Patriot Games by Tom Clancy

The last book that I read is Patriot Games by Tom Clancy. This book is about an American, Jack Ryan, who travels to England and ends up saving the Prince and Princess of Wales from a terrorist attack by an Irish terrorist group. After this, he gets caught up in the affairs of the terrorist group, and he and his family are attacked.
I found this book very interesting. The plot was very fast-moving and it had a lot of action. It also was very interesting to see how Jack reacted during certain situations. Overall, this book was a lot of fun to read.

Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King

The book that I read is called Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. This is a fantasy story. The story is told from the perspective of a narerator. In the book, there is a wizard named Flagg. Flagg tries to gain power in the kingdom of Delain. In order to do so, he has the Queen murdered, the King poisoned, and the oldest son framed for poisoning the king. The younger son, Thomas, then becomes king. However, he saw Flagg poisoning the King by watching through the eyes of a dragon statue. Eventually, Peter, the older son, escapes from prison, and tries to kill Flagg with the help of Thomas, who admitted that he saw Flagg poison the king. Flagg then escapes, and at the end of the story, Thomas and a few others find Flagg but the outcome is not told.
I found this book very boring. The plot was very slow and very predictable. The characters also seemed very boring and not well-developed. Overall, I was not happy with this book.
