 Brilliant August 3, 2008
Well this is by far the best book I have read for years, so much so that I am writing this review. The book tells an amazing story that is well written and in such a way that it is incredibly difficult to put down, I will definetly buy more of this author and a very recommended book!!!
 Not His Best, but an OK Read July 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've now read 6 Harlan Coben novels and he is currently one of my favourite authors. I only gave this book - The Woods - 3 stars, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it at all. Compared to his other books I've read I found this one only worthy of 3 stars instead of the 4 or 5 ratings I've given to his previous novels.
Maybe I'm getting more used to Coben's style and formula, I'm not really sure, but I found The Woods to be a lot more predictable than his previous works. The twists and turns were not as intricate or ambiguous. I tended to see what was coming before it happened. And occassionally there seemed to be a sudden, unexpected twist that didn't really seem to make a lot of sense in the overall context of the plot. Some almost contrived twists in an attempt to make it less predictable. The pace was definitely slower in this novel too.
These are just my own personal views. Everything aside, I still enjoyed reading the book and I would recommend reading The Woods if you are a fan of the genre. I just feel that Coben fans (like myself) might be a touch disappointed with this one compared to earlier works.

MY FIRST COBEN BUT NOT MY LAST July 4, 2008
This is my first Harlan Coben book and I took it on holiday with me. Like other reviewers, I enjoyed the plot very much and all the twists and turns kept me gripped from the start. Unfortunately it got me so hooked I finished the book in a couple of days, which left me with nothing else to read for the rest of the holiday! For my next holiday I will be taking a large number of Coben's books which I'm sure will be equally as good as The Woods. Highly recommended.
Brilliant read!!! June 22, 2008
This is the first of Harlan Coben's books that I have read and it got me hooked right from the start. So many twists and turns and the characters just jump out of the page. To date my favourite author is Lee Child but I have just found another to add to the list! Highly recommended.
engrossing and fun read May 21, 2008
I always enjoy reading harlan Cobens books as they are engrossing page turners and witty at the same time. I really enjoyed this book and was always thinking ahead trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Definetly recommended for its twist and turns and suprises along the way..
