Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: A friend of mine gave this to me, and being the print addict that I am, I read it. Interesting storyline, but Woods doesn't go very deeply into character development, except for when it's time to cook something. A pleasant beach read, but that's about it.
Rating: Summary: Thoroughly Enjoyable Review: By accident, I read this book after its counterpart ("Swimming to Catalina") which was supposed to be the second one. Reading them in reverse order actually made this one more enjoyable for me. They are both excellent reads...real page turners...and highly recommended by this reader.
Rating: Summary: fast pace GREAT BOOK! Review: It was a great and exciteing book and i look forward to reading all of his 18 books
Rating: Summary: GREAT BEACH READING Review: So it wasn't War and Peace but it was a Stone Barrington sequel and I love his charachters and the characters he finds and socializes with. The ending was not a complete surprise, however Mr.Woods drew it out instead of just figuring it out and ending it there. I will now read Swimming to Catalina.
Rating: Summary: Stuart Woods brilliant as usual Review: Stuart Woods reunites us with Stone Barrington. Okay, so the guy is a cad, but he is fun to be with. And he cheats on his girlfriend. He knows it is wrong, but where is this supposed love of his life? Rushing to meet him on this romantic holiday? NO! He might as well enjoy it as he intended. I find Stuart Woods extremely entertaining and an easy read. He gets to the point and you dont want to put the book down nor skip paragraphs of techno-babble. I wait with baited breath to read "Swimming to Catalina."
Rating: Summary: By the end I realized that I really enjoyed the story Review: This is my first Stuart Woods book I have read. I was a little put off at the relationship between Stone and Allision. I found it to be unrealistic. Because of this relationship I was convinced in her guilt. I found that there were moments in the when I was in total shock. I will definetly read another of his books. All in all, it was a thrilling story
Rating: Summary: WOW!!! Review: Great read!!!My first Stuart Woods book....not disappointed though. Good story line. Character development was outstanding. He did a marvelous job of explaining all the in's and out's of the legal system in another country. Outstanding. The ending was really a surprise. I didn't expect it!!! I'll read more Stuart Woods.
Rating: Summary: A Thriller! Stone Barrington has done it again! Review: Anyone who has read Stuart Woods before, such as NEW YORK DEAD, and SWIMING TO CATALINA, have experienced the life of Stone Barrington. DEAD IN THE WATER can be thought of as the next Stone Barrington case. Before i read another Stuart Woods book, i;m going to make sure there isn't any book with Stone Barrington in it that i haven't read yet. He is one of the most memorable characters you will ever read about.. if you know of any books with Stone Barrington in it, besides NEW YORK DEAD, AND SWIMMING TO CATALINA.... please email me at ChiBlauser@aol.com THANKS!
Rating: Summary: A disappointment. I won't read another Stuart Woods book. Review: This book was extremely disappointing. I had never read Stuart Woods before and don't expect to read him again. The characters were shallow, the plot unrealistic, and the writing sophomoric. The only redeeming value is that I could finish the book on one overseas trip (and leave it in the airport because I wouldn't want anyone else to PAY for reading this book).
Rating: Summary: Unbelieveably bad, unbelievable plot. Review: A friend at work recommended Stuart Woods and lent me this book. What a disappointment! The plot is so far fetched and riduculous, I lost interest midway through the book. The main character has no moral character and I wished I'd never met him. It's an insult to our society that even one copy of this book was sold.
