Editorial Review of Gone for Good
As a boy, Will Klein had a hero: his older brother, Ken. Then, on a warm suburban night in the Kleins’ affluent New Jersey neighborhood, a young woman—a girl Will had once loved—was found brutally murdered in her family’s basement. The prime suspect: Ken Klein. With the evidence against him overwhelming, Ken simply vanished. And when his shattered family never heard from Ken again, they were sure he was gone for good.
Now eleven years have passed. Will has found proof that Ken is alive. And this is just the first in a series of stunning revelations as Will is forced to confront startling truths about his brother, and even himself. As a violent mystery unwinds around him, Will knows he must press his search all the way to the end. Because the most powerful surprises are yet to come.

Review Summary: excellent thriller
Review: This is my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it very much. It's the story of Will Klein, a social worker in Manhattan whose life changed 11 years ago when his brother was accused of killing Will's ex-girlfriend. The story begins when Will's mother, dying of cancer, tells him that his brother (who's been missing and presumed dead for those 11 years), is alive. Shortly afterward, Will's soulmate disappears and is implicated in a double homicide in another state.
The story is interesting and filled with lots of plot twists and fascinating characters. If there was any fault it was in the too goody-goody narrative voice, but that naivete was important to the story, and I would happily read another book by this author.

Review Summary: Amazing Plot Twists
Review: This book is absolutely fantastic. Harlan Coben has a great writing style and this novel filled with twists right up to the very last page. This is the first of Coben's novels that I've read but it looks like they all have solid reviews. I'm definately a fan and plan to read all of his novels.

Review Summary: Wow!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It is a lot better than his other series on the sports agent. Very interesting ending. I listened to it on CD.

Review Summary: Wow, even better than Tell No One
Review: I didn't think that Coben would be able to top his work from Tell No One, but he did. The plot in this one was even more complex and you had just as much invested in the main character. You really felt like you got to know Will and the pain he went through. Coben used a very similar formula in this book as he did in Tell No One and The Innocent, but it's a great one. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it is certainly one of the most engrossing and thrilling books I have ever read. Well done Sir, again.

Review Summary: Book version of a lifetime movie
Review: "GFG" is a fast paced novel with lots of twist and turns that keep going til the end of the book, perhaps a few too many of them than what was necessary to keep this one interesting. Its not a terrible novel, but with what i believe to be the wimpiest main character ive ever read in a book, it just reminded me of those really lame lifetime movies on the cable networks. For awhile there I kept thinking the main guy was a woman, for the over the top sensibilities and just plain wussiness that just seem to ooze from this character.
Im used to reading bout guys like "Mitch Rapp" or "Gabriel Allon" so this was a major adjustment to a guy who likes "ahem" the male characters to be more like "ahem again" men.
Not a bad novel, but not all that great either and wont make it to my personal "gotta keep this one" shelf.
Like I said, it would make for a typical lifetime movie, not much more.
