Don't waste your $9.99
1By DougScottI can guarantee you that this book is not a New York Times bestseller. It would appear that Woods is doing nothing but publishing novels about every 2 to 3 months and these last two novels are far and away some of the worst he's ever written, particularly this one, that is if he's writing them. If my counting is correct, beginning with Stone going to college, law school, graduating at age approximately 25 years old, 14 years as a policeman, makes him 39, two or three years dating Arrington, 41, who moved to Hollywood and gets married, nine months of pregnancy, Peter is born goes to Yale gets out goes back to Hollywood probably aged 23 - 24 years, and this puts Stone in his mid 60's. Then add a few more years in between adventures and drinking probably a 100 gallons or more of knob Creek, eating out every night, and screwing everything that walks, and by now, Stone should be a 70+ year old diabetic, dying of aids or alcoholism, and weighing over 300 pounds.Excuse me
3By JaydeeJdeleonI was certainly disappointed with the obvious liberal democratic slant to this book, having enjoyed the rest of the books of this series I consider myself a moderate Republican, and feel some disappointment in the obvious slant towards the Obama, Hilary Clinton flavor of this story. Are you part of the liberal media ? Is this really you ?of. can you do better ?Insatiable Appetites
1By xixitttWaste of money. Didn't finish. Leftist bias. Last Stuart Woods book for me.Great
5By OhyeahfunStuart and Stone. Nuff said !Insatiable Appetites
4By Snowman1652Another good one.......this guy gets more women than me! Got to go. Reading another one.....Avoid this Book
1By Cmcdermott66I loved the early Stone books. Good stories, good dialogue, entertaining characters. Now everyone seems to have become remarkable successes. And have lost the ability to have any, I mean any, emotion in their dialogue. Woods lost me forever with the line "I'd just like to sit here quietly and commune with the spirit of my dead son". What?? Who talks like that? I literally laughed out loud at how bad Woods' dialogue has become. I'll stop reading his books for the same reason I stopped reading any of Clive Cusslers books: commercialism over substance. Too bad. Good bye Mr. Woods.Not worth anyone's time
1By Rob FinmanShameless political pandering. Woods, you are a novelist and not a political operative. Detective novels are supposed to be fun for readers. I've read every Stone Barrington novel and loved most. It's hard to overlook your overbearing and absurd leanings in this thin plot. Let's be clear, I don't care about your political views any more than you would like to listen to mine. Since you can't seem to return to the gifted story-teller that you once were, adios to you. Personal politics and pleasure don't mix.Insatiable Appetites
5By P11sonExcellent!! Stuart Woods NEVER disappoints me!!Insatiable Appetites
1By ExpectsomethingThis is one of the worst thrillers I have read in a long time. The plot was extremely thin, the characters were lifeless and evoked no emotion, and the writing was not only dull, but very low difficulty (I.e., basic).Insatiable Appetites
1By PleasedInTexasCould have been a good book. Unfortunately, he has become part of the divisive segment of our society. Liberals are all good and conservatives are all bad.Insatiable appetites by Stuart Woods
1By DS15566I could not finish this political stomach turner. I stopped reading it. It is the worst political fabrication of a Stone Barrington book I've ever read. Another author should step in and take over this character and write real stories again. I'm The author is trying to portray Republicans are murderers. Don't waste your time or money on these books. Stop buying them please! When an author goes overboard to this extent....its time say goodbye. Bye Stone Barrington. You used to be an interesting character. Now you are a political wet dream for the author. He has given up a good book for his political sickness. Stuart: you've given up being a good author. You ate a political havk with no interest in your characters. YouJunk
1By GovhackUnfortunately, Mr. Woods has sacrificed plot development for political advocacy. The main characters' disdain for evil rich Republicans is made ludicrous by their lifestyle--mansions, private jets, chauffeured Bentley's, etc. What a perfect example of limousine liberal hypocrisy. Add to that a weak, implausible plot an a no ending ending, and you have a piece of literary junk.Insatiable Appetites
1By Evil RepublicanIt seems that Mr Woods is more concerned in this book about his disdain for Republicans. I love a good political thriller but this one is so far left that I couldn't even finish it. This was my last Stuart Woods book on liberal writings. Mr Woods does t seem to know that Republicans and conservatives can read as well as liberals.Not my Favorite Stuart Woods Novel
3By IcreatealotIt was a fair read but left detail and interest between the characters. Completely dropped the ball in connecting the beginning and end of the story together. There actually really was no end at all. Unfortunately this novel left me completely flat.Stilted Dialogue
1By oldbutfineThe dialogue is so stiff and without any emotion or depth that the characters are wooden. The characters are annoyingly polite to each other. The hellos, thank you's and goodbyes take up so much print space, that descriptive prose and indepth descriptions are incredibly lacking. I used to like Stone Barrington. Now he is boring.Loved it!
4By DrHornA very fast read with nice twists and turns. I recommend a nice winter weekend with a great glass of wine. You'll have a great time with a great read.Insatiable Appetites
1By Turnkey81A lousy short story. Not worth your money or time. Wood's writing has been going in the toilet lately and now he has flushed it ! Give it up Stuart or find someone good to write for you.Great book!
5By Mcbeard57Entertaining, intriguing, engaging, and very possibly a movie in the future!Insatiable appetites
5By AbsupoBest in a long long time. Had intrigue, story line and the fact that stone wasn't jumping into bed every couple of pages.
