Reseñas de la Crítica

"Flawless authenticity…frighteningly genuine." ( Wall Street Journal)

"Absolutely terrific: entertaining, suspenseful and masterfully written...superlative." ( Washington Times)

"The Pentagon almost exploded when this book was published." ( The Daily Telegraph)

Great story, great performance

The story is both very informative and thrilling, even though a bit unrealistic :). I like the performance, not least the Russian-English voices, which to my mind, having been a lot in Russia were very authentic.

Excellent

Great thriller. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. My first Jack Ryan book. Keen for my next.

Horrible narration

Good thing I had read the novel first, otherwise the robotic narration devoid of emotion would have never allowed me to finish this grand epic of a tale. Story 5 stars, narration 0, but alas the lowest rating is 1.

Still the best Tom Clancy

Tom Clancy was a product of the cold war and his books were best when it was still ongoing. Doing well to provide a rich background, a good story arch, and intersperse thrilling action into the story, The Hunt For Red October is perhaps his best.

The narrator was clear and easy to follow. They give the feeling for being new and budding in this field. Quality wavers, enough to be noticed, not enough to stop listening. Plain narration tends to get kind of stodgy while dialogue flows smoothly.

Great Story

The story waw great as all clancy novels are but the narration was appaulling. Thae narrator was unable to change his voice for the different characters and they all merge into one. It was difficult to listen to. They need to redo it with someone who can really narrate an audio book.

Excellent just excellent.

Excellent book.
I suggest this to everyone who is interested in good book.
There is nothing more to say.

Could listen again and again

Great listen. The world is poorer for losing a great writer too young. One of his best

a great classic

I've listened to it the second time and enjoyed it a lot.
What a world we've left behind.
Only a few decades ago...
So many people don't remember, but it's still alive in this book.
It's worth your money and time.

Gripping till the last minute

The storyline is captivating from the very beginning to the last minutes of the book. In the more intense moments of the book, the shifting of the point of view from one setting to the other adds suspense and makes it almost impossible to pause or walk away. I don’t know of any other book that captures submarine warfare with such detail and precision.

Terrible voice

Really difficult to listen to this guy... The story is really interesting and advancing. But impossible to listen to this voicr
