Flaws of Great Writers

[milo]

I think Tom Clancy does the worst character development of any writer I have read. First, he spends page after page /telling/ me what type of person his character is. Second, his characters are always loaded with unbelievable traits. Finally, after explainging every possible nuance of his character, they always act out of character. WTF?

But do you like his work otherwise?

Not really, but I know he is pretty popular.
