Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Shakeup (A Stone Barrington Novel)

I have been a HUGE fan of Stuart Woods for years now and have read everything he has published. The last few books have been poor quality and I did not say anything. But, this one was so bad, I had to write this review. His plots have been contorted and unrealistic for a while, but this one was outlandish and unbelievable. The character development has been lacking as well. But, now that Stone is dating the POTUS, surely you can develop a more logical, interesting, and believable storyline. If not, you should retire the character and the series and maybe stop writing all together. Sorry to be so harsh, but you have really disappointed a lot of readers with this book.

STUART WOODS LATEST STONE BARINGTON NOVELS ARE DISAPPOINTING

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Boring. Same old plot. No longer interesting. I have read every Stuart Woods novel and he was always my favorite author. I could not wait for a new book to be released. Not any more I am sad to say. I have been disappointed with his last several Stone Barrington novels. He now seems to be interested in quantity and has forsaken quality in the 4 or 5 books he is now churning out every year. I am not planning on reading any more Stone Barrington novels. I will , however read any new Teddy Fay novels which I still find appealing.

What a steaming pile

Very disappointing......unless you're a 15 year old boy who thinks constantly of indiscriminate sex with anything that moves. Conspicuous consumption in print. Will not be reading any further drivel from this hack writer, he certainly is not an author. I would not recommend this mess to anyone! Save your money and find a real author who can generate a believable story line with characters that you could like.

Very disappointed in this book, Stone Barrington spent the majority of his time having sex with every woman who crossed his path. I had always read about this character because he was fun, not a sex addict. Really felt it was a sorry excuse for a mystery.

This is my first SB novel... I'm on chapter 44, and SB has done nothing but sleep with 3 out of 4 women, and the 4th was dead!!! Two women, within an hour of meeting him, jumped in bed with him. So far he hasn't done anything else!

Sex

I thought it was to much sex and not enough story . As much as I have enjoyed Stone Barrington novels for years, he has made his books very similar, his older novels to me had a better story line a d it may be time to move on I am very sorry to say.

Wasted plots

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2021

Plots could've been better developed. Stone character is less likable. An already over the top lifestyle is becoming distracting to plots and other character development. Dino seems only a "yes" man to Stone. Other books were better. I plan to reread the first Stone Barrington book in the series, then decide if I'll read any more current books of this series.

Amateurish

This is my first Stone Barrington novel and will certainly be my last. It is so childishly written that I thought it must be the work of a high school student with overactive hormones. I laughed all the way through the book (which was probably what Mr. Woods was doing as he walked to the bank).

WAY below the bar

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Every once in a while in this series, Woods just mails it in, for whatever reason. This is one of them, and I paid way too much money for a book that wouldn't be worth it on Kindle Unlimited. From now on I'll wait a couple years for the price to come down. Or take the time to read the reviews.
