Summary: A Humdinger of a Book!
Review: Harlan Coben is a favourite author of mine already. His earlier novels have consistently been clever, witty and generally engrossing stories. But none have showcased Coben's talent for fabricating a brilliant story to the degree of this book. Truly, it is his most intelligently-constructed novel to date. Complex, exciting, and absorbing - I read it in one sitting - till 7 in the morning on a WEEKNIGHT! This book has firmly cemented my interest in this author and I eagerly look forward any new works... I think I may even re-read some of the old ones! Enjoy!

Summary: Stick with Myron Bolitar!
Review: I'm an open-minded chap, but this novel just doesn't cut it (and it's a real decline from just about any of Coben's Myron Bolitar novels). Its premise is thin, the plot is predictable and Coben's attempts to build suspense and throw in twists at the end fall far short. Stick with Myron Bolitar!

Summary: Not many words, It's too good!
Review: This book is simply the best I read in years in this genre, and I read a lot of mysteries. It took me one and a half day to read it, and I had to work as well! It's THE pageturner par excellence, what can I say more.

Summary: Strap yourself in!!
Review: I read this novel some time ago, but i still feel compelled to contradict Mr Coben's request and TELL EVERYONE! It is undoubtedly the best novel i have ever read, due mainly to its ability to take a tired genre (the love story) and inject a new lease of life effortlessly into it. Coben takes you to a chapters apex only to drag your attention away to another scene, this would be annoying if the subsequent scene wasn't just as excellent. I could discuss the plot & the characters, but some things can not be described through words...so how come Coben does it with such ease? This book runs on rocket fuel, by the time you have finished it feels like you have just started, indeed, by the time you have finished you will wish you have just started!

Summary: Tell Everyone
Review: This is the finest mystery of the year, and this millenium. Coben's books is a fabulous pageturner, not to be missed. I couldnt put it down. I have read some of the dopey bad reviews, but even those folks cant put it down and finish it quickly, so I dont get what they want in a mystery. Yeah the Har!! We want more of your great books.

Summary: Let Me Tell You -
Review: You will be on the edge of your seat from page one! This is certainly one of the best thrillers I have read in a long time, I could not put the book down until I finished. Beck and Elizabeth are happy together, have been for a long time. On their anniversary, they return to Lake Charmaine where they have spent every anniversary since the beginning. There things go horribly wrong - we find out later that Elizabeth was kidnapped and killed. After eight long years, Beck is still trying to cope with his horrendous loss. Firing up the computer at work to check his email proves to be the beginning of an emotional rollercoaster. From here on out - this is a page-turner!! Twists and turns at breakneck speed are what you have to look forward to. This is an extremely good book - I urge you to pick up a copy, and get ready to Tell Everyone!!

Summary: Premise carries the book, but structure ruins it.
Review: I read the premise of this book and that convinced me to read it. Beck thinks his wife his dead, then gets a mysterious email that makes him think she is still alive. Sounds great, and it is. Once he receives the email, Beck begins to investigate the circumstances around his wife's death, hoping to find out whether or not to believe in the impossible, that she isn't really dead. This part of the book is fast paced and exciting. But if his wife is really alive, then what happened eight years ago when she supposedly died? Obviously there has to have been a conflict eight years ago, and this is where the story falls apart. First of all, the situation, which involves murder and blackmail seems contrived. The bad guy also seems to be all powerful and have thugs working for him that can do anything, yet we get no sense of who the bad guy is. Finally, towards the end of the novel, when what happened 8 years ago is relevant to the current story, we find out about it by the author having one of the characters tell what happened. Richard North Patterson is an author who uses flashbacks effectively. They would have helped immensley in this story. The situation surrounding his wife's death is obviously important, yet Coben forces us not to care.

Summary: Fantastic!!
Review: Tell No One was one of the best novels I have ever read and I read a lot!! There are constant twists and turns to keep the reader very interested. I purchased another of Coben's book's today and can't wait to start it! Don't miss reading this book!!

Summary: Eh...
Review: This got a pretty good review in the Washington Post Book World so I decided to read it. I don't know...the narrator being best buddies with a drug dealer who's always there to watch his back...? I just didn't buy that AT ALL. That kind of thing was done better and much more believably in "Marathon Man" years ago. And the ending -- where the heck did that come from? I also found it ludicrous that the rich guy-baddie would break into a house all alone to do his own "wet work." Don't guys like that hire thugs to do that FOR them? Like I said, eh....

Summary: I challenge you to "TELL NO ONE!"
Review: Has anyone ever told you a secret, and asked you not tell anyone? If did tell someone, you could risk their and yours. In this story, someone has burried a secret in the past, and they will do anything to keep it there. Who can Beck trust? He's not sure he can even trust himself. Maybe it's some kind of sick joke. Or maybe he's just dreaming. I'm not telling! You'll have to read it to find out. I think you'll be suprised, as I was. Ok, I will tell you this, the truth comes out in the end. If you love mystery/suspence stories with a lot of action, I highly recommend, Harlan Coben's, Tell No One!
