After reading and enjoying all of Clancy's novels and most of his non-fiction series, I viewed the lackluster "Red Rabbit" as an anomoly. Unfortunately I was wrong, "The Teeth of the Tiger" is just as bad.Previously I would read his work well into the night and devour the book quickly. With "The Teeth of The Tiger" I spent more than a week just on the first half. I found myself glancing at the book on my nightstand and reaching for the TV remote. When I did read it was just a chapter at a time.The characters are like cardboard and young Jack Ryan Jr. lacks any of the pizazz the his fathers character had. The antagonists were paper cutouts and lacked any depth. I get more character development out of a Time Magazine article on suicide bombers in Tel Aviv.I've always liked the action/adventure genre but the authors tend to have a definate lifespan. I believe Clancy has reached the end of his.Too Bad.
