1.0 out of 5 stars Stuart, Please Go Back to Writing One Book a Year, February 3, 2009

By

Mystery Fan (Elmhurst, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mounting Fears (Will Lee, No. 7) (Hardcover)

This book is not worth the price. It seemed like an outline to which Woods added a few sentences here and there. It did a disservice to Will Lee's story and also to Holly Barker, who now is a caricature of her former self and gets only a couple of pages in Woods' new books. I think the author needs to give up writing three not very good books a year, and return to one well-thought out, compellingly written book annually. Woods won't make that much more money with three, if the word gets out and people stop buying the books. Also, what's with his having multiple one-dimensional young women dropping in just to have sex with middle-aged male characters. It's really off-putting. C'mon, Stuart, stop phoning the books in and get back to writing books that used to grab the reader on page one.

This review is from: Mounting Fears (Will Lee) (Kindle Edition)

Don't bother to purchase this book unless you have a real fondness for Mr. Woods. This was a thrown together plot that has so many pieces to it that you have to imagine Mr. Woods 1. was trying to meet a deadline; 2. was creating multiple plots for further sequels; or 3. needed the money quickly. The story opens with a horrific terrorist plot, mixes in with the President's reelection, some cursory sex scenes, a completely unrelated CIA killing, etc. Save your money for a better book by Mr. Woods.

This review is from: Mounting Fears (Will Lee) (Kindle Edition)

The author failed to deliver his usual lighthearted romp instead servingup a tedious progression of improbabilities and inane plot constructions. this book is thoroughly worth skipping.

I enjoy Stuart Woods books. I have read most of what he has written. The book is fast moving and it took me four days to finish it!

2.0 out of 5 stars borrrow this one from the library
Its not worth the purchase price. Not up to Woods' usual standards -- improbable plot and not as well crafted as he is capable of.

Have read several of Wood's books but this one was poorly conceived and even more poorly executed. It lacked a story line and depth of character. Read more

What an awful book. What are his publishers thinking? He's exhausted his writing days as far as I'm concerned. Please, please, no more of his books.
