Review: I have never read a Harlan Coben book before and just happened to pick this up. It was SO good I couldn't put it down and I read it in one day. I'm anxious to read some more of his books.

Summary: Tell No One Who Reads Good Books
Review: A decent junk food read, I suppose, although most of it was half-baked. The ending annoyed me, as did most of the characterizations and the implausibility of major parts of the plot. Regarding the characters and the author's mini-dissertations throughout: Was the author trying to be PC and instructive rather than horribly condescending? My ambivalence toward the book was there from start to finish--I did turn the pages to see what happened, and then I felt manipulated and disappointed.

Summary: Hooked on Harlan Coben!
Review: The most exciting breakthrough novel since The Firm, Coben's Tell No One has the slick, stylish freshness of early Grisham which lifts it way above the standard hard-boiled crime writing of Patterson, Deaver, Hall, Connelly and all. There's a touch of the David Morrell suspense thriller in there. Having an ordinary doctor-in-jeopardy rather than a clued-up super-sleuth as its hero could be the key to why Tell No One has overshadowed Coben's well established Myron Bolitar detective series and makes it feel like a debut novel.
Written in the fast-paced cinematic-style of short, rapid scene changes, no wonder this very filmable thriller sold to the movies for so much money. The constant shifting from first-person voice to third-person narration has become a popular gimmick of the crime genre lately, thanks mainly to James Patterson's success with his Alex Cross thrillers and gives the added suspense of the reader knowing things the main character he's rooting for doesn't. A device that runs the risk of upsetting the balance of viewpoint and pulling the reader out of the story as you struggle to re-adjust; thankully, Coben manages to pull this off seamlessly. At times, however, he tends to slip into author intrusion - unfortunately the sickly-sweet Nicholas Sparks "male sensitivity" sentimentality variety (to appeal more to female readers, no doubt) with a stereotypical supporting cast of macho, cliched cops and hard-ass hoodlums thrown in to balance things out (and satisfy male readers, no doubt) with all the expectant ingredients of the essential crime potboiler.
Nevertheless, this pacy read never flags and will keep you guessing through a clever weave of intricate plot twists till the surprise and very satisfying conclusion. Nearing the end you keep telling yourself you'll sneak a look at the last few pages to find out what happens, just a quick peak! The page-turning suspense is truly pulsating! You need to know what happens. You're hooked on Harlan Coben right from the beginning of Tell No One and can't wait to read his next novel Gone For Good before you've even finished it.

Summary: First Time Coben Reader
Review: I had not read any of Harlan Coben's books and found this one to be fantastic. I hate the feeling as I'm reading a book, that "I could write better than this". I did not get that feeling with this one. My only frustration was that I couldn't read faster. I loved it!!

Summary: A Great Thriller!

Summary: Great entertainment, read it quickly.
Review: I am very much into suspense thrillers. This one is really fast paced, runs smoothly, well crafted. It's not great literature, but it's fun, if you like to relax! I can recommend this book to anyone, who likes reading thrillers that do not need a "beautiful language".

Summary: Inventive and captivating story...
Review: This is one breathtaking ride. Is there anything more intoxicating than the possibility that someone you know with absolute certainty is dead .. is not? Or at least, may not be? Or maybe told someone something really secret about you that nobody else should know before they died? Or maybe you're losing your mind? This is a good read and some of the side characters like the hopped-up drug dealer who cares deeply for his blind, hemophiliac baby, are alone worth the ride.

Summary: Terrific suspense and twists
Review: What a great book! My first Harlan Coben novel, but not the last. I read it in one sitting (many hours worth, on a dismal day), and "a-ha-ed" aloud with each plot twist (towards the end, there are several). I recommend this book highly, and look forward to reading the others.
