Loitering With Intent (Stone Barrington Book 16)

Stuart Woods has been one of my favorite novelists. When he gets into his sailing he's at his best. The Stone Barrington books are soooo predictable. His gratuitous sex is not necessary to gather in his fans. This Swedish doctor was going to move to New York to be near Stone. Couldn't imagine him being tied down. He wasn't as it turned out. The scenes with her in the sack were supererogatory.

These characters of Wood's book series always give you a laugh. I can't credit Tony Roberts enough for his interpretations of each character--he makes the books really enjoyable. I've listened to several audio books where the reader was awful but Roberts gets five stars. You'll laugh and groan at the mishaps of Stone and Dino. Enjoy!

All of the Stuart Woods books have provided me with a great deal of entertainment. Each is different but weaves in many of the same characters as they age and go through their lives. Some of the lesser characters recur here and there, making each book more interesting. Read them in order to keep up with the movement. Thoroughly enjoyable with many plots about places and matters that I otherwise might not have been overly interested in until reading them in these books. I keep tied for more from Mr. Woods.

The story, as all of Stuart Woods books, is engaging. In all stories the main character, Mr. Barrington, is characterized as not having the highest morals with regard to his sexual behavior. Without identifying the behavior, lets just say that in this book, Mr. Barrington's morals have reached a new low, a behavior choice that did not add to the story line, but did make me question reading any more of the books in this series.

This story was tedious and drawn out and very unlike Stuart Woods. I have read all his other books and was surprised to be bored a third of the way through this one. I forced myself to read to the end in the hope that it would become more gripping and enticing somewhere along the way but.... it did not! Very disappointing!

If you like Stuart Woods's writing and characters, you won't be disappointed. They're great for escapism, and they're page-turners, but there's really nothing that you haven't seen many times in his stories: everyone succeeds well at what they do, every character has either a trust fund, a divorce settlement, or a huge inheritance. No one lacks for money or means, and Barrington has no trouble getting laid. But if you enjoyed one of these books, you will enjoy all of them.

Stuart Woods is one of my favorite authors, I read his books and enjoy the tapes I either rent or buy....however was quite disappointed with this one.
The second disk skipped and missed lines for the first twenty minutes so that was lost to me....the rest of the disks were just fine

This latest book by Stuart Woods is perfectly titled. It was so laid back when it was over and all the loose ends were wrapped up, I said, "Is that it?"

I enjoyed it and it was very entertaining. Perfect vacation book.
