How did you guess that I am a tom Clancy
fan?
If you look at my Tom Clancy bookshelf, you could believe so.
Although I must say I enjoy Tom Clancy's books, he irks me no end with
some of his generalisations. We may not always see eye to eye on politics and his opinion
of Europe - but he certainly has tons of talent and writes some great books.
I just wonder sometimes - how many books a year can a good author produce?
Clancy is a one-man factory - or is it a factory?
However implausible some of his plots or situations (such as in Balance of
Power, in which Spain is torn by civil war), sometimes I have a double-take, when reading
the news: did it actually happen, or did I just read it in a book? It was fiction, but
extraordinarily well researched and written with talent. |
