Von Krimitante
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
aber nicht wirklich ein Reisser, wie einige seiner anderen Bücher.
Die Story selbst war für mich interessant, fand ich aber nicht wirklich tiefgründig gezeichnet. Oder anders ausgedrückt, man ist von anderen seiner Bücher mehr Dreidimensionalität gewöhnt. Zwar hat jede Figur eine eigene Hintergrundgeschichte, jedoch fehlt das Quentchen, das einen die Charaktäre im Buch mitleben(fühlen) lässt.
Daher gibt es diesmal nur vier von fünf Sternchen. Was natürlich auch daran liegt, dass ich nach einem knappen Drittel ahnte, wer der "Böse" ist.
Für jeden, der nur einen guten Krimi lesen will, kann ich das Buch nur empfehlen. Denn auch ein "nicht so guter Harlan Coben" ist lesenswert.
Jene, die wie ich, von Harlan Coben "thrillertechnisch verwöhnt " sind, sollten wissen, dass dies zwar keines seiner ganz schlechten Bücher ist, es aber mit den Topbänden nicht mithalten kann.
Solide Krimikost halt, nur leider nicht mehr.

Just wasn't compelling...
22. März 2012
Von MED

Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I usually love Coben - the Myron Bolitar books are must reading for me. His stand alone novels have always been winners as well. This book just didn't have that 'can't put this down' feeling.
The story is a simple one - two people affected by an event in the past are on a collision course with the truth. Ray is a down and out photographer who can't get the images of one night seventeen years ago out of his mind. Megan is a soccer mom with a secret past.
When an Atlantic City man goes missing the pattern is just too familiar. The police link the current case to a man who went missing seventeen years before. Following the clues brings together a group of people who share a shady lifestyle and personal secrets.
There were some cliche characters and the writing lacked the snappy, crisp dialogue I have come to expect from Coben. I thought the story bogged down at times.
Just ok.

Best Coben Book I've Read So Far
21. März 2012
Von Michael Gallagher
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I had pre-ordered this for my Kindle several months ago, and I had cleared the deck of my reading material two days before the release as, after all, I didn't want to be in the middle of reading something when it was released.
It was more than well-worth the wait, and probably one of the better Harlan Coben books I have read.
Coben does his usual job with his non-Myron Bolitar series with twists and turns, several things going on at once, then weaving it all into one big plot line: just when you think you have it figured out he hits you with a baseball bat, takes a hard right turn, and brings in a new plot twist that you didn't see coming that leave you with an "a-ha" moment.
One thing that makes Coben stand out (to me at least) is how he can quickly get you into the head of not only the main character, but the supporting cast as well. I don't know how he does it, but you can personally relate to most of the characters as some type of vision of yourself, or extensions of the circle of friends and acquaintances you have in your life.
Kindle purists will probably slam this book for being priced more than $9.99, but believe me when I tell you that you will get more than $9.99 worth of value with this book - I certainly did. Coben has solidified his mastery of the mystery and thriller genre with this title, and I would absolutely love to see more of these standalone thrillers than a continuation of the Bolitar series!

Big Disappointment
29. März 2012
Von Jack Bauer
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a long-time Harlan Coben fan, I eagerly awaited this book. Sadly it was a huge disappointment. His books have always hooked me right from page one and that didn't happen this time. I found the characters unlikable. Why would an ex-stripper who has pulled herself up out of that hard life find herself missing that? I could not bring myself to care about Megan or root for her in any way. A few times I swore I couldn't read any more but I struggled to stay with it - hoping it would pick up and he would give us some of the old Harlan. But finally I gave up - something I rarely do - especially after spending $15 for the Kindle edition. I just couldn't make myself read any more. I hope Mr. Coben tries again as he has always been my favorite author. Sadly this book just didn't measure up for me.
