Summary: 5 Stars
This is actually the first book I've read by Harlan Coben and it is one of the best I've ever read in my life. Coben tends to let you in on all parts of his story. He told everyone's point of view, their feeliings, their past, their encounters. He is very detailed. One the first page, I felt like I was the main character. You seem to feel how they feel. His modern dialouge in "The Innocent" also helped me to feel like the story could actually happen. I have not completely finished the book however I've but only received it yesterday and already halfway finished. Believe me, once you pick up this book, you won't put it down. periodBook Review: fabulous thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Nine years ago Matt Hunter tried to break up a fight between two college cronies when he accidentally killed one of the combatants. Matt spent four years in prison for involuntary manslaughter. Over the next five years, Matt rehabilitated his life, becoming a paralegal and getting married to Olivia, who loves him and is pregnant with his child.
Olivia calls on her video phone to enable Matt to see her wearing a blonde wig in a strange hotel room with an unknown man. Not long afterward that male stranger begins calling Matt, mocking him about his inability to keep his loving wife and snidely asking who is the father of the unborn Olivia carries is . While Matt struggles in disbelief that his treasured Olivia could have been playing a game of affection to abet in destroying him other seemingly unrelated incidents happen. Matt tries to become the predator rather than a scurrying rodent in a dangerous cat and mouse game.
Harlan Coben's aficionados always appreciate his hairpin twists, but this time might need more than JUST ONE LOOK at this fabulous thriller as the plot takes turns and detours that will shock everyone at the cost of believability but no one will care. The story line moves forward at a frantic pace with a beleaguered Matt wondering if he has NO SECOND CHANCE for what seemingly was a wonderful life that now seems so illus- ional. Readers will feel for the shell-shocked Matt, but enjoy every traumatic twirl that happens to him while rooting for him to successfully fight back. Wild and weaving all over the place, fans will take immense delight with this out of control serpentine plot.
Book Review: up to standards?
Summary: 4 Stars
Good but Coben has done better, I did enjoy it however even though the plot was far fetched and kind of hard to believe!
