thribble

I finally finished The Bear and The Dragon yesterday. Awful. Terrible. Appalling. Full of self gratifying knowledge sharing. I resolved after reading Executive Orders and was suckered in by a reduced cover price. Oh, how I regret that now. I have to read a book right to the end, however bad it is, so I suffered all 1137 pages of this. And it got interesting around page 700. Read his earlier books (Red October, Cardinal of the Kremlin etc), just don't touch anything after about 1995.
