Summary: This book sticks to your hands
Review: As a senior at Brookwood High School, we are assigned to choose books for outside reading. My favorite type of books tend to be fantasy because they are so diverse. Most thriller novels tend to have the same type of ending where the good guy gets the bad guy and then its over. I am writing this as an apology to Mr. Woods for making false accusations concerning his writings. He has an uncanny ability to hold on to the reader which seperates him from other "thriller novel" writers. In this book Mr. Woods develops the characters very well. You will feel very attached and a part of their lives. This book has a predictable outcome, but the way that it gets there is very interesting.

Summary: Daddy....
Review: Cat Catledge is just beginning to come to terms with the murders of his wife and daughter when the phone rings. One word - "Daddy"- and then the phone is hung up. That phone call leads Cat and the readers on a journey through Colombia as Cat tries to find and rescue his daughter, Jinx. Drug trafficers have fallen out of favor as the villians of choice in thriller fiction. This book, written in 1988, was written at the height of their popularity and is still a darn good read. Cat is a good hero - a rich computer printer inventor who has plenty of vulnerabilities (first and foremost his family). Woods provides an great group of friends to fill the gaps for Cat. I particularly liked Bluey, the renegade Australian pilot. Since Jinx was kidnapped by pirates off the Colombian coast, much of the book takes place in that country. Woods does a nice job of telling the reader about the various cities without falling into the traveloge trap. And, yes, the pages turn easily. A fun read for all (except, maybe, the fathers of beautiful eighteen year old daughters).

Summary: One of Woods Best!!!!
Review: Do you ever get sad when you finish a book? "White Cargo" was one of those books for me. So well-written, I got emotionally involved with the characters, yet this seemed like just another page-turning thriller. Well, it is, but Stuart Woods does such a good job at character development, he makes you feel like YOU'RE on the mission, along with Cat Catledge, searching for his family's killers. All in all one of Woods best tales.

A friend loaned me the book and I said it wasn't my kinda story, but he assured me I'd like it. Now I've found a new author, and I hope I like the rest of Woods' tales as much as I liked this one

Summary: Best Book Ever
Review: I chose this book as an outside reading project for my English class. This is the first book that I have read that i just could not put down. If you do not like slow reading books, then this one is for you my friend. As you read the book, you fell like you are a part of it. I felt like I was right there in the middle of all the action. I recommend this book to every one who likes a novel full of non-stoping action.

Summary: A real page turner! I couldn't put it down!
Review: I have read several of Woods' books, but this one is the BEST. From the first page to the last, you
just keep wanting more. I was stunned when the phone call came ! Cat is the kind of man every woman wants to marry and every man wants to be. I just wonder why haven't they made this into a movie??

Summary: Better than the last book of Wood's that I read....
Review: I just finished this book a couple of days ago, and I found it to keep me on my edge of my seat...I was dissapointed when I found out that one of the characters died so soon in the book. Wood's makes you care about the characters in this one...my heart went out to main character when he was trying to find his daughter, and his wife was killed at the opening. Good book..well developed, made me want to read another one of Mr. Wood's books!
