I've always wanted to get a hold of some Tom Clancy books ever since I first played a game based on his stuff way over 5 or 6 years ago now and have just forgotten every time I went to the bookstore.

Longest book I've ever read was "It"

How many pages is "It" ?

 

[Malice]

how would you rate each of the books?

 

[Malice]

I read all the Ryan books...plus the World War III book by him called Red Storm Rising.

They are all really great books.
All those books are on my website
http://www.digitalentropy.net/bb/index.php/board,20.0.html

But alas, I have not rated them yet.
I would imagine, they are all at LEAST on the 7 out of 10 range...if not more.

Granted Tom Clancy is a very wordy guy. Hence the size of this books.

is Red Strom Rising a different book from the Ryan series or is it part of that?


what do you guys think of James Patterson?

 

[Carter]

James Patterson is awesome
I read all his stuff

But it goes by way too fast

Correct, Red Storm Rising is a Separate book unto itself. It has no connection to the "Ryanverse"

Good World War III book

 

[Sava]
