Summary: Not Myron Bolitar, but who cares?
Review: Well, actually, I did. I was kinda looking forward to more of his exploits, but this was a fantastic read in its own right. Enough twists and turns to hold your interest and more. Thoroughly enjoyed it in a fast two days. If this is the kind of new stuff we'll see from Harlan Coben, then I can wait a little longer for the return of Bolitar. Well, only a little longer, ok?

Summary: Tell No One
Review: I couldn't put this book down. It takes off like a rocket on page 1 and continues like that through the last page. There are so many twists and turns that you don't know who did it until the very end. In amongst the blood and guts there was also plenty of humor and charm that made the characters extremely likable.

Summary: And he does it again.
Review: I have been reading Coben books since Play Dead(now out of print) and I have yet to read one of his books I did not like. This is no exception. Granted I missed Win kicking A** but the book was a fun, quick read. I just wish it was longer. I read it in just under 5 hours and was left with that "No, I want more" feeling. For anyone who has not read a book by Harlen Coben, what are you waiting for? Pick this one up and you will not stop reading this great author. And the best thing, he is a fellow Jersey boy.

Summary: Best Book Of 2001
Review: Harlan Coben has done it again. Hot off the Myron Bolitar mystery series, which I would HIGHLY recommend to everyone, Coben introduces us to Dr. David Beck. Eight years after his wife is identified as a murder victim of a serial killer, he receives an e-mail that has to be from her. Throw in a crooked aristocrat with some heavy muscle, a lesbian love affair, out-of-sync police officers, and a trying-to-do-right-by-his-son drug dealer, and you have an amazing read. TELL NO ONE is the best book that I have read in the last five years. Get this book, and you will not put it down until the surprise ending. Another solid effort from Harlan Coben.

Summary: Mixed Feelings
Review: The writing style is choppy and overly dramatic. It seemed like a parody or a movie script in parts. The characters seemed like somewhat changed retreads from the Bolitar series. But the plot was fun and full of surprises.

Summary: Entertainment Plus
Review: David Beck thought his wife was murdered eight years ago, the victim of a serial killer. Then an anonymous email arrives which suggests that, just possibly, she's still alive. To add to the intrigue, the murder case is reopened and Beck is now the FBI's main suspect. The action takes off when Beck becomes a fugitive and is not only pursued by the police, but also by a bunch of thugs intent on silencing him for good - and how on earth do those blokes come into it?. All the while, he tries to meet up with the mystery correspondent, not an easy task when it seems his every move is monitored.I found this to be one of those books that seems a lot shorter than it actually is because the action is non-stop, you barely have time to get over one near miss when you're confronted with some other danger or a new piece of the puzzle is put into place. It's a compelling book thanks to the mystery surrounding the death of Elizabeth Back, wife of David Beck. This was one of the more enjoyable books I've read this year and rate it very highly purely on its ability to entertain.

Summary: Emotional And Exciting **NOT a spoiler review**
Review: This is the first Coben book I've read, and if it's any indication of his previous books I will definitely be investing more of my time reading them all. I was really impressed by his style of writing. He is very short and descript with everything, and it lets the story move at an excellent pace. He leaves more to the imaginiation than other writers (like King). Usually it takes me a while to sink into a novel, but I was into the story after the first page. A very involving story, and very difficult to put down. If only it were longer.

Summary: A page-turner for the pool
Review: I'll admit that I am not a mystery lover. I had never even heard of Harlan Coben until now. I found a good review in a magazine and bought it on a whim at the bookstore. I was NOT disappointed. It's a quick read; my husband had to take it away from me so I would go to sleep. I found myself engrossed in the page-turning suspense, twists in plot and natural dialogue. It's an easy summer read and worth the money. Add it to your shopping cart, then your beach bag.
