Summary: Point of View
Review: I bought the book because a review I read of it compared Mr. Coben to Raymond Chandler. I think that probably Mr. Coben is trying to write like Raymond Chandler, and maybe he does later in the book. I put it down after only 26 pages, however, and don't plan to take it up again because of the lack of a consistent point of view. Mr. Coben jumps from one character's point of view to another, then to omniscient point of view, then to authorial p.o.v. The thing that decided me not to finish the book, however, was when he switched point of view within a sentence. I was sad not to finish the book because I think Mr. Coben has a fine feel for keeping tension alive, but I was just to distracted by the p.o.v. issue.

Summary: A great book,I can't wait for the next one.
Review: I discovered this series through amazon and read all his books in a 2 week period. I loved them all and hope he has another book out in the near future.

Summary: You need to have 10 stars for this book, not 5!
Review: I don't know how H. Coben does it, but each Myron Bolitar book is better than the last. Personally, I'm glad Myron may be finally finally ending it with Jessica. He'd be better off with Big Cyndi (I'm sure she's the kids/suburbs type, if she'd just let herself go for it). Whenever I get Coben's latest, I know I have to set aside the rest of the day or evening to read it, because you can't put the book down! Physically and psychically impossible (does the FDA know about this? Must be something in the ink). I've yet to figure out whodunit in any of his books (frustrating, but I'm going to keep trying - so hurry up and write book #7, Harlan - I'm a fanatic and I'm desperate! ) I know he's already covered basketball, tennis, baseball, golf - but PLEASE don't cover HOCKEY. Bleah. How about figure skating? Now that would take some talent.

Summary: Get it...Read it...Enjoy it....
Review: I have to say that Harlan Coben has written one of the best mysterr series that I hve ever read. The Final Detail is no exception. The humor and twists in this book(in the entire series for that matter) are top notch. The characters jump off the page and the lines are laugh out loud funny. Harlan Coben is definitly on my "Look For" list.

Summary: I've read all the Bolitar books & this is my favorite!!
Review: I just finished The Final Detail and loved it. Harlan Coben writes books that I can't put down. I've read and thoroughly enjoyed the whole Myron Boliar series. I strongly recommend all Coben's books and especially this one.

Summary: Enjoyable
Review: I liked this much more than The Darkest Fear, and wonder if there is a disadvantage in reading the series backwards. Maybe I should have begun the Coben series from the first book instead of the last.

Summary: ONCE AGAIN MY HOME-BOY HARLAN COBEN ROCKS!
Review: I READ THIS BOOK IN THREE (3) HOURS! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! FOR THOSE OF YOU NON-COBENATICS LISTEN UP! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO READ ABOUT THE WORLD'S FUNNIEST, HONEST AND LOYAL-TO-A-FAULT SPORTS AGENT, MYRON BOLITAR! SINCE THE PLOT OF THE BOOK PUTS MYRON'S PARTNER AND BEST FRIEND ESPARANZA IN JEOPARDY, I KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE BEST OF THE SERIES AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THE MAIN REASON I READ THIS SERIES IS FOR THE CHARACTERS. EVERY CHARACTER IS HUMAN, NOT SUPER HEROES SAVING THE DAY. NO ONE IS WRITTEN IN BLACK AND WHITE. EVERY CHARACTER IS COMPLEX, EVEN MYRON BOLITAR, THE HERO OF THIS SERIES HAS SOME MAJOR FLAWS. BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS SERIES SO APPEALING. I WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED THAT BIG CYNDI WAS GIVEN A MAJOR ROLE IN THIS BOOK AND I HOPE MR. COBEN UTILIZES HER GREAT TALENTS IN THE FUTURE BOOKS. I AM READY TO RESERVE A COPY OF THE NEXT MYRON BOLITAR NOVEL RIGHT NOW! SO MR. COBEN STAY TRUE TO YOUR NEW JERSEY ROOTS AND GET WORKING ON THE BOLITAR NOVEL (IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED IT ALREADY).

Summary: Getting tiresome and bored
Review: I think that reading a "Series" would just like writing a "Series," sooner or later, the business-as-usual, same-old-same-old xxx feeling would inevitably knock on your door. The most obvious sample is the "Spencer Series." This Myron Bolita one is also alike. I'm getting bored as the writer himself, both came up to a bottle-neck jaming point. I'm tired of kept reading Coben's repeating descriptions of those key characters' resume' again and again; tired of his endeavor of trying to create a "Hawk"-like "Win;" tired of his going-nowhere romances... But still, this series could go a longer way if Coben could reconstruct this Series comprehensively. You don't have to re-introduce these characters' backgrounds or family histories again and again just trying to give all possible new readers an "orientation." You really don't and shouldn't need to repeat these kind of crap again and again. Because if a reader like me who happened to randomly grap one of your "Bolita Series" and found it interesting, he or she would go thru Amazon.com to buy more of it-old or newest ones. It doesn't matter. These "Re-Runs(Cut&Paste)" would only slow down the pace(tempo, flow) and the continuity of a should-be-well-told story; just like the phone rings when you're doning bed romance. Got it?

Summary: Great character development
Review: I've enjoyed all of the books in the Bolitar series, and I keep thinking the next one can't possibly be better, then Harlan does it again. The Final Detail was not only an enjoyable story, but it gave me new insights into the characters. Myron might seem more flawed to me now, but certainly not less appealing. I highly recommend this series, especially The Final Detail. Be prepared to finish it the day you pick it up, because you won't be able to put it back down.

Summary: Good, but not the best.
Review: Myron Bolitar has messed up and run away to the Caribbean to try and escape his guilt. He told no one where he was going but three weeks later Win has tracked him down and Myron realises that this can only mean one thing, trouble. Esperanza, Myron's close friend and business partner has been arrested for murder and she's refusing to talk to anyone but her lawyer. Convinced that no matter what the evidence seems to point to Esperanza is not a murderer, Myron is determined to prove her innocence even if she doesn't want him to get involved. But the more Myron discovers about the crime, the more questions he has. Who killed Clu Haid? What is Esperanza keeping from him? And what is the connection to Lucy Mayor the missing daughter of the billionaire owner of the New York Yankees? In this sixth Myron Bolitar mystery, all the usual characters put in an appearance, fans of Big Cyndi will be able to get to know her a little better, and there's the usual witty dialogue between Myron and Win all of which makes reading this novel like putting on a pair of well worn comfortable slippers or talking to an old friend. This novel would probably have got a five star rating from me but I can't help but compare it to the other Bolitar novels, some of which I thought were fantastic. In my opinion, this is good but no quite so good. Nevertheless, this is a great read which I would recommend.
