Title: Like a corndog; lots of fluff, little meat
Review: Stuart Woods used to be one of the authors whose books I would buy as soon as they came out. Swimming to Catalina and the past few have moved him into "I'll wait for my public library to buy it, until I read anymore of his books" status. The plot is as thin as the Hollywood people Woods writes about and transparent from the first pages. Stone Barrington is supposed to be a character that women drool over, (Woods' prose is more explicit) but I could find nothing within worth emulating. Perhaps all character development has been done in earlier books. When the scheme that has Barrington moving from hotel, to hotel and back again is revealed, Woods wraps it all up within a few pages and calls it a day. A formula work at best.
Is the review positive or negative?
