hello all
I just got through reading the second book in the Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Video game to book series and let me say it was not what i was expecting. while i am not disappointed in the book, it could have been better in alot of ways. Lets talk about what is wrong with this book so far.
First off the characters while authentic military wise are not really all that believable as people, while some are most are not especially those who came over from the first book. Many of the returning characters from that book have changed dramatically, a little to much for my taste. Secondly the author is very much a cynic about the war in Afghanistan, while that is his opinion to have, it bleeds through to the pages and makes you a cynic as well. Third off some of the actions of the characters do not make any sense, and there were times i was asking myself why would they do that, how could that happen. finally the ending leave a lot to be desired.
what is right about this book is this first off the battle scenes are done good, you get the feel taste smell of every shot, explosion, fight and search. Secondly there is a lot of intrigue in this book, and the ghost have to navigate a maze and if this your thing thing you will like it. Finally, the weapons, characters and vehicles are all loyal to the video game material from which it is based on.
In closing this is a ok book if there is nothing else to read or you are waiting for a plane or bus but if you are not a fan of this book dont read it.
5 out of 10 stars
