Great book November 11, 2008
Avid Reader
I really enjoyed this book. The last one Fade Away was the better written and certainly deserved the award. I dont agree with the reviewer who criticised the 80s humour - I enjoyed the time-specific references which I thought added to the overall effect - but maybe that is because I understood all the references. The stories are a bit far-fetched in places but for me that didnt detract from my enjoyment. The story is pretty much the same in the first two books and I guessed the ending in these two. As they had been written as self-standing books quite a bit of repetition of contextual information that got irritating. Each story was a good read but the reason I gave it only 4 stars as I am not sure it works as a compendium. They would be better read with a bit of a break in between. Will certainly read more books by Harlan Coben.

I picked up the name of Harlam Coben after following a recommendation fromAmazon in relation to the James Patterson Novels that I have been reading.From the very start, this book gripped me. The characters are strong, yetfunny, with lots of satire & humour thrown in. The true star of the bookis the main characters sidekick 'Winthorpe'.
It's worth reading the books just for when he appears & the ending to the'Fade Away' is truley excellent. It's quite a meaty read when you read 3novels in one, but I guarantee you that the time will literally fly.

I'll keep it simple. Harlan Coben is my favourite writer and Myron Bolitar's novels are all full of twists, action, irony and feeling. If you like Patterson, Deaver etc then you will love Coben. In this trilogy we learn about Bolitar's past and the complexities of the present. Gripping yet funny enough to let you see that all the characters are (well, can be anyway!) real and everyone has their own personal problems.

A poorly written book, predictably plotted with out dated humour. Tries to hard to be funny. Not in the same league as Robert Crais or Michael Connelly. Stricly second devision !

A badly written book, childish plots and second hand humour. Not in the same league as Robert Crais or Michael Connelly.
