Summary: Defines a "page turner"...
Review: I picked up this book as an afterthought....and it remained glued to my hand for the whole day....A great plot full of interesting turns. The ending was a little anti-climatic....but by that time with only 10 pages to go you could have forgiven anything....this book was that good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kept me awake all night and I forgot about my toothache
Review: I just had my wisdom teeth pulled and I was having problems falling asleep. I was laying there thinking about the pain. So I got up and took a couple Tylenol PM. That should've worked and probably would have had I not started reading "Tell No One." I soon forgot about the pain and sleep altogether. Next thing I knew it was 4:00 am.

I am usually not a fan of mysteries and other genre fiction. I tend to like reading what would be called "literature." This book has made me doubt myself.

I won't tell you what happens at all (read it yourself), but I will tell you that of the 20-25 people who work at my bookstore, 6 have read this book and all 6 consider it one of the best BOOKS they've read in years. These are people who read 3-5 books a month.

Highly Recommended

Summary: Tell everyone who enjoys a thriller to read this book
Review: Dr. David Beck is married to Elizabeth, his soulmate and childhood sweetheart. Through a senseless act of violence the love of his life is taken from him. He now is contacted, eight years later, over the internet with information that may lead Dr. Beck to believe that Elizabeth may still be alive. The clues given could only be known by Elizabeth. How can this be possible? Thus starts a roller coaster ride of a thriller. Nothing is as it seems. The twists and turns of this book are great. It is a real page turner.

As I said tell everyone to read this book if you enjoy a good suspense novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful, captivating, and excellent
Review: Coben's writing is beyond anything that I have read in a long time. He has a way with words that makes you become part of the story or feel like you are the character. The plot twists and turns and you try you damnedest to figure this book out before the end. Wonderful, amazing. His gives his characters the right amount of emotion as well as sarcasm and all that jazz. Read this one and you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Literally couldn't put it down....
Review: Started reading at 8 a.m., in my nightgown with a second cup of coffee. Finished reading at 2 p.m., still in my nightgown. Loved it, obviously! Believable plot with lots of twists and turns, well-drawn characters, lots of tension, plenty of action, exceptionally well-written -- this book has everything. I had resisted buying this one because it was NOT Myron Bolitar, but from now on, I'll read whatever Harlan Coban wants to write!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: top notch thiller
Review: If you enjoy thrillers, I would highly recommend this book. I honestly cannot recall reading a book where I almost had to put the book down for a day (actually I did switch to another book - non-fiction for two days) due to the suspense. Perhaps the closest thriller I can recall was the movie, Wait Until Dark, in the late 60's. The plot in the book is such that you never "asked" to suspend your belief in reality for the sake of the plot. As other reviewers mention, I was not prepared for the ending. Again, if you enjoy thrillers buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good read, but... it's the little things
Review: I'm not as enthousiastic about this book as many others writing here. I didn't care about the main character too much, whose "do good" persona felt much more irritating to me than Myron Bolitar's, the hero of Coben's other books. Though both heros share a lot of traits, the sentence "it's the little things" really got on my nerves when the hero encountered another endearing thought or situation.

That said, the plot moves along well, and even though the primary description of characters as "weasely" doesn't leave much room for surprises, I felt myself drawn into Beck's pursuit and really needed to know the ending. This, however, wasn't the big revelation for me as it seems to have been for others, instead I felt vaguely cheated. You'll have to see for yourself, there's no way I can think of discussing it without giving it away.

I wonder whether we'll meet Myron again somewhere on the road. I sure hope so, as the plot of Coben's new book (sans Mr Bolitar) seems to rehash some of the key elements of this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You won't regret it!
Review: A very fast paced and exciting suspense novel. From the first few lines you will not be able to drop this book. Chapter after chapter Coben keeps you wondering about what will happen next! Or why somebody said something, or is thinking something.
The last chapter will suprise you no matter what. A very unusual and unexpected ending. You might at first think why did the author not collaborate on that more, but then you think it would have ruined that joy and wonder you got when you read the last line.
I recommend this book to suspense readers. I will go and get myself another of Coben's books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Completely Engaging
Review: From experience I've found that its rare to find a suspense or mystery novel that packs as large an emotional punch as it does thrills. Tell No One is one of the few exceptions to this rule. Coben has accomplished two things with Tell No One: he's created a good, solid, strong mystery and he's written a story with likable, well constructed characters with emotions that we can all identify with to a certain degree. Despite the top-notch characterization, the action of the story never falters. As promised, there are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. While it's a relatively easy read, the story is clearly well thought out and engaging. A fantastic, fun read. Enjoy!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: CHEAP, dime store novel
Review: This is the most stupid, unbelievable, shot full of holes BS I've ever read. I can't even bring myself to write a
review it's that worthless. The characters are all extremists (the baddest of the bad and good goodiest). They are
unbelievably lame. I've read most all of Coben's Myron Bolitar novels and thought they were pretty good. They
did start to get old tho. But this Tell No One stinks. It's cheap. Sorry, like I said it's not even worth a review. So
I guess I'll just place my star vote and shutup.
