5.0 out of 5 stars Dead Eyes: A Dead Ringer for Best Thriller, October 9, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Dead Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was my first by Stuart Woods. The book is very... how can I put it... "disturbing" but it was great! The plot will surely frighten you and keep you hanging on the edge of your seat throughout the entire book. I couldn't put it down! The plot is so intricate and well-planned that you have to really pay attention to details to get a clue who the killer is. This book disturbed me so much that I was looking around corners at night time! I can easily say that it's the best suspense/thriller book that I've ever read. I've recommended it to many friends and they've all loved it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not So Good for Woods..., January 29, 2003

By 

Mandy Morreale - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dead Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)

I am so glad that this was not the first Stuart Woods book that I had read, because I probably would not have continued on. Stuart Woods is a superb writer, however, this book is not some of his finest work. The story is set around an actress who is about to make it big, her gay hairdresser, her stalker, and the police detective who is helping her with the stalker. All of the characters seem very flat and are never fully developed. I would have never guessed the ending to the book only because Woods never steered the story toward the ending that occurred. It was almost as if he thought to himself, I need an ending and he just shoved it in without making sure that it flowed or made any sense. Kind of a disappointment after reading the whole book. If this is your first time reading Woods, I would suggest one of his Stone Barrington series novels which starts with "New York Dead". One of the best in this series is "Worst Fears Realized" or "Swimming to Catalina." After reading some of his other books, you will realize that this one was just a miss for him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, but very curt ending, June 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dead Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed the book...quite the page turner, but I felt unsatisfied with the ending. There was zero explanation as to "why". It reminded me a bit of what Patricia Cornwell will do. It's as though she (and Woods) realizes that she needs to wrap up the story & does so quickly, without much explanation as to why the killer was who the killer was. I realize a lot of times there aren't reasons for killings, but in a book, for $..., there could be a reason or two explained! It was a good read, not as good as "The Run" (the first I read), but enough to have me reading more of his books.
