Book Reviews of Beverly Hills Dead (Rick Barron Novel)
Book Review: Rock bottom
Summary: 1 Stars
Stuart Woods has been my summer entertainment for a number of years during which I have seen the quality of his books go down, down and down. This book was rock bottom. The Stone Barrington cookie cutter stories are at least entertaining but this book never started. I was down to the last three chapters still wondering when something would happen. Finally, when there was some action, it was like something attached just to make the book end. The ending came out of nowhere with no hints, no red herrings, nothing.
I could have handled there being no real mystery plot if the story of the McCarty era had been fleshed out so I learned something new but even that was just glossed over. I found myself, for the first time, skimming pages that repeated the same informtion several times and bored with the repetive and dull diaglogue such as "sure will" that appeared many times per page.
I will try again with Stuart Woods and hope for better. I recently read Santa Fe Dead and enjoyed it very much. I'm sure the talent is there but the contract for yearly books must be a burden.
