Darkest Fear

Summary: A real churner - don't wait for the paperback.
Review: Whoa -- this is a book that kept me up 'til the wee hours, pounding back page after page. (I love it when that happens, and it hardly ever does.) Coben's protagonist, Myron Bolitar, faces possible death on two fronts: his father's and his just-discovered son's. Tenderly and with wrenching insight, Coben plumbs the ties between Myron and his loving, devoted father in the wake of the latter's heart attack. It brought me to tears. While Myron's situation with his father calls for a gentle approach, the crisis faced by Myron's son calls for furious love, and boy, does Myron deliver, with an assist from Wyn. Coben's very very best yet.

Summary: This is the second book I read from Harlan Coben
Review: Yes, there was a lot of strange twist and turns that didn't make a whole lot of sense, although it was different. Mryon is approached by his "ex" to help her save her son's life. She then drops the bombshell. He's shell shocked when he learns the boy is his son. He begins to help find the donor that would save his son's life which took a lot strange twist and turns, only to have the donor "taken away". During all of this, a unique bond is developed between is own father and son. It's one of those unwritten, non-mushy male bonding only we males understand. It is a heart-felt story to let people know that there are others who need Bone Marrow Donors. I've read Tell No One, and it's still #1 with me.
