Unabridged Audiobook
It was, as someone else said, a bridge from the old to the new. The new direction requires you to suspend reality a little too much of my taste.
A bit of a disappointment coming off Tom Clancy's "The Bear and The Dragon", but I think this was more meant to be a bridge-book to a post 9/11 era. Just don't let me down again Tommy C!
Terrible book, got half way through the book reluctantly and still boring and drawn out. Too many names for characters, hard to keep up. Can’t put myself through the next 1/2. Not fussed on the narrator either, dull as the book.
Teeth of the Tiger by Tom Clancy has the honor of being the absolute worst audio book that I have ever listened to. I don’t think the story was especially bad but the author’s characters had names that seemed to shift during the telling. My issue was almost entirely with the narrator. Firstly, he told the story as though he was speaking to children and nothing unsettling was happening. Good grief, it’s a thriller and there were assassinations. The narrator’s tone and cadence was inappropriate for the subject. Secondly, there was no differentiation in voice for any of the characters making it very difficult to follow the story. I’ve always enjoyed the work of Tom Clancy and will consider purchasing a copy of Teeth of the Tiger in paper and give it another chance. I do not recommend this book in audio format. The narrator, Stephen Hoye, was awful.
I loved the story. The back story of Jack Ryan Jr was enthralling! I will be a critic and say the person who narrated the book did a terrible job. His voice was flat and benign. He put me to sleep every time I would start listening. I could never tell who was talking unless it said “said Jack”. There was no change in flexion, it was just monotone. There were some characters that were from other countries and he did try to reflect that, but it was with a bad accent. I am listening to the 2nd book and the man reading the book is doing a fantastic job!!!!
Very, very good listen! Enjoyed this book from start to finish. The story was brilliant with superb narration. My first Tom Clancy audiobook, but certainly not my last.
OK story but not great. I don't know why there's such a need for vulgarity. Evidently appeals to some audience, but not to me. Wish there was a rating on books like there is on movies. Then I wouldn't have to waste my time on such writing.
Disappointing, lot of 'rambling' and at times difficult to determine 'who' was being referred to, suppose when the bar has been set so high in quality of content disappointment becomes inevitable ..........
