Sum Of All Fears Movie Tie In

A very good book! Will definitely test your reading abilities, if ya know what I mean :) The ending is a bit too short for such a complex plot, but that is the way the author wanted it to be i guess. Excelent detailing and characterization. Reading this book would make one feel that Dan Brown is a children's story writer (no offence to Dan Brown's fans. Peace among all!) Superbly...more

Excelent detailing and characterization. Reading this book would make one feel that Dan Brown is a children's story writer (no offence to Dan Brown's fans. Peace among all!) Superbly entertaining and guaranteed to keep you glued till the end. A friendly warning: Reading this in the very early stages of one's reading career (if I may) might be a mistake. Happy reading!   hide

The only downside to this book is that my copy has Ben Affleck dumb mug on it.

The only downside to this book is that my copy has Ben Affleck dumb mug on it. Otherwise, an amazing main storyline with interesting side stories (ie: The trees headed for Japan, the sub commanders, etc.) Agreeing with pretty much everyone else, the book is much better than the movie, because the producers were too scared to tell the actual story for fear of offending the Islamic community. Which got rid of some of the best characters. Great book, mediocre movie. Don't miss this book. But try to get one of the covers without Ben Affleck on it.   hide

I read this book as a Sophmore in High School. Several years down the line, when I'd heard they were making a movie, I had no idea how they would pull it off. However, the book and the movie are completely separate entities. Don't make the mistake of assuming there's any real overlap. In my opinion, this is Tom Clancy's most fiction-reader friendly sort of novel, but that doesn't say much!

I was just fascinated by this book. It's so hard to stop reading... Clancy's world is just amazingly detailed and scarily accurate. The best part is the really, really intricate explanations of how they make the bomb. Wow.... so cool, and so scary.
