Dead or Alive Audiobook

" A few twists, but pretty standard fair really. "

" It wasn't the best Clancy book I've ever read and I've read several. "

" A very typical Tom Clancy black ops read. It was a good book...well written. But the plot mirrored the genre story line without exception. Dead or Alive does not compare to the great Tom Clancy books such as Red Storm Rising or the Hunt for Red October. I would recommend if black ops thrillers is high on your genre list. If not, easy to take a pass on this one. "

" Listened to the audiobook from Audible. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. Then is started to drag and the ending was just a long boring torture-porn scene. I'm not sure if I'll read another Clancy book... I think the magic is gone. "

" Fun read, no real suspense though. Decent plot but mostly typical terrorist crap "

" Excellent. Stopped reading Clancy's books after Executive Order. I think having Grant Blackwood as co-author helped make this book more palatable, for me, at least. I will now go back and read the books I skipped over. "

" Just too much and too many...too many descriptions of minutia, too long, too many characters for what turns out to be a relatively simple terrorism plot. I usually love me some John Clark and Jack Ryan, but this book isn't their best adventure. "

" Fun read, but dampened by Clancy's right-wing politics and take-no-prisoners attitude. "

" A bit long at 950 pages but a good suspense page turner. "

" A favorite read. Characters are outstanding. "

" would love to see this follow into the movies as his others "

" I love Ding and Clark. It was fun to read some more of their story. The whole book was a little too sensational for my taste. All of the characters were involved in too many pieces of this puzzle. "

" Excellent. Typical Tom Clancy and I enjoyed it just as much as the rest. I've missed reading about the characters that have been a part of the Jack Ryan series all these years and I loved that he got them all together in this book. I hope there will be more to come. "

" I can only hope the attacks made against the US in this book stay fictional. Tom Clancy has a way of seeing areas of American society that its citizens see as strengths and its enemies see as weaknesses. "

" Good plot, good characters, Jr comes of age. A bit over done on the political commentary. "

" Ok as a book on tape- it took a while to get into it- and it was a bit forced. "

" Awesome story. Passed paced as always with Tom Clancy. Jack Ryan back but Jack Jr. is in the for front. If you like Tom Clancy you will enjoy this one. "

" The best Clancy book I have read in some time -- of course, this is the first of Clancy we have seen in years. "

" It's actually a fun book I've been a Clancys fan for a long time and I did enjoy this "

" A great Clancy commentary on the leaders of our day if you ask me... "

" Typical Clancy, which is not a bad thing. Does suffer a bit of the 24 syndrome in timing. "

" good to read something with such a different point of view from my own. "

" I said after Teeth of the Tiger that I'd wait to hear how the next Clancy was before reading another. This one was okay, but it wasn't much more than that. Clancy hasn't really sold me on the next generation of his characters yet, but the book did move. "

" Disappointing but it wasn't really written by Clancy anyhow was it? "

" Nice read after long absence. Not as good as his earlier works. Not sure Junior can fill Jack, Sr.'s shoes. "

" this was the first tom clancy book i have read. i enjoyed it, but it was long.i finished this the week before osama bin laden was killed. kinda eeiry. "

" An enjoyable book with a good storyline, but not on par with his earlier works. I'd rate those as 5 stars. "

" My dear husband read this and said it was the best one yet! Since I haven't read it, I gave it a 4 for margin of error. :) "

" Clancy returns to full form with this 950 page spy thriller. The book is something of a setup for future books but all of the important players from Clancy's previous thrillers are now working to combat terrorism outside of government restraints. I'll take more like this all day long. "

" Unfortunately I went into this book thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it as much as older Clancy books and I was correct. It seemed too busy, since it was trying to incorporate everyone into the book. Maybe because it has been so long since the last one, I lost interest, butt Issas just so-so for me. "

" For a 900+ page book this was a quick read. Whereas T.C. wrote "The Hunt For Red Oct.", this could be called the hunt for Bin Laden. I won't give the ending away, but you will enjoy the plot and its conclusion. If you don't you can always use the book as a booster chair. "

" I didn't read "Teeth of the Tiger", so I first met the young Jack Ryan here. I missed Jack Sr, wish he could have been more prominent. The book was good, it had all of the Clancy elements. Given the news that's come out tonight, there's no small irony. "

" Ugh. Too long with too many story lines to make the end worth it. Wait for the movie. "

" Not that memorable. I find myself thinking back about the book and can't remember much about it. "

" an entertaining and fun read. I love how Clancy has so many situations close to current events. I also love how the good guys win, usually. It has been a while since I have read a Clancy novel and it took me a bit to remember who was who from older novels. "

" If you are a Tom Cllancy fan, then you'll like this book. Seemed to be pure Tom Clancy to me. "

" Too: complicated, many story lines, many characters, many difficult names, hard to believe. looooooong.okay, but far from his best work "
