Review ebook The Teeth of the Tiger
WHOA this is a HORRIBLE book!!!! Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD book. Even for one like me, who generally enjoys this type of thriller. After a promising couple of chapters, suspiciously written not only better than the rest of the book, but also at a much faster pace, this thing slows down almost to a halt.
Without any doubt, Clancy sketched out the overall plot and delegated the whole chore to a ghost-writer. You can see that also from the way some comments and observations are repeated in different WHOA this is a HORRIBLE book!!!! Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD book. Even for one like me, who generally enjoys this type of thriller. After a promising couple of chapters, suspiciously written not only better than the rest of the book, but also at a much faster pace, this thing slows down almost to a halt.
Without any doubt, Clancy sketched out the overall plot and delegated the whole chore to a ghost-writer. You can see that also from the way some comments and observations are repeated in different chapters, used basically just as “fillers” to satisfy a writing contract. I find this so dishonest. At least other writers – like Clive Cussler – have given up pretending they do the writing, and they put “Clive Cussler and John the Ghost Writer” on the cover. (That way, you know upfront that the book is bad, and you don’t buy it : ) ).
In “the teeth of the tiger”, the writing is horrendous, but I was ready to forgive that in favor of a good plot. Well, there isn’t a plot. Two american brothers working for a secret para-gov organization, assassinate 4 terrorists in Europe, while light-heartedly enjoying the stupidest touristic stereotypes about each town they visit.
That. Is. It. Absolutely nothing else.
But the worst of the worst are the dialogues between the twin brothers. Old Grandad from the ’30s sense of humor.
Just a BAD book. Even if you like Clancy, stay away from this one. …more
