The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy

4.0

My mother recommended this book to me the summer before I began college. I enjoyed it at the time. It was fast paced, suspenseful and well written. I found the main character engaging and human and because it was a good read, my mother and I continued passing subsequent Clancy novels back and forth, although with each novel he became more and more long winded. After Executive Orders, I stopped reading his material all together.
