Rating:  Summary: Huh? Review: Too tricky for its own good, this story never grabs hold of your emotion or wills you to suspend your disbelief. If you need a page turner to pass the time,this will do, but don't expect more.
Rating:  Summary: suspense to the hilt Review: This is the first book I have ever read by written by Harlan. An avid reader of serial killer books - this was a bit of a change. However it kept me riveted and couldn't put it down, unfortunately finished it in two days. Excellent. I usually figure out the plot way up front. The style of writing was also a bit different, don't usually like books written in first person but only part of the book was like that, a few witty lines also made for few laughs even though a serious topic. Makes me want to read his previous novels to see if same genre.
Rating:  Summary: Coben is the Man Review: Ok, I miss Myron and Win, but "Tell No One" certainly did not disappoint. Not a different level, but definitely on a different plain, this work is equally enthralling as Coben's previous works. Still containing strong characters and humor coupled with thrilling escapades and dark scenarios, Coben was able to break from a series unlike most authors. Don't get me wrong, I anxiously await Myron's next stint, but it is nice to see a versatile writer appeal to a broader audience.
Rating:  Summary: "OUTSTANDING, UNABLE TO PUT IT DOWN"!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I suggest you set some time aside. Because you will be unable to put this book down!!! Every time you think you know whats going on, its takes you on another twist, all the way to the end. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Rating:  Summary: Great Brain Candy! Review: I first heard about this book through BookSense ( a great publication put out by independent bookstores). I had a great time reading it. The plot is simple: a man who thought his wife was murdered by a serial killer finds himself accused of that same murder eight years later. There is lots of suspense here and Harlan Coben knows how to move pages -- but for seasoned mystery readers there is nothing new. I found I enjoyed the author's running social commentary throughout the story best: Medicaid, drugs, welfare, violence. Also, Harlan Coben's over-the-top characters are plain fun to read about: Shauna (the hugely famous, plus-size, lesbian model) and Eric Wu (the shell-shocked, war-ravaged, terrifying goombah) were two of my favorites in this story. This is the first book I have read by this author and I plan on checking out his earlier work. If you are looking for a quick, easy read you cannot go wrong with this book!
Rating:  Summary: BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO ! Review: Harlan Coben's book deserves the 5 stars. I loved the way he set up his characters, the twist and turns he adds. Suspense at it's BEST! Even I thought David Beck was losing his mind for awhile there. I thought that whoever was sending those e-mails was very cruel. I loved the way he put his characters through their test and trials, and how he brought everything together. My only disappointment I had was that the monsters WU and Gandle didnt deserve to live, Griffin Scope deserved death row screaming and pleading for his worthless life!! I had a hard time putting down the book.
Rating:  Summary: "Can't Put Down!!" Is An Understatement Review: This is the first Harlan Coben book that I have read, never even heard of him before, but it certainly will not be the last. I just finished reading this fantastic suspense thriller, and was totally wiped out after all of the twists and turns. Well written. Well plotted. Intelligent. Edge of the seat. Along with the interweving of a super love story. Even the jacket was well designed. Why I had to find this by accident is a real life mystery. Where were the rave reviews? Go figure. If you enjoy suspense, this is a must read!
Rating:  Summary: Loved it! Review: I loved this book. It was well written, thrilling and exciting. I would highly recommend this book. It is hard to put down though so make sure you have enough time to read straight through.
