Against All Enemies (Abridged) Audiobook

" OK problem is that Clancy is not writing all the stuff- and it shows. Tom start writing your books by yourself. "

" Lot's of detail. If you want to know the specifics of every weapon in the arsenal give it a read. "

" Great story but sometimes distracting writing style. The sometimes lengthy flashbacks at the beginning were somewhat annoying. I agree with another review that the author used the term "in a heartbeat" way too often which made me nitpick another term used "boomerang" for describing outward explosions with flying debris twice. Boomerangs fly out and back. Really liked the story and the main character. I hope we see more of him in the future. "

" I haven't read a Tom Clancy book in a long while, and I think that the book that I read was Patriot Games. I thought that Against All Enemies was an OK book--one with definite Tom Clancy tinges, but one that didn't impress me hugely. I can't really put a finger on why I wasn't impressed as mucjh--Against All Enemies would make for a good movie--but this didn't keep me readinga s much as some of his earlier works. The book left an opening to persue Max Moore in future books and I would read them, but I'm considering reading some more of his earlier works such as the Jack Ryan books to see if the 3 star rating I gave this book is really merrited or if it was because I usually don't read these types of books. "

" This book bored me to death - it really wasn't worth the effort of trying to read it. I'll admit that was partly my fault - I was expecting a Jack Ryan Jr. book, and this wasn't it. On the other hand, the last few of Clancy;s books have been somewhere between weak and bad, so I am not as surprised by this as I might have been a few years ago. Not worth the effort. "

" Tom Clancy has moved to my "recreational reading" bookshelf, but for that purpose, this book sufficed and as a work of fiction, posed plausible futures for the intersection of terrorism and the drug trafficking. Tom Clancy also posed plausible outcomes for his main characters as many of the 'good guys' around him were offed and some of the 'bad guys' weaseled out of consequences. "

" It's just never the same once great writers start letting co-authors be involved. "

" Good new main character. I felt the book dragged at times, or maybe meandered, yeah, that's a better term. All in all, better than some of Tom Clancy's other books, but not up there with The Hunt for Red October or Patriot Games for me. "

" I loved this book. Great action! The story was good. I didn't find it crazy predictable. It took me awhile to read, and there were a ton of characters so it was a little hard to keep track at first, but I would highly recommend this book - No surprise, Tom Clancy is fabulous! "

" Very obvious that Clancy didn't write this by himself. It was entertaining, but did not have the storyline or strategy I enjoy from his books so much. Hopefully he is more involved in writing future books. "

" Definitely full of action. As my husband questioned - was there any action in the first 200 pages -- and the answer was YES!!! There was not TOO many characters causing much confusion - although there were a lot, I was able to keep them sorted. Long book. but worth the effort! "

" All I can say about this book is Brilliant...... "

" Just finished reading this book while on vacation. Have read all of TC's other books and enjoyed this one as well. "

" I always find Tom Clancy books both interesting and enlightening. You can tell he does his research and in this instance the facts about the CIA, border patrol operations, and Navy SEAL training were outstanding. I hope they make this book into a movie! "

" It was very good (not his best) and I thought the ending should have been done better "

" It nice to see Clancy create completely new characters. This one starts a bit slower than his others (probably because you have to get to know his new characters) but it's still fantastic. "

" Why You Read Tom Clancy....Suspense, Intrigue, great characters, thrilling ride ...Maxwell Moore a new HERO for today's times .... "

" Typical Clancy book. Easy read - good for airplanes or vegging on the cruise ship. "

" Good story idea, fair character development, not-so-Clancyish writing style. "

" A very engagingly written Navy Seals adventure as only Tom Clancy can do it. "

" Not bad! I like this new character Max Moore. I really like the little twist at the end....could Moore be joining the team of the Campus? I guess we'll find out, new book "Search and Rescue" will be out soon, can't wait. "

" Received this as a present and having read many Clancy books I enjoyed this read too. "

" Very good thriller from Tom Clancy. Great characters and exciting plot lines. "

" Boring. No more Tom Clancy for me. "

" So uninteresting and so completely unClancy that I will never finish reading it. The characters were superficial, too much explanation and rehashing of prior explanation. Don't explain motivation to me, show me what happens and allow me to determine on my own what motivates your characters! "

" Soso. It had some plot issues that bugged me, but overall a good book. "

" Though the theme(Pakistani terrorism and Mexican drug cartels) is a bit hackneyed, the plot of a solo avenger is almost believable. A good read though not the usual top class of Tom Clancy. Still, worth a read for once. "

" Not a bad read. Definitely, sets Max Moore up for more stories at some point in the future. "

" lots of action and suspense. i hope none of this happens in our nation. but--------it good to know will have seals "

" Lots of action from beginning to end. Not bogged down in nearly as much drudgery as many of his other books. In my opinion, his best in a long time. "

" Tom Clancy needs to have an editor. This book doesn't need to be nearly 800 pages long. Too much detail. Not bad, but I think I will have to check it out again to finish it. "

" I've read tom clancy, and this is not he. More gently said this is not one of his classics. I hung on till the end but didn't enjoy it at all. "
