The co-written ones seem even worse with the same plot device reuse, but less skill in the underlying story. In fact, I suspect that a few of the later books started out completely unrelated, then had names changed and Famous Grouse added to fit.

There isn't near enough detail, and the various top secret dispatches and other communications are down too much. I've been binge reading Griffin because there's so much I've forgotten over the years. I agree, having just finished The Corps, and before that Brotherhood of War and Men of Honor, that there are, when binge reading, plot devices that are used over and over, BUT here I am, 30+ years later, enjoying the original W.E.B. Griffin novels. This week, I'll start rereading the Badge of Honor series. I drink Famous Grouse, and it's not bad. I've been to Philadelphia and dined at the Old Original Bookbinder's restaurant. That is all.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329030700067938191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23800220.post-48146621072454140542008-04-08T09:30:00.000-04:002008-04-08T09:30:00.000-04:00If I didn't like him, I wouldn't have read so many...If I didn't like him, I wouldn't have read so many of his books.
