Book Reviews of The Woods
Book Review: Another winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't put Harlan Coben books down! There's always a twist which is what makes them so exciting.Book Review: COBEN DOES IT AGAIN!
Summary: 4 Stars
Harlan Coben has done it again. Another slick, page-turning thriller with a truly satisfying conclusion. While not usually a fan of double story lines, I felt they worked here because both stories are interesting and each reveals aspects of the main character's personality and moral code both of which are vital to the novel. Coben is a terrific writer who never disappoints. Highly recommended.Book Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars
My first Harlan Coben read, but definitely not my last. Wonderful. Captivating. Well written. Suspenseful.Book Review: Couldn't put it down!
Summary: 5 Stars
The other day I was looking for something new to read. I asked for suggestions from friends, stating that I really wanting a mystery/suspense novel. Someone mentioned trying out Harlan Coben. Well, I've never read any of his books before, although I have seen them from time to time at the book store. One of the few that I could easily get my hands on right away was The Woods. I was immediately hooked!
The protagonist is Paul Copeland. 20 years ago, at summer camp, his sister and 3 other teens all snuck into the woods at night. The next day 2 of them were found dead. Paul's sister and one other teen were never found again, although some of their clothing was found. Paul has never really gotten over the events. How can you ever truly move on if you never find the body? There is always that small seed of hope. Some unexpected events cause him to start looking into the past, and Paul's life and emotions are taken on a wild ride.
I was hooked on this book from beginning to end. When you read a lot of mysteries, sometimes you can predict what the outcome of a particular book is. For this book, I never would have guessed it! There were so many fantastic twists and turns that the book took! And even after everything is over, and you think that you have learned it all, one last bombshell is dropped! I loved that Coben ended the book not telling us how that particular piece of information would affect everyone in the long run. This was a phenomenal story and I have ever intention of picking up another Coben novel! Loved it!
Book Review: Couldnt put it down
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! My girlfriends mother suggested she read it, then I happen to see it on our coffee table. I dont consider myself an "active" or "avid" reader... but after I read the first chapter I knew I wouldnt be able to sleep if I stopped. I read from 9:30pm to 4:30am!!!
