This was the 1st I read, than I got into the Myron series-which I may add, are totally amazing!

Gone for Good - Harlan Coben

blah blah blah blah...booor-ing....

I've read other novels by Harlan Coben. The only reason I gave this one two stars was because I did, in fact, finish it, but barely. Lord, he does go on. And hasn't any writing professor at Amherst ever mentioned to him that a cliff-hanger a second is a second too many? Frankly, I didn't give a rat's a--s about Sheila. Coben's female characters are fairly dull and one-dimensional compared to the men. That's typical of male writers. The only really good female character in the book COULD have been Will's mother, but she died, unfortunately, and all we have are a few piquant memories. Anyway, the book was far too long for no reason. And the Ghost (so relentlessly, tediously grotesque you want to say 'Oh, come off it!) , the airy-fairy lost brother - the FBI goons - it's all just one humongous, totally improbable stretch. I finished it cause I needed something to read while the library was closed, and I'm actually embarrassed to admit I didn't just put the darned thing down and go to a movie.

Harlan Coben - Gone for Good

Maybe 4 and 9/10 stars

I dare you to find more twists than in this book! Once again, great characters and an interesting plots that keeps you guessing and reguessing all the way. Just when you think that Coben has revealed what's been going on, something else happens again...and then again. Such a fast read, this one will take no time to finish. Highly recommended along with Tell No One.
