Rating:  Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Review: This Harlan Coben book came to me from recommendations, while I searched for another book. I'm very glad for discovering Coben. This book kept me up a little later each night I read it. In fact, towards the end, I slowed my reading because I didn't want the book to end. I am now looking into some of Coben's earlier written books, I'd love to read them all. One of the best authors to cross my path this year.
Rating:  Summary: FANTASTIC SUPENSE THRILLER Review: This book is suspense at it's finest.. Everytime you think you know how the plot is going, you turn the page and your wrong. If you love a fast-paced supense thriller, check out "Tell No One", you won't be disappointed..
Rating:  Summary: I Loved this Book! Review: I picked this book up at 3pm on Thursday, thinking I would spend the weekend leisurely reading this on the beach. Four hours later, I was finished with it! I couldn't put it down! The only other authors who write books I can't put down are Patricia Cornwell and the old John Grisham. "Tell No One" is by far the best book I have read all year. I couldn't wait to turn the page to see what would happen next. This is definitely a MUST read book!
Rating:  Summary: Entertainment with Style Review: I don't get it. After just finishing this read, I'm amazed that this author isn't enjoying the notoriety of say a Crighton, Deaver, or Follett. Albeit, I haven't read his earlier serial Bolitar novels yet. But if there is any similarity to this David Beck thriller to those early works, the public is being cheated by not knowing about Harlan Coben. "Tell No One" has a splendid, well thought out and crafted plot surpassed only perhaps by Coben's crystal clear style of moving the story from a gut wrenching intro to a delicious conclusion. There's very little drag in the 330 plus pages but plenty of hot spots with intense action, intrigue and suspense. All developed nicely into good entertainment.
Rating:  Summary: Mucho Intenso! Review: I thought that Tell No One was an excellent story and that it would make a great action movie. It is a can't-put-it-down book. I did however think that it was a little bit unrealistic when it came to the main character. He was a consevative doctor at first and then he turned into some big hero. I didn't think that was well done, but other wise it was a great story filled with suprise and suspense!
Rating:  Summary: Harlan Coben's Fulfilling Stretch Review: As a mystery writer with my first novel in its initial release, I have noticed that Harlan Coben has had a mighty high profile at every recent mystery convention I have participated in as an author. He has been guest honor, toastmaster, charity auctioneer, and participant on the most popular author panels. His recnt work, TELL NO ONE, perfectly illustrates the reason for this fine author's enormous popularity. TELL NO ONE, a stand-alone thriller, involves a man named David Beck who has rebuilt his life following the murder of his wife, who also happened to be his childhood sweetheart. As David continues to attempt to move on from his great personal tragedy, suggestions arise that unanswered questions involving his wife's death can still be answered. David sets out to answer those questions in this most fulfilling thriller. TELL NO ONE is a great book, and Harlan Coben proves his literary range stretches far beyond his popular series set-up. I recommend this book heartily.
Rating:  Summary: A Terrific Thriller Review: With TELL NO ONE, Harlan Coben demonstrates in a big way that he can be terrifying and terrific even away from Myron Bolitar. The plot twists and turns as the reader learns -- or thinks he learns -- whether Elizabeth Beck was really murdered 8 years ago. And why the events of that night have come back to haunt her husband David . . . and can cause death again and again. I had to take my blood pressure when I read this one, to make sure it didn't get too high from excitement. And unlike many well-plotted but weakly written thrillers, Coben's writing here is superb. TELL NO ONE is a gem.
Rating:  Summary: I got caught! Review: This was a GREAT read! It flowed very nicely, the plot well designed. The author is excellent in his ability to create a feeling of unease and foreboding as you make your way through the pages and I sat back and allowed the author to steer me through the story. The ending was a HUGE surprise to me and I did not see it coming, which was so gratifying! In retrospect, the clues are there, just be open to ANYTHING! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am sad it is over! I have never read anything else by Coben and am usually reluctant to try an author I have no experience with....nothing like taking the risk and being disappointed! But now I can't wait to get my hands on other books by this author.
Rating:  Summary: Best Mystery Book Available Review: Harlan Coben is pure genius when it comes to writing novels. TELL NO ONE leaves nothing to be desired. This is, by far, the best mystery book out there right now. Dr. David Beck gets an e-mail from his wife who has been dead for 8 years, and he is now sent on one remarkable ride, meeting up with several interesting characters. Coben intertwines them so perfectly with a nice, faced-paced, easy-flowing storyline, you cannot help but enjoy this book. TELL NO ONE keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire whodunnit book. This book is amazing. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. This is a MUST READ. It will not dissappoint.
Rating:  Summary: Set your daily routine aside for this one! Review: I feel that it is a mistake to compare this, the latest of Harlen Coben's books, to his suberb series starring Myron Bolitar. They are two separate and distinct entities and should be viewed as such. This novel is excellent in its content, characters and plot. Coben builds a fascinating, gripping story from page one and episode upon episode keeps us turning pages and striving to unravel the mystery of Elizabeth! The roads he leads us on are winding and treacherous and my mind would not rest until the last page. What an excellent display of artistic talent and how marvelous that Coben can stretch that talent to give us yet another marvelous read. Unlike many mysteries that are solved speedily in the last chapter and leave me thouroughly disappointed - I found that the clues were there for me to solve along with the writer. I liked how the title "Tell No One" was repeated in the novel but not in the same words. Look for them when you read. How subtle and intriguing! Of course, it was not easy at all to solve, but the fun was in the many times I changed my mind as to what was happening...and the fact that I was shocked and amazed at how it all turns out. So actually, I never solved it but had fun trying!I wish I could hand Coben a bouquet of flowers for his courage in following his muse and venturing forth on this new tack to his writing....and for succeeding in giving us this gem of a novel. I waited patiently for this book as the author had told me in an e-mail that this would be a 'stand alone' novel. Harlan, it was well worth the wait.Thank you!
