I'd like to start out by stating I am a hardcore Tom Clancy fan. I've read all of his books many times (in fact I had to buy a 2nd copy of Red Storm Rising) and read the Net Force series. I picked up Splinter Cell looking forward to tales of Sam Fisher but as soon as I started reading I noticed something odd. The author was writing in a first person view like none I've ever seen before. He uses the word I constantly. In one paragraph EVERY sentence started with I. I did this. I did that. It dosen't make for good reading at all. I skimmed ahead and it seemed like the author continued to overly use the letter "I" throughout the book so having spent $12 of my hard earned money I put the book down and never expect to pick it up again.
