Summary: Well Written But Plotline Too Implausable
Review: The premise of the book held much promise, and the story was well told, but the amount of twists, turns, double and triple crosses started to get very tedious towards the end. Not too difficult to follow, but after awhile you find yourself thinking, "yeah, every day" if you know what I mean. I probably won't buy any other works by this author.

Summary: I never write reviews
Review: I never write reviews, but for this book I have to. I read this book in about 10 hours. I didn't expect to but I couldn't put it down. Something kept happening and there was a surprise just every few pages. It had enough in it to keep me going and I could not stop until I had closure just like the characters in the book.

Summary: A THRILLER IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD
Review: This is the first novel I have ever read by this author, but it won't be my last. I'm not even a big fan of the thriller, but this book may have finally gotten me hooked to the genre. This story about a Sad Sack name Will, who loses not only his first love to murder, but also his second, will keep you riveted to the edge of your seat by mid-way through. There are so many twists that it's hard to keep up with who is a bad guy and who isn't. I won't say more because I don't want to give away the plot. I recommend it highly!

Summary: Hey Reader from Portland
Review: In reference to the last page and the mysterious article - without giving anything away, think of it as a gift from the Ghost to Will....with regards to Nora. Hope that helps!

Summary: All but the very last page???
Review: LIke many of you - I found this to be a great escape - but falling second to Tell No One. I loved the twists and turns - and I could go with the ending - EXCEPT I am completely puzzled by the newspaper article . .clues??? I have passed the book along so I can't keep searching - but I must say, the book stuck with me enough that I keep puzzling over that article??

Summary: It was better than Tell No One, another book he wrote
Review: You can tell he isn't Jewish even though the characters in this book are supposed to be, but it's lacking there. It keeps you on your toes with suspense. The only bad thing is that he gives so many details about every single thing, but in the end it is summed up so quickly that you feel like some areas must have been cut by the editor. I would recommend it.

Summary: Not bad for a light read....
Review: When I'm assigned books to read for school, they're often so heavy and make you think a lot. When I'm doing "pleasure reading," I like enjoyable experiences that won't bend my mind too harshly. I enjoyed Harlan Coben's "Gone for Good," although at times I felt the writing was too informal (like James Patterson). However, I read it faster than any other book in a long while, so that says something for it. I appreciated the plot twists, and the familial relationship within. This is the first book by Coben I've read, and I'll probably give TELL NO ONE a shot next.

Summary: Wow!
Review: There's only one word to describe this book...amazing! Harlan Coben just keeps getting better. My only complaint is no Myron :-) Bring back Myron, bring back Myron....

Summary: Suspenceful and gut wrenching...
Review: Harlan Coben's "Gone For Good" kept me up reading until 4 a.m., and the hairs were standing up on the back of my head as I worked through the tough and emotionally satisfying last fifty pages. Everything comes together neatly, but it is rough terrain to get there. Will Klein, the novel's protagonist, is a figure not considered much in famous murder cases: the sibling left behind after the glare of media attention has died down. His brother, Ken, has been on the run from a murder charge for years, and the family's reputation has been destroyed by the specter of accusation, a scene painted as the novel opens at Will's mother's poorly attended funeral. Will has found love with a woman, Sheila, he met through his work at Covenant House, but she soon disappears and is found dead. From there, this book is a breakneck series of twists and turns. Like any well plotted mystery, the reader senses where the book is going without being able to put a finger on it. That Will's brother and Sheila's death are somehow connected is clear, and other subplots involving two nefarious childhood friends of Ken's, both of whom are connected to a crime web, seem involved as well. How this all ties up is what keeps the pages turning, up until the heart-in-your-throat final 50. I loved this book.
