Dead Paradise (Stone Barrington Novels)15 reviews
Stuart Woods

NAL Trade, 2006

Slick packaging

Be careful when buying this book. It is really a repackaging of two of his earlier best sellers in one cover. The title is so similar that it appears to be a new offering but it is really LA Dead and Cold Paradise in one cover. I was fooled. I'm not very happy by the slick packaging and ...

Pocket, 2006

Exciting thriller

+ Another pageturner

Very exciting book, mostly read it because it was dan brown and I was interested to see what kind of book this was considering it wasn't related to religion like his other more famous books. Like his other books if you take it very seriously you'll probably have some problems with it, but if your ...

Dan Brown

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004

Very good but not his best.

I liked this book very much. He's done better work but I still thoroughly enjoyed this. In my opinion if you like Dan Brown's writing you will enjoy this book.

I don't usually like books, but

+ Kidd novel is a fun adventure
+ The Devil's Code

It started when I was housitting at my buddy's condo and the power went out during the superbowl. WTF? I had nothing to do and all I could find was one flashlight. On his coffee table I saw a copy of Devil's Code and once I picked it up I could not put it down. This book is far from what you ...

LA Dead

+ A good read...

After reading the newest STONE BARRINGTON series book I have gone back to the beginning to see how it all began. Love reading about Stone's adventures. They all have been good.

Berkley, 1996

a great beginning to the Kidd series

+ KIDD BOOKS

I finally got around to read one of my favorite author's early novels, The Fool's Run, by John Sandford. The Fool's Run introduces Kidd (no first name is ever given). Kidd has been featured in four Sandford novels and this is the first (the Empress File is second). He's an artist by day and a ...

Berkley, 2004

Another Kidd Novel!!

+ Probably the Best of the Kidd Series!!!
+ A good book

Even though it may be the last Kidd Novel for John Sanford, it did make me pick up all the others and read them once again. with this story it doesn't paint much of the hero/criminal of Kidd. you do get the idea that he's a righteous criminal with an overwhelming conscience to make him do good. and ...

ONLY IN HOLLYWOOD

+ One of the Best Stuart Woods Books!
+ Wow...Vinnie (Michael) could have had everything, but.....

Credit must be given to the prolific Stuart Woods for pulling off a novel in which the entire cast is heinous and unlikeable. L.A. TIMES pulls it off beautifully. One can't help but get involved in Michael Vincent's rise to the top of Hollywood cream and his fall from grace too. Michael will ...

Reacher at his best

+ An over-the-top mystery
+ Great introduction of Jack Reacher.

Lee Child`s creation is brilliant for a series of books, the transient Jack Reacher finds himself in tiny Margrave, Georgia, and is almost immediately arrested, if briefly, as a murder suspect. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that one of the victims is his brother, a brilliant U.S. Treasury ...

Cop turned lawyer

The Margin Perfect book title--Dark Harbor. I took a break from Michael Connelly and tried Stuart Woods. So far I still like Connelly the best but Woods isn't too far behind. A Stone Barrington novel that follows the cop-turned-lawyer through a maze of suspense as he tries to solve the murders of ...

This book was a hoot and a half to read - a vicious gossip-monger who has always been careful to keep her own dirty laundry hidden finds out she hasn't done as good a job as she would like and finds the tables turned. She turns to Stone Barrington to get help. As things progress, more and more of ...

HarperTorch, 1998

Excellent read

He makes the books very exciting and I just want to hurry and read it so I know how it ends. To keep a person attached to a book like that takes a lot of talent, and he's got it.

Elitist Criticism Aside, It's Genius

+ Dan Brown
+ Hard to put down.

Loathed by elitist literary critics, wannabe highbrows and religious conservatives, The Da Vinci Code is by any measure a work of genius. To dismiss it as pop drivel is to overlook the fact that countless writers are striving to produce catchy pulp fiction that will propel them to stardom and ...
