Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor Audiobook (Unabridged)

" great movie book, better than the movie and they both are great. reading this book before hand which everyone does did not ruin it for me. "

" Really enjoyed this book - don't know how much of it is true, but fascinating to think of those who are putting their lives on the line like this. "

" I'm not a Tom Clancy fan. I read the book as a favor and forced myself to finish it. I don't think Clancey wrote this book. Didn't flow and very broken up in story line. Used expression I did not understand and I didn't bother to look up. "Seal", "macho" book that doesn't interest me. "

" ok, but poor ending. does not end well "

" This was an entertaining, if somewhat formulaic read. It was educational as well, in so far as the authors built the story such that just about every SEAL mission and every means of insertion was covered. Made for a good airplane read. "

" Book was good enough but seemed to finish fast as if the author was on a deadline. I would recommend this book. "

" This is a really cool story. I did not understand a lot of the military terms, but that is part of what made it seem so real. It paints a great picture of what this war is like and the character of Seals. It was a great read. "

" It was a good read. It was also very military correct as well. "

" Good book ....great characters. The downfall was you saw the ending coming at the beginning of the book. "

" it's a volatile world, live life full, no greater love. "

" Overall, worth the read. There are lots of military terms that could get confusing if you don't already have some understanding. It gives an interesting look inside the reality of being in the SEALS without over-romanticizing. I hope the movie stays true to the book. "

" I picked this book up on whim, and I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. I'm a little disappointed in it as it was nothing more than a bunch of Navy SEAL bravado mixed in with some technical terms. "

" I didn't like this book/movie "

" Very much like the movie... first time in a long time that I read a book after the movie... in this case I'm pretty sure the book was developed from the screenplay. All in all, not bad, but not the top of the genre either. "

" A bit drawn out of a book. But a good read. Makes you think about all the stuff that the government does that the public never learns about. "

" I liked this book because the action sequences were well thought-out. Also, the plot was interesting. Overall, 4/5 "

" The movie was better. It's a novelization of a highly visual and highly aural movie that you cannot do justice in written form. Though well written, I prefer the movie to the book in this rare instance. "

" If you liked the movie you would like the book "

" Was an excellent work but not his best. Great read though! "

" If you've seen the movie, there is no need to read the book. It brings little additional information or emotion than the movie portrays. I stopped reading after 30 pages because it was just too familiar. "

" This was an awesome book! "

" I loved this book. Real SEAL stories and real people. Dick Couch is the author and he did an outstanding job describing the details and what the SEALS go thru in the field and at home. I will probably re-read this story every few years. "
