COMMENTS ON "TELL NO ONE"

Coben's latest thriller is the book everyone should take to the beach this summer, Tell everyone to read TELL NO ONE. Highly recommmended.“
-- Library Journal

“Intricate plot twists keep pace with Beck as he desperately seeks proof that his wife did not die at the hands of a serial killer who nearly did him in as well. More than halfway through this book, I forced myself to read slowly. I wanted to savor every clue, every detail, and I NEVER WANTED IT TO END. There are numerous aspects to the clincher ending, with surprises in store for the reader until the very last page.”
-- USA TODAY

Easily shifting from suspense to pathos, Coben expertly plumbs the intensity of mouring and the painful game of “what if” that comes with Beck's spark of hope, Coben has crafted a beach read so gripping it ought to come with a jumbo tube of sunscreen. Bottom line: TELL EVERYONE.”
-- People Magazine Beach Book of the Week

“Harlan Coben's Tell No One begins at a run and in no time is moving at an all-out sprint, the characters are engaging and the strange goings-on will leave readers rapidly turning pages in search of fresh clues, Coben writes with wit and a shrewd sense of plotting.”
-- San Francisco Chronicle

I don't remember the last time I felt so driven to finish a novel. And the final 30 pages, well, you'll see, Try to read TELL NO ONE slowly enough to appreciate Coben's writing. It will be hard. But try.”
-- St. Petersburg Times


I CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON

I havent read anything by Coben or even heard about him but i think i'll go look now. Seeing thas picture of his/her book cover reminded me of another good writer. . . .Jeffery Deaver, he wrote the Bone Collector starring Denzel Washington and also wrote some other book that i cant quite remember the title right now.

Robert Ludlum ROCKS!!!Frank Peretti is DA BOMB(I didnt like his last novel-Monster)
I have a Ludlum library-nothing less than 15 of his books.But Ive read almost all
@3dhunter and Apocalypse
Yeah there is a fourth Bourne.Its called the Bourne Legacy.I bought it before I even realised he wasnt the author.It was written by Eric Van Lustbader but I still havent read it(Ive had it for 5 months now).I guess Im just obsessed with Ludlum.
I started with pacesetters(back in primary) befor moving to Chase.I read nothing less than 60 JHC's before the plot started looking similar.
I was feeling the same way with Ludlum but he knocked me off with 'The Prometheus Deception'.
Thats my best Ludlum yet, Ill recommend it.
Ive read David Baldacci's 'winner' and I wasnt impressed.
I also read Sidney Sheldon's 'rage of angels' and I feel the guy is a littled hyped

No body talks about the collected masterpieces of Vitastraka

My all tym authors

Apocalypse how can you say The Partner is best of Grisham? You should read the Runaway Jury and The Firm. Meanwhile Hardly Chase is for starters. THE CHARM SCHOOL and THE ABSOLUTE POWER all by David Baldaci, they are mind blowers

@SMC

Why are treating Vitastraka like this?

Have you checked in the stores near you for my works?

We are supposed to be friends,
