of counter-terrorists, all hand-picked and trained. Suddenly, terrorists strike all over the world, from Bern, Switzerland to Worldpark, Spain. Rainbow swiftly responds to these attacks with devastating speed, neutralizing the enemy forces with astonishing skill and minimal casualties. But there is something behind the numerous terrorist attacks, as the Sydney Olympics approach, and the terrorists will unleash something deadly, capable of eliminating all of mankind to simply save the environment...
In this fast paced action novel, Clancy unweaves the mystery behind the motiveless terrorist attacks occurring in alarming frequency. The book is impossible to put down once you start reading, from the exciting introduction to the unexpected ending; all illustrated through lots of detail, making you want to read more.
