    <body><![CDATA[Clancy is terrible.  Even as a 15 year old kid I got bored with his standard outline after two books.  There's a plot against the ivory tower, the lab rat gets involved, here's what we're going to do:(whisper, whisper, whisper), the perfectly crafted plan unfolds.

    <body><![CDATA[Ok. This book has been on my &quot;currently reading&quot; shelf for 2 months, and here's why: I hate it. I tried really hard to like it, but I hate it. <em>Patriot Games</em> follows a consistent pattern of several action-heavy, exciting pages immediately preceding 4 or 5 chapters of thrilling... bureaucrac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57583192">more...</a>]]></body>
