3.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put It Down, July 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dirt (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a HUGE Stuart Woods fan, and although some parts of this novel weren't exactly believable, it was still a great read. Some reviewers of this novel have been a bit too harsh. Whoever said that you need to believe everything that is written? Can't it just be an entertaining novel? From the start, this book grabs you with the gossip columnist being harrassed by an anonymous person, and I love cop-turned-lawyer Barrington who is brought back to solve the crime. He is the epitomy of the knight in shining armour, whom every woman longs for in her life!

1.0 out of 5 stars A real stinker, December 6, 1999

This review is from: Dirt (Mass Market Paperback)

Dirt, by Stuart Woods was a plethora of stink. This novel is quite possibly Woods' worst piece of literature ever. I, an avid Woods fan, was in the library one day and saw Dirt, a book that I had not read. I checked it out and anticipated a great piece of writing. Fifty pages into the book, I was, to say the least, extremely disappointed. Being the optimist that I am, I decided to give the book a chance, hoping it would get better. I was horribly mistaken. The further into the plot, the worse it got. Then, nearing the end, something miraculous occurred, I started to enjoy the book. I read faster and faster, enjoying every word. I turn to the last page two hundred sixty-something and then the book stops. No, I mean ends, without tying up the loose ends. It was the most disappointing ending I have ever read. I want to ask Mr. Woods for two things. First, three dollars for the late fee, and second, the two hours of my life back. Stay away from this book.

When I first began reading this book, I was not too sure if I was going to finish it! But then I thought, "This is Stuart Woods-it has to be good". And indeed it did get better. It turned out to be his usual suspensfule style that makes you keep turning those pages! Surprise ending, at least it was to me! Check out this book and see if you can solve the mystery behind the strange occurences in this book. Just don't be discouraged by the first few chapters. Enjoy!
