Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-22 00:00:00 Kenneth Hardy More Dead than Red. It's as if Tom was on sedatives while writing the book. It's hard to exagerate just how dull and repetitive this work really is, but it's a bit like the being hit in the head over and over with a small wooden shovel. It leaves a dull impression on your mind.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-15 00:00:00 Matthew Doherty In college, Clancy lowered my GPA by almost a full point one year. It was the mid-90's, and I started reading him and got so addicted I would skip class, call out sick from work, order pizza, and read all day. I immediately snapped up new releases, like Debt of Honor and Rainbow Six and loved them. I even trudged through some of his non-fiction stuff. I read Red Storm Rising and Without Remorse twice. But somewhere around Bear and Dragon, Clancy turned blah. Red Rabbit is just lame. I literally threw it in the garbage partway through. I swear he got a ghost writer, and took the lowest bidder at that. I also think over the years Clancy must have both a.) developed a porn addiction, and b.) completely failed in his personal relationships with women, because for as well-researched and realistic his military action stuff is, his depictions of all love interests are horribly juvenile, and over the years they've gotten worse. They all go something like: "I saw her...stared at her anatomy and got aroused...then 5 minutes later we groped each other...now we're in a relationship, and that's how it all developed." Really Clancy? Obviously the man cannot relate to any real, positive-feeling, opposite-sex relationships. His character development got worse, his plots, predictable. Clancy...it was good while it lasted, man.
