&lt;p&gt;Finished reading: &lt;a href=&#34;https://micro.blog/books/9780440001034&#34;&gt;Patriot Games (Movie Tie-In)&lt;/a&gt; by Tom Clancy 📚&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the second &lt;em&gt;Jack Ryan&lt;/em&gt; book that I&amp;rsquo;ve read (or listened to). The first was &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Hunt for the Red October&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;. I really liked that book. It kept my attention nearly the whole time. &lt;em&gt;Patriot Games&lt;/em&gt; did not. It wasn&amp;rsquo;t a bad book, I just had a harder time getting into it like the first one. I was also a little disappointed in the ending.&lt;/p&gt;

Finished reading: [Patriot Games (Movie Tie-In)](https://micro.blog/books/9780440001034) by Tom Clancy 📚

This is the second *Jack Ryan* book that I&#39;ve read (or listened to). The first was *&#34;The Hunt for the Red October&#34;*. I really liked that book. It kept my attention nearly the whole time. *Patriot Games* did not. It wasn&#39;t a bad book, I just had a harder time getting into it like the first one. I was also a little disappointed in the ending.
