Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read (and own) every piece of fiction that Stuart Woods (SW) has ever written and I think he's been heading downhill at a alarming rate with each new book he publishes. If you read "Chiefs," one of his earliest books, you will see that he can write a decent, complicated plot line, that he also can keep enough tension in a plot to make you want to keep reading it. He DOESN'T have to resort to all the 15-year-old sexual behavior to pull off the story. He's got Stone Barrington acting like a drunk, 15 year old in this book. I honestly can't figure out why I even buy this crap anymore. Stanford and others throw a little hint of sex in his books and it seems to be just about the right amount and done in a classy way but SW is writing adolescent filth in "Kisser." It does nothing to help the story line, it's not really believable and it's really distracting from a reader's point of view. His plot's are getting pretty weak, maybe that's why all the sex-talk. It seems like he's cranking out 3 or 4 new books a year now which might explain why sloppy editing is falling through the cracks and he forgetting the names of his own characters. I'm really disappointed in this guy. He used to be a pretty good "action thriller" writer. He's got street criminals using bridge-table; high society vernacular usually found only in the Hamptons, he's still calling dope peddlers "dealers." It's 2010 for crying out loud! This is just another SW book that doesn't have enough of the author's "glue" to hold pieces together that don't fit together in the first place. I can't believe I'm the only one who's seen the decline in the quality of his writing. It's sad. No action thriller here. You had a great run Stu, time to retire. Juvenile Fiction.
