Review - Fresh Disasters

After this weekend and some time on the plane and in the airport, I finished Fresh Disasters by Stuart Woods.

Woods writes with a lot of dialog. This really makes the pages fly by. And he writes a gripping story. In this one, Stone Barrington takes on the mafia. He is asked (forcefully) to represent a client that wishes to sue a mob boss for roughing him up. At the same time, he has to deal with a sculptor with a fixation on tall, beautiful women that end up hurt or dead.

Stone sleeps around, and as one Amazon reviewer, didn't even seem to have time to change the sheets between his "episodes." The Stone Barrington series always has some sex and this one was no different. I thought the different women he took to bed was excessive. I almost had a hard time keeping track of his latest conquest. Too bad, because his Holly barker series doesn't have to have all that to provide a great story. Other than the sex, I enjoyed the book. But I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

It was 277 pages and reads very fast. Now it's on to Simple Genius by David Baldacci.
