Summary: This is a MUST read!!!!
Review: I just finished this book. It took me one sitting. Harlan Coben is an author that I have recently started to read and this book is the perfect example why. The character development is wonderful and there is a plot twist that I never saw coming. This is a GREAT read and I would recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ultimate in Suspense
Review: You can't put this book down from the minute you start reading it. Just as you think you have it figured out..it turns. I recently began reading Harlan Coben and I was instantly hooked. He leaves you guessing until the very end. Highly Recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unbelievable Pageturner
Review: I absolutely loved this book along with all of the other Harlan Coben books. I could not put it down and finished it in one day. The book keeps moving from beginning to end with twists and turns around every corner! A must read for all mystery lovers!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fast-moving, well-written thriller
Review: Harlan Coben's latest stand-alone sure kept me guessing. As with
_Tell No One_, he's constructed a plot here that contains twists and turns and new surprises all the way to the last page. In fact, there are almost too many twists and turns--the book, at times, reads like he was thinking to himself "Ha, they'll never
see this one coming!" It's to his credit that the book holds together.

Will Klein, whose brother Ken is suspected in the murder of Will's former girlfriend eleven years previously, and who has been on the run ever since, is suddenly faced with evidence that the brother he'd thought dead is actually still alive. Will's new girlfriend, Sheila Rogers, disappears one night and her disappearance somehow seems to be linked to Ken. As Will and his friend Squares, a Covenant House driver/counselor and yoga master, investigate, they discover that Sheila was not quite what she appeared to be and she may indeed have had a connection to Will's murdered girlfriend.

It takes awhile for all the threads to come together in this complicated book, but it was worth sticking with it. _Gone For Good_ is a fast-moving story with a variety of unusual and unsavory characters. Coben does a good job of misdirecting our expectations here and he creates a pretty memorable psycho-killer character in John "the Ghost" Asselta, who may not be all that psycho after all. Recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's A Rollecoaster Ride
Review: After reading "Tell No One", I was addicted to Harlan Coben, so I approached this one with a good deal of trepidation, mainly for the reason the story sounded so similar...Was I wrong!! This is a thrilling piece of fiction, a rollercoaster ride than keeps up until the totally surprising and unexpectedly touching(for a thriller, anyway)ending. I just have one gripe...maybe I'm dense, but will someone explain the epilogue???

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enduring Suspense
Review: Murder, drug trafficking, old friendships, and mafia-like connections are but a few elements that tie together to make this a thriller until the final paragraph.

Growing up in northern New Jersey, Will Klein had always admired his older brother Ken. But Ken has been gone for eleven years, presumably dead, after he was accused of murdering Will's former girlfriend, Julie Miller. On her deathbed, Will's mother, Sunny, confesses that Ken is alive and shows Will a recent photograph of Ken.

Not sure where to turn, Will seeks solace in his relationship with girlfriend, Sheila Rogers, a volunteer at Covenant House, a NYC runaway shelter where Will works alongside his friend and yoga guru, Squares. And when Sheila turns up missing with the FBI hot on her tracks, Will's world is turned upside down. Ken's former neighborhood buddies, John Asselta, the Ghost, and Philip McGuane enter the picture with their violent desire to locate Ken.

Believing his brother to be innocent, Will embarks on a quest to locate Ken as well as the missing Sheila. What he does uncover is devastating evidence that everything he has always thought to be true is not at all what it seemed'.

Mr. Coben's writing is straightforward, no flowery prose here. There is never-ending suspense as mysteries are unraveled and secrets are revealed. The relationship of the supporting characters to one another is like a puzzle that needs that missing piece before the picture is crystal clear.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mystery fans rejoice - we have a WINNER!
Review: Gone For Good by Harlan Coben is one of the best reads you will have for yourself in a very long time. It is fast paced, does not give away the ending and full of suprises. It is AWESOME.
I am off the buy all his other titles!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Harlan Coben Book Ever
Review: This mystery was the most facinating, intrigueing novel that I have ever read. I know people will say that, as in most mysteries, the last chapter is pivotal, but I was shocked in the VERY LAST PARAGRAPH, let alone the last chapter. This book is a can't miss. It is a must. GONE FOR GOOD will not dissappoint.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: Wow. That is all I can say. I started reading harlan Coben with Tell No One and could not wait until this was published. This is a dark story centered around our main character enjoying life, loving his job, his girlfriend, everything, but when his mother dies things start to unravel. His past is brought back to him: the rape and murder of his highschool girlfriend and the disappearance of his brother. When his current girlfriend vanishes the search begins leading up to an ending that will take you completely by surprise. I loved this book! I read it in one day, staying up all night to finish it because I was so scared I couldnt sleep anyway and so curious to find out what really happened that I couldnt wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Twists and Turns
Review: Although the premise is similar to his previous book, Tell No One, Coben once again delivers a fast-paced and exciting read. There are more twists than a roller coaster and just when you think you have it figured out, Coben proves you wrong. This thoroughly entertaining book will be a great beach read this summer.
