Woods at his best
15 Nov 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In the novel CHOKE, Woods displays the main character, Chuck Parish, desperate and eager for a new job. Little does Chuck know that he will soon be mixed up in the biggest scandal of his life. Parish soon finds it extremely difficult trying to prove his innocence to the police and at the same time trying to figure out who the real culprit of the crime is. Woods defines the word page-turner in this excellent novel that will leave the reader guessing until the end. CHOKE is a great and easy read that will intrigue and leave the reader spellbound by the time he or she is finished. These are just a few of the many reasons that I give this book all of the five stars and highly recomend it.

An Unexpected Surprise
5 April 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first discovered Stuart Woods almost 2 years ago; an off-handed recommendation from a co-worker. Since that time, I have become somewhat of an, obsessed or possessed or one of those "est" words, fan.
I read through all of his 19 novels in record time. (during my Stuart Woods feeding frenzy.) I did however leave Choke for last, for as much as I adore Mr Woods, I have very little interest in tennis and I didn't think this would be my favorite book by any means. I was unexpectedly surprised! (as Mr. Woods continues to do to me.)
This is in no way a "tennis" book, it is Mr. Woods at his most relaxed and fun. It is filled with suspense, drama, loads of sex, (of course)and humor. All of the things that make him so appealing.
If you haven't read Stuart Woods before, you will become a fan with Choke. If you have read Mr. Woods before, you will fall in love with him in Choke. Either way, you can't lose. Enjoy!

It Wont Choke You Up
21 Aug 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The book begins with Charles, a professional tennis player, choking during the final match at Wimbledon. What could be worse then that? He's about to find out when he meets Harry and Claire while teaching tennis for a small resort in Key West, FL. What are they hiding?
In typical Stuart Woods fashion, this book is gripping from the start. With boats blowing up and fast action, it was a good audio book. This is the first book in a month that kept me riveted to my car to a point I didn't want to get out when I arrived at work or at home.
Mr. Sanders (Narrator) did a fantastic job. He was able to use his voice to give characters different accents, and personalities. In addition, he is one of the few narrators I have heard in audio books who could actually do a fairly decent female voice. I truly believe this added to the book.
Fast paced with lots of twists and turns, this is a gripping novel. This is only the second book I have ever had by Mr. Woods. The other was Dead In The Water. Though being relatively new to Mr. Woods works, I found this book to be exciting, fast paced and hard to pull away from just as I did with Dead In The Water.
If you like mysteries or suspense drama, then this is a book for you. For other new comers to Mr. Woods works, don't hesitate to read or listen to this book.
