I really enjoyed this book. The story takes off when Jack Ryan becomes president after a terrorist attack. My only complaint is that *Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel)* by Tom Clancy was very long. I think it could have been cut down by several hundred pages...maybe even 600 or so. If you're looking for thrilling political fiction, this might be for you, just be prepared for a lengthy read!

Picking up directly where the last novel concluded, it's almost essential to read the preceding book before diving into *Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel)*. Following the catastrophic events that have befallen the nation, Jack Ryan now finds himself as President. The central question is: Is he truly prepared? Both domestic figures and international leaders are scrutinizing his leadership, testing his mettle at every turn. Clocking in at over thirteen hundred pages, this installment is undeniab...

I just couldn't finish this book. After 12 hours of the audiobook, I had to stop. I guess I'm just not a fan of Tom Clancy's writing style. You get clunky lines like, "he loaded the papers into his briefcase, most of them were useless," and then there's a 13-minute rant about what Secret Service agents are thinking. I'm betting you could cut out 30% of Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel) and still get the same story across. If you're looking for fast-paced thriller book reviews, this ain't it.

Tom Clancy clearly believes in a flat tax, military expansion, a strict interpretation of the Constitution by judges, limited government, and reigning in a destructive liberal media. How do I know this? Clancy dedicates entire sections to tedious political arguments, doing his best Ayn Rand impression. What a slog! Oh, and this over-one-thousand-page book features a ridiculous number of characters and enough plotlines to make Godzilla tap out. We've got an attempted kidnapping of his daughter, ...

This book, "Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel)" by Tom Clancy, clocks in at a hefty 1358 pages – but it never felt slow, and I was completely enthralled from beginning to end. It's a real page-turner!While some of Clancy's detailed military strategy segments went a little over my head at times, they were well-balanced with enough other gripping action to maintain a compelling pace. He's a master of suspense.One striking thing I noticed about "Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel)" is that, even tho...

This book, Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel), is the pinnacle of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. We finally see Jack Ryan, reluctantly and tragically, become President of the United States. He hates it, and sees it as a curse. The thing is, he's good at it. The very fact that he doesn't want to be there makes him all the more appealing to the voters in the book and to us, the readers. Of course, his reluctance is seen as weakness by other world leaders, and some try to take advantage. Big mistak...

With **Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel)**, Jack Ryan and Tom Clancy might have reached the peak of their storytelling. That being said, definitely don't jump into the series here. At the very least, you need to read *The Hunt for Red October*, *Patriot Games*, and *Debt of Honor* first.Thanks to the events in *Debt of Honor*, Jack suddenly finds himself President of the United States, a role he never wanted and feels totally out of place in. But, being the good former Marine he is, he quickly ...

Reading Tom Clancy's *Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel)* was definitely an exercise in stepping way outside my comfort zone. Why? Well, for starters, it's not really aimed at me; I'm a woman, and I'm not American. I knew what I was getting into – it's a thriller by a mega-bestselling author who specializes in a particular brand of macho, flag-waving, Budweiser-swilling, big-dick, patriotic, all-action Americana. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, of course, if the writing's good, and I...

1358 pages, yes, 1358 pages of Tom Clancy and now, finally, the nightmare is over!! This book took me a year to read, not because it's long, but because it's incredibly boring for looooong stretches. I would set it aside for months at a time. The beginning was good, and the ending (the last 300 pages) was gripping, but to get there you have to wade through a thousand pages of the main character, Jack Ryan, now president, whining and complaining about being president and the political process. (...

This book is a serious contender for the worst book I have ever read that wasn't written by Dean Koontz. It's an excruciating, almost 1400 pages of awful dialogue, a shocking misunderstanding of politics, simplification of international affairs, right-wing propaganda, and the utter ruination of a once enjoyable, if kind of silly, character – Jack Ryan. Maybe back in 1996, some people could be fooled by Tom Clancy's ideas in Executive Orders (Jack Ryan Novel), but after the disastrous presidency...
