Re: FAMILIAR WITH HARLAN COBEN?

‎07-11-2018 06:36 PM

I have read several of Harlan Coben's books.  I have especially enjoyed the way he writes his endings.  Most of the time there are some twists and turns at the end of the story that I just did not see coming.  Every once-in-a-while though, one of his books disappoints me.  Sometimes the writing is not up-to-par.  I honestly believe that when an author gets popular, he gets an agent and a contract with a book company and he(or she) is under pressure to meet a deadline and produce a book, even if his heart is not in it at the time.

How funny .....    I looked up what he's written and thought that series was written for young adults, not grown ups.   Hmm.   I must have misunderstood.

I'm quite familiar with him. I've read at least 15 of his books & I'm reading one of his books right now. (The first book of the Myron Bolitar series) If you like mysteries I think you'll love him.
