Fresh Disasters Audiobook

" Too scattered in focus to be a good read. Women fall for him too easily and too often. For fluff, it is not bad. "

" A silly relief following a difficult read. "

" My best description of the Stone Barrington series would be a male version of the Stephanie Plum series. These are quick light reads and totaly unrealistic but sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for. "

" "Fresh Disasters" is the first Stuart Woods book I have read, but it is the thirteenth book to feature his detective/lawyer Stone Barrington. Here's what I liked: Woods tells a darn good story, filled with the right amount of suspense and action, tempered with a healthy dose of humor and some snappy dialogue. Woods reminds me of another good mystery writer, the late Robert Parker. Parker's beloved detective, Spenser, was, like Stone, a manly, wise-cracking do-gooder. Here's what I didn't like: Stone is a lawyer. I'm kind of sick of lawyers. Not that I, personally, have come in contact with a lot of lawyers. I just think it's an oversaturated market. There are a ridiculous amount of TV shows about lawyers, as well as numerous authors who have lawyers as their protagonists. Yawn. Also, Stone Barrington suffers from the same malady that Parker's Spenser suffered from in later novels: perfection. There is, from what I could gather, nothing wrong with Stone. He's not an alcoholic. He doesn't have an annoying ex-wife. He doesn't have any children from a previous marriage with which he's struggling to build a relationship. He doesn't have any addictions of any kind (although a case can be made for sex addiction, because he gets laid an awful lot). He doesn't have any morally questionable or dysfunctional personality traits whatsoever. Woods, you gotta gimme something here... I guess I'm not a huge fan of protagonists who have no flaws, tragic or otherwise, unless they're superheroes. Even then, superheroes usually have some fatal flaw. Even Superman had kryptonite. All that being said, "Fresh Disasters" was a good, quick read. I'll probably give Woods another chance. "

" Same song 288 pages long. "

" Action packed. (Note: Loan from Larry.) "

" A fun, quick read , although not one of his best. "

" Totally mindless and trashy book. But so is everything from Stuart Woods. I can't recommend it, but I did read it in less than a day when I was home sick. "

" Stone gets involved with the mob through a returning client and tracks a vicious killer who takes a chance at killing Stone "

" Lots of Stuart Woods books. "

" Stuart Woods is not deep. These Stone Barrington novels are to be gobbled up waiting at airports and hanging around hotel rooms. As such, very useful because the writing takes little contemplation and you don't mnd interruptions. Good yarns but basically white noise. "

" A story filled with intrigue, suspense and a lot of humor. I don't know know how Stone gets these situations but always manages to come out on top..... Literally!!! "

" I have to find more of this authors novels. It was a fun read. "

" Nancy 4.5 stars; Ron 4 stars "

" Another hit for Woods. While many of Stone's escapades seem unreal, they are what keep us interested in reading. Woods delivers with another interesting story with a character who captivates the reader into wanting more. "

" Stone Barrington leads a charmed life. "

" typical stuart woods book - easy reading, page turning, short chapters and twists until the end. great mindless read. "

" i so enjoy stuart woods...ok..he may not write like he use to but.. i still find reading his stuff fun...enjoyable...a good story and low-key mystery... "

" i love to listen to stone barrington series on cd great mindless entertainment can't get enough "

" Stone sleeps with everyone, I don't like the character at all. "

" Although it is a rather short story I though it was well put together. If you are interested in a crime,mystery,or suspense novel give this one a try. "

" If you want a fun, easy read full of sex, murder and mayhem Stuart Woods delivers in his 13th novel featuring Stone Barrington. Great literature it is not, but a great read it is. "

" Ok, the main character is a little unbelieveable, especially the amount of sex he gets! But it was fun to listen to while driving. "

" Legal/crime suspense. I enjoy his plots; this one had more than the usual graphic violence so didn't like it as much as some of his others. "

" I just finished listening to another average Stone Barrington novel. Towards the end it got really exciting, but before that it was rather humdrum and filled with more mail chauvinism than I wanted to be exposed to. I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series. "

" If you are a true-blue Stone Barrington fan, don't miss it. Otherwise, choose something else. "

" A silly relief following a difficult read. "

" Lots of Stuart Woods books. "

" Audio Book. Stone was very much a ladies man in this one. I am interested to see if that's been the case in all his books. "

" What great fun! If you need a fast paced myster with not one, but two sets of criminals, this is the one for you. And of course, it is always fun to see what kind of trouble Stone Barrington is in this time. "

" Sheesh! Isn't this studly guy Stone at all worried about getting STD's!!! <br/>He is some kind of superhuman performer LOL "

" Another Stone Barrington book by Stuart Woods and it is aas always entertaining and witty. "

" Stuart Woods at his best. Several women bedded, excellent dinning in New York, and wine consumed. Oh, yeah, there is a mystery or two to solve as well. "

" I just finished listening to another average Stone Barrington novel. Towards the end it got really exciting, but before that it was rather humdrum and filled with more mail chauvinism than I wanted to be exposed to. I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series. "

" i love to listen to stone barrington series on cd great mindless entertainment can't get enough "

" It's alright - it's the first I read of Stuart Woods - kinda disappointed but I will read another of his books and see how it is. "

" z If you like Evanovich you'll love Woods' Stone Barrington. "

" -Great audiobook. Good reader. I just love Stuart Woods’ books. Never a bad one. "

" These books are like crack. . . you know they aren't very good, but you can't help yourself. "
