Title: There's an apt title for you
Review: Having read another Stone Barrington book, "Dead In The Water", and not being that impressed by it, I hesitated when a friend offered me this and raved about it. However, my print addiction won out, and I opened it up. Stone Barrington is one of those characters that seem too perfect to be true--rich, handsome, a babe magnet, and an astute detective to boot. The more I read, the less I liked him. It is the rare book that I don't finish, but "Worst Fears Realized" is one of them. Granted, Woods writes with a lightning pace, but he sacrifices character and plot development to achieve that speed. The result is a cardboard cutout with occasional bouts of repugnant violence and pedestrian sex.
Is the review positive or negative?
