About Stuart Woods

The American novelist hailing from Georgia, Stuart Woods, had a long and lustrous career in competition sailing. The interest, maybe obsession, with sailing began after he had spent time in London, then Ireland to write a novel about an old family story which he had heard as a child. He began putting together a crew for sailing competition shortly after he moved to Ireland.

It was in conjunction with a certain race, the MORCRA Azores Race and the OSTAR, Woods met with publishers to trade writing a book about his sailing experiences in return for sponsorship of the races. Golden Harp was launched in 1975, followed by Golden, Golden Apple, Golden Shamrock, Golden Delicious, and Harp.

Wood's novel, Blue Water. Green Skipper was published in 1977. His next book took a different turn and was based on his extensive travels around England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It was entitled, A Romantic's Guide to the Country Inns of Britain and Ireland. He then followed those two non-fiction books with several series of novels featuring recurring casts of characters and also with characters and their love interests, and frequent use of the New York restaurant Elaine's as a meeting place. Woods has published a memoir, a travel book, and forty-four novels in a thirty-seven year career.

The story reads like the first attempt to write a novel. The plot is ludicrous as are the characters. There isnt a 16 year old boy in the world that talks & acts like Peter. If this is how money lives, Im glad Im not rich.

4 Stars. Different yet interesting. Dare I say it? OK. In part, it's a romance. Some GR readers seem to be reluctant to disclose the heart of the story, that Stone Barrington gets married. An exciting tid-bit, but that's far from the whole story - the entry eventually slips back into its main raison......more

Goodreads review by Tami on August 26, 2016

Totally emotionless. Three hundred pages of detached recitation on the life of the uber-wealthy and privileged. Murder, abortion and confrontation with an armed killer don't cause any of the characters to bat an eyelash, much less display an emotion or even have interesting dialog. It reads as thoug......more

Goodreads review by Kay on October 27, 2011

I've never been a fan of Stone Barrington. I find him arrogant and grow tired of his sexual conquests. With this book I've realized the basic reason I don't like him--- he's non emotional. Stone has always lived like a king when he really didn't have the money. His secretary has always fought the cr......more

Goodreads review by Bill on October 07, 2011

Stone Barrington's son rolls right onto the pages of this fast-paced book. Stone's son Peter has been discussed plenty in the past but never introduced until now. His son is very smart, clever and a genius. As a matter of fact, he seems a bit too perfect because everything Stone and Peter do througho......more
