Rating:  Summary: Tell Everyone about Tell No One.... Review: It doesn't matter if Mr. Coben is writing in his Myron Bolitar series or writing a stand alone, the result is the same. A well written story with a fast pace, twisting plot and dynamite ending. This book will keep you turning pages and provide perfect entertainment for those who like a good who-dunnit. If you have never read Harlan Coben you have the pleasure of going and starting his Bolitar series--all entries are excellent.
Rating:  Summary: Superb thriller and page turner Review: Mr. Coben outdid himself this time! This novel had more twists and turns than a mountain road. Before you even read the first page, you might as well resign yourself to the fact that you won't move until you finish it. I was somewhat disappointed to find that Mr. Coben's book was not about Myron Bolitar as I had become very fond of him. Tell No One, however, is Mr. Coben's best story yet. Halfway through this book, I was asking, "Myron Who?" Imagine having your wife be your best friend since the age of seven and after a few months of marriage, she is dead. Eight years later you are still mourning her death only to find that she might not really be dead. Everywhere you turn to discover the truth, you are met with roadblocks and dishonesty. Nothing is what is seems and no one is who you thought they were. Friends aren't necessarily and help comes from the oddest places. The plot is so interwoven that you really need to read it with little or no knowledge just so you can enjoy the ride, and it is quite a ride - right up to the last page. The character development is outstanding. This is a book where you really have feelings about all of the characters - maybe not all are favorable, but feelings, nonetheless. Anyone who enjoys a fast-paced mystery filled with intrigue and surprise must read Tell No One. If you haven't read any of Coben's other books, you might even want to spend the rest of the summer with them. You won't be disappointed and you certainly won't be bored. I will be waiting with great anticipation for his next book.
Rating:  Summary: Taut and Lean Review: The book hits the road running and doesn't stop until sleep deprived, you arrive at the last plot twist and turn in this excellent tale of intrigue, fear and love. The characters are interesting and fairly well developed as the doctor hero attemps to unravel the mystery of his wife's presumed death before he is implicated in her murder. This was the prefect read for this insomniac.
Rating:  Summary: A FAST and FUN read! Review: Harlan Coben has really outdone himself this time! It's an amazing story with twists and turns down to the very last page. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone I know. Because of Harlan's wonderful use of words, there is nothing to graphic so it makes it a great gift!
Rating:  Summary: Another winner from a great author! Review: I first got hooked on Coben's books with his fabulous, funny Myron Bolitar series. Sometimes, it's the series you get hooked on, not so much the writer -- but in this case, Harlan Coben has proven that he can spin a yarn and create memorable characters from scratch. I envy those of you who are reading Coben for the first time, since you can go back and enjoy all his other great books. This was a wonderful read, and I highly recommend it!
Rating:  Summary: A EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT SUSPENSE THRILLER! Review: While some editorial reviews proclaim this book is not up to par with Coben's other literary works, I found it to be far superior to his previous books. With well-developed, realistic characters and lots of action, this book contains an element of similarity to the Alex Cross novels of James Patterson. Although "Tell No One" is perhaps not quite as spectatcular in comparison, it comes close and is certainly worth reading. David Beck marries his childhood sweetheart, Elizabeth Parker. Elizabeth is believed to be kidnapped and killed by a serial murderer known as, "Kill Roy." But...is this really what happened? Beck starts receiving e-mails, supposedly from Elizabeth. Is Elizabeth really alive or is this the evil madness of a demented mind? The police attempt to pin the murder on Beck, himself, while a group with more sinister motives tries to frame Beck for the murder of Elizabeth. What really happened? The answers lie in the bold conclusiion. The chilling plot is full of twists and turns that holds the reader's attention from start to finish. While Coben lacks the pragmatic writing style of Patterson, the author's unique mode of psychological suspense makes the book a capricious thriller you will not want to put down until the final page has been read.
Rating:  Summary: A SLAM BANG THRILLER Review: It has been eight horrible years that Dr. David Beck has had to live with the memory of what happened to his wife. What was supposed to be a romantic anniversary getaway at a family vacation spot turns into a nightmare as David's wife Elizabeth disappears...only to be found later - DEAD, the victim of serial killer KillRoy. As David struggles to get on with his life, he can't help but hope that his wife is still alive, even though KillRoy has confessed to the killing, and her body has been found and identified. But day after day he thinks of her, and hopes. Until one day he receives a email...one that uses a code only he and his wife knew about. Opening the email will plunge David into the heart of terror, as the message contains a strange link that features a video feed of his wife - present day - mouthing the words "I'm sorry"! Sickened by what he just saw, David wants to dismiss this a nasty joke, but the email gives specific instructions about the future messages he will receive, and if he wants to see his wife again, he better TELL NO ONE. Desperate to find out what is going on, especially if there is a chance of Elizabeth being alive, David enters into a deadly game where someone will kill to keep their secrets safe. 'Tell No One' is a slam bang page-turner that grabs hold on the first page and doesn't let go until the shocking climax. With it's well drawn characters, unbearable suspense, and stunning plot twists 'Tell No One' gives readers a night of non-stop action. Harlan Coben has written many great novels, but none as good as this one. His new novel has surpassed all expectations, and pushes him to a new level, one that ranks with John Sandford, and James Patterson. Destined to be a huge bestseller, and a must read beach book 'Tell No One' ranks as one of the better thrillers to come out in some time. A MUST read! Nick Gonnella
Rating:  Summary: A Real Fun Read! Review: Tell No One, Coben's first book outside his Myron Bolitar series, is one you won't want to miss. If possible, I would rate it '4 1/2' stars. In typical Coben fashion, his newest book moves along at the pace of a runaway train. Once you start Tell No One, its twist-filled plot, interesting characters, and subtely humorous, yet realistic dialogue will make you forget everything else around you. If you're a fan of the Bolitar series, you'll be more than pleased by having to wait for the series to continue. If this is your first Coben book, I think you'll agree that after reading Tell No One, you'll be adding Coben to your list of 'must read' authors.
Rating:  Summary: Great Summer Read! Review: "Tell No One" is my first Harlan Coben book. It truly is a fun and interest-grabbing pageturner. You'll want to read it straight through from start to finish to see how it all works out. I recommend this for light summer reading at the beach or while traveling but don't be surprised if you put off sight-seeing to complete the book!
Rating:  Summary: Tell Everyone...This Book Is Awesome Review: Just when you thoughts Harlan Coben couldn't get any better, he does. He continues his literary magic with this truly phenominal book. Coben, the mastermind behind the excellent Myron Bolitar mystery series, puts forth an amazing effort in TELL NO ONE. Meet Dr. David Beck, a loyal, caring doctor who lost his wife whom he has loved since the second grade, but manages to carry on. Left for dead himself, his wife, Elizabeth, is positively identified for dead as another victim of a serial killer. Eight years later, he receives an anonymous e-mail on the anniversary of their first kiss, leading him to believe that she may somehow still be alive. The twists and turns are a plentiful, and the adventure is one of non-stop excitement. Coben brings together a wonderful group of characters that all blend together incredibly nicely. From the drug-dealing yet good-hearted father, Tyrese, to special agent, Nick Carlson, this super cast of characters is so well-developed, you can't help but thoroughly enjoy this book. There are even a few familiar names from the Myron Bolitar series, but you'll have to read the book to find out. Overall, this novel is nothing less than spectacular. Coben's unique, yet thorough writing style shines ever so brightly in TELL NO ONE. The cogent storyline is well-developed, and the nerve-shattering suspense is outstanding, keeping you guessing until the unbelievable, surprise ending. It will not let you down.
