AGAINST ALL ENEMIES
Written by: Tom Clancy
It’s hard to convey the mixed feelings I have about this book. First, I did enjoy the action and quick pace of the scenes. There isn’t a lot of what I call “flowery” prose. The guns are blazing and there is a bomb under the seat. Hold onto your hats because it’s a wild ride.
If you’re looking for a military novel with a lot of specific jargon and detail oriented prose, this is the book for you. It’s not only educational but it’s entertaining.
My main concerns with this book are that there were too many point of views. At times I found it difficult to keep up with all the characters and all of their motivations. Honestly, it may have been better served as two separate novels. Both plot lines are strong and would have worked as their own novels and it would have saved the book from being over seven hundred pages long. Besides, they didn’t overlap so much that they wouldn’t have worked on their own.
At the end of the day, I couldn’t bring myself to give this book anything more than a 7/10 rating. It’s too busy, too much is going on with too many characters and unnecessary side stories.
