1,000 pages? After I read 500 of them, I checked out the customer reviews and found that all but the most die-hard and blindly loyal Clancy fans pretty much panned the book. How I wish I had read them before I burdened the poor UPS man with delivering these pounds of pages.Clancy was never a creative, subtle novelist. He's a storyteller, and he has a history of being a good one. But my head is sore from his hitting me over the head with each of his beliefs, one or two of which I actually agree with (Well, one).If you want this book, don't buy it. You can have mine (only slightly used).
