Book Reviews of Santa Fe Dead (Ed Eagle Novel)
Book Review: Readable, if moronic
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the first Stuart Woods book I've experienced. It features unlikeable characters in ridiculous situations. Most of the characters are millionaires, and a few are actual billionaires. Almost everyone has his own plane and flies from here to there like Captain Skyhawk.
Ed Eagle is the "hero" I guess - and apparently is the "star" of other Woods novels. He's an attorney who does pretty much nothing but talk on the phone and fly in his plane. The action is mostly addressed by a small army of local police and private detectives, many with similar names - it is very tricky to tell them apart. None of them fly their own planes, yet move from place to place as if they did. Also, this book has an astronomical body count, including one early on that has nothing to do with anything else in the book, and was probably supposed to be edited out.
In spite of the incredible silliness of this book, I plowed through it and more or less enjoyed it, like one would a bad 80's scifi flick. Dumb, but entertaining and unintentionally funny.
Book Review: Not a Clean Read
Summary: 1 Stars
A friend recommended this book to me... the first I've read by this author. I was looking for a good mystery. Unfortunately, this book does not work the brain at all. What a lazy, unimaginative writer, to take such a contrived plot, give the characters unlimited money to do whatever far-fetched thing you want, and throw in some sex scenes to interest the voyeurists... blah! Those of you who like this book must not realize that there are great writers out there with creative, imaginative stories to tell. No thank you, I will not be reading any of Stuart Woods' other books.Book Review: Dead predictable
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I really enjoyed this book it was very predictable. Mr. Woods is not short on interesting characters and lavish lifestyles however the plot could have used a dash more cornstarch to thicken it up. Since reading Palindrome a couple of years ago, I haven't found one of his other titles to be nearly as shocking. If you enjoy Stuart Woods and chocolate you will eat this book up as fast as a chocolate bar. SANTA FE DEAD... REGULAR PRINTBook Review: sant Fe Dea

Summary: 5 Stars
This is yet another great read from Woods. Like the others, it holds ones interest and the suspence on the next page is looming.
