Patriot Games (Jack Ryan, #1)
by Tom Clancy
by Tom Clancy
Dude books. I call them "palette cleansers" because sometimes I just get tired of reading about FEELINGS and EMOTIONS and THOUGHTS.
This book didn't have any of those other things.
It had intrigue, machismo, swearing, guns, and violence. Pretty much pg-13 level, nothing too too much.
But it also had bravery, mystery, and for reals: the main guy likes his wife and kid. And he doesn't cheat on her. Two thumbs up.
So, in all, a bit more insight than the movie version, but pretty much the gist of it.
And now my palette has been cleansed. On to girl books once more.
