Just not for me. I don't think I care for the characters or the story enough to stick with it for 600+ pages. I got about 100 pages in and just wasn't very interested.

Lot of military lingo, it can be hard to follow at times. It was really good towards the end. There's a ton of characters, which can also make it hard to follow. A lot of the characters are minor characters and it's a little too much. Overall the ending was very exciting.

It's all 'bout this big ol' submarine, the Red October, that's like, super quiet. And the fella who's in charge, he's a Rusky, but he's tryin' to sneak off to 'Merica. Now, you got the good ol' U.S. of A. tryin' to find him, and the other Russkies tryin' to sink him. It's like a big game of hide-and-seek, but with torpedoes and all that fancy stuff.
My brain ain't built for all them big words and fancy talk, but even I could keep up with what was happenin'. The fella who wrote it, Tom Clancy, he knows his stuff 'bout submarines and shootin' and all that. It felt like I was right there in the sub, smellin' the stale air and hearin' the pings. Made my heart beat like a drum, it did!
There was a few times I had to re-read a sentence or two 'cause I done got lost, but mostly it was smooth sailin'. And the endin'? Man, oh man, I ain't gonna spoil it for ya, but let's just say it was excitin' as a hog wrasslin' contest.
So, if you like a good story 'bout boats and good guys and bad guys, and you don't mind a little bit of learnin' 'bout them war machines, you oughta give "The Hunt for Red October" a read. You won't be sorry.
Overall, I give this here book
