Clancy must have put countless hours in to his research and his passion for naval history clearly shows. That said, I felt that as a casual reader this got in the way of the story at times. The premise is really good and there parts of the book that are genuinely exciting. My final impression is that the story could have been a gripping page turner if it were less technical and a little shorter. As it was, I felt the book outstayed it's welcome somewhat and I was a little relieved when it ended. Also, the 'cold war' pro-America propaganda gets a bit cringey at times, particularly when the Russians seem comically baffled anytime Americans try to describe what freedom is. ### ⭐⭐ Starts well but too technically heavy *by R***9 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2020* As a fan of the film and other submarine stories such as Ice Station Zebra, I was looking forward to reading this and was pleased that it had a gripping start. The opening is well researched and even for those like myself who don't have a great deal of knowledge of the time it was written in and the Soviet Empire, enough detailed is provided.Unfortunately after a few chapters, the detail becomes too heavy and I found the over description of the sonar equipment off putting. I tried in vain to pick this up several times but found that I couldn't finish it. A bit disappointing but if you prefer a great level of detail I would recommend this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant, if a little long *by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2015* I have just spent the last four hours finishing this book. It's now 4 am and a good job I'm retired!When I say this book is a little long, I don't mean to deprecate it in any way, it is merely that, although I can see the necessity of the political background and descriptive narrative regarding boats, ships, submarines and aircraft, as a "girlie", I found myself tuning out in some of the above and therefore having to reread, to make sure I'd missed nothing important, which of course I hadn't. The basic story, of course, is laid before us quite reasonably in the film, and although I found it considerably helpful that I had seen it, more than once, and knew where it was going, I found the book much more exciting, particularly the last third, hence the four hours staying awake to finish it. It has, of,course, a fatal flaw, ignored by everyone, including me when watching the film; Ramius is a murderer. He kills in cold blood in the first chapter and yet we treat him as a hero, because he defects to the west with a valuable prize for the Americans. Should he not have been tried for his crime? I suppose one assumes he failed to pass this information on to the Americans but nevertheless, we know. Still, I would highly recommend this book as a well constructed adventure story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/50201516-the-hunt-for-red-october-paperback-2-feb-1998](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/50201516-the-hunt-for-red-october-paperback-2-feb-1998) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
