Son of Stone / Stuart Woods/ 303 pages

I wonder if Stuart Woods is trying the John Grisham and Harlen Coben route...ie bringing in teen characters? In Son of Stone, his son Peter figures out that Stone is really his dad and not the deceased film legend Vance Calder. If you want a good laugh, read the totally unrealistic dialogue of Stone discussing what life as his son is going to be like for the 16 year old Peter. The character of Peter is totally unbelievable as are all of the other characters. The dialogue is laughable. This one is totally plot driven. Woods does kill off one of his long time characters in the Stone Barrington novels. The only thing I got out of this book is that the rich get richer and well, it's good to be rich. Honestly someone please don't let me read any more of these!
