Tell No One Harlan Coben 9780440236702 Books

Simplistic, disjointed writing style that is very annoying! I was looking for a fictional author similar to Michael Connelly or John Grisham, Coben is not it.

Tell No One Harlan Coben 9780440236702 Books Reviews

I wanted to read a suspenseful, well-written book that had been well-edited. Tell No One fit the bill. The writing is mostly plot driven, not dependent on characterization or reflection as many British thrillers are. It is the original Gone Girl, but doesn't have the nasty revenge thread for the plot. This girl didn't want to disappear. The plot is feasible, but overly twisty at times. I am sure it made a great movie. I am ready to read The Stranger which is Harlan Coben's latest release.
Well-plotted action with likeable characters makes this an easy but interesting read. This is my first novel by Coben, but I will definitely read more. Mostly told in first-person, the novel relates the aftermath of a husband's life eight years after the murder of his wife when the neatly devised solution begins to fall apart. The shift in point of view the author used gives the reader more information that Beck, the protagonist, did not have; the author used the technique sparingly which makes it fairly effective without being distracting. The end had a nice twist which neatly wrapped up the various subplots. While not entirely believable, the novel didn't ask me to entirely suspend faith in reality just to enjoy the story. Great literature? Perhaps not, but definitely entertainment.
Harlan Coben is easily one of my favorite mystery writers. He has a knack for building suspense from the beginning of his books and building the tension until it’s almost unbearable. Tell No One is a perfect example of this skill. From the first page the reader knows something bad is going to happen. Even as Coben weaves a strand of romance through his introduction of Dr. David Beck and his wife Elizabeth as they go for an anniversary drive, there is an underlying note of danger that will make you hold your breath.
As David remembers their thirteenth anniversary, glimmers of warning shift into the memories. By the end of the first chapter the foundation of the tale. I already felt as though I knew the happy couple. The story picks up eight years later as Dr. Beck cares for his patients in a low-income neighborhood. He’s everyone’s dream of a good guy, a doctor who cares more about his patients than making big bucks. He’s the kind of character you root for from the beginning. And when he is thrust into situations where painful memories are rejuvenated you ache for him.
The good doctor starts receiving mysterious e-mails and they send him into a tail spin. Although warned to tell no one, he is desperate to talk about the bizarre occurrences. Is his beloved wife Elizabeth alive or is someone playing a terrible and cruel joke on him? And who can he trust?
This is a brilliantly woven tale of dark secrets, deadly misunderstandings, and a love that won’t die. Even when things seem most bleak, David hangs on by a thread, desperate to believe Elizabeth has survived. But why has she been hiding for eight years and why won’t she come out now?
Most people have favorite characters in the books they read. While all the characters in this book have solid personalities, my favorite is Tyrese Barton. The only thing I’ll say about him is he reminds me a lot of guys I knew growing up in New York City. I think Coben must know the people in the neighborhood where I was raised, and I thank him for representing Tyrese with a raw honesty that gives a genuine picture of New York “gangstas”.
There is a delightful twist at the end of the book that I confess took me completely by surprise. There was a secret hinted at throughout the book and I believed I had figured it out. But Coben tricked me again and I’m grateful.
Mystery lovers, readers who need suspense with the flavor of reality, and the kind of tension that makes you clench your teeth and stay awake all night reading, need to grab a copy of this book and settle in for a ride down a dark and dirty road.
Harlen Coben is easily my favorite storyteller, hands down. His stories are so unique and intriguing. There is so much going on, but he blends everything together so seamlessly, and although the plot is CRAZY (in the best way possible), it also sounds very believable because of the effort Coben takes to fact check things in the character's professions. He uses adequate terminology and jargon to make it feel as though a real doctor or lawyer (or whatever professional) is telling the story. With all the various twists and unexpected turns, it is impossible to put his books down! This one in particular was an edge of your seat thriller; exactly what I'd expect of Harlen Coben ) seriously guys, the story reads like a movie! So interesting, and sooo much going on, but never once does it feel confusing, or like the author is jumping around too much. Transitions between characters and plot twists are executed beautifully!
I usually don't write 5-star reviews because I don't read them and I don't think many people do. But I have to leave a 5-star for one of my all time favorite books.

I had never heard of Harlan Coben and happened to see a signed copy of this in a bookstore. I bought it just because it was signed and the story looked good. Yes, I am THAT shallow. ) This is one of those books that I keep handy and read again and again and again....

Lots of others have described what the book is about. I'll just say that I read a lot. I am rarely shocked. The ending of this book had me GOBSMACKED. It was amazing.
One of the best thriller books I have ever read! Kept me so interested with unpredictable twists and turns! Plus no vulgar language or sex which was nice. Made for an enjoyable easy beach read I thoughorlly enjoyed!! Ordered more of his books! I like his style and the way he writes with some humor and current word plays.
Simplistic, disjointed writing style that is very annoying! I was looking for a fictional author similar to Michael Connelly or John Grisham, Coben is not it.
