Book Reviews of Fresh Disasters (Stone Barrington)
Book Review: Reminds me of an old 1940's mystery writer with voluptous women and lots of sex!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Stuart Woods has gotten progressively redundant with Stone Barrington's sexual escapades in his books. Although I don't mind a little sex in them, too much is very distracting from the mystery. Maybe, he should start writing Harlequin romances!! I doubt that I will read any more of the Barrington books even though they used to be my favorites. It's just a little too trashy for my taste. Guess I will stick with Follett or DeMille for real excitement.Book Review: Creativity wearing thin.
Summary: 3 Stars
The Margin
Woods gets slammed by critics in Fresh Disasters. I've said it before--reads like he's being pressured by the publisher to get another one out regardless of the quality.
I don't dismiss it categorically, as some reviewer's have, it has some redeaming points. It has a few nice twists and turns, in places it's funny and it is easy to read.

Book Review: Love this Author
Summary: 5 Stars
A perfect cold winter day is to curl up with one of your favorite authors. Stuart Woods fits the bill. His characters are fun, his mysteries grab you. The Stone Barrington novels are my favorites. Stone and Dino have a sense of humor to go along with solving the crimes and getting themselves out of trouble. I look forward to more of his books.

Book Review: Keep It To Yourself
Summary: 1 Stars
I have enjoyed several of Mr. Woods books and especially enjoy the Stone Barrington series. On page four of this book the Dino character fires a cheap shot at President Bush. I say put a sock in it! P.S. One star is my rating of the cheap shot...I'll keep reading this book but may not buy any others. I've done that with other authors.Book Review: Popcorn
Summary: 4 Stars
Like a big bowl of popcorn, this installment of the adventures of Stone Barrington delivers a lot of fun without much real substance. Since I don't read mysteries for substance it delivers exactly what I wanted. A fun fast paced read, with some of my favorite characters. All in all a good time.
