A light holiday read - fast paced and with lots of twists and turns. You know what you are getting with Harlan Coben. Yes it's far fetched, but enjoyable nonetheless.

I found this too far-fetched and unbelievable. It was all wrapped up too nicely at the end too.

Nothing special about this quick, simplistic read. Intriguing premise is bogged down with simplistic writing and lack of character development.
It all wraps up like a neat and tidy package. Nothing substantial. Maybe a beach read, if you'd like a forgettable, low commitment thriller/mystery book.

I was introduced to [a:Harlan Coben|24689|Harlan Coben|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1297818941p2/24689.jpg]'s terrific writing style through his Myron Bolitar series. I fell in love with the humor Coben injects into his writing. In my opinion it takes real intelligence to write witty repartee. Coben does it expertly in the Bolitar series and continues that same expertise in his new book [b:Six Years|15811568|Six Years|Harlan Coben|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348406182s/15811568.jpg|21536832].
The book is a mystery-thriller with a love story backbone. Six Years is the kind of book I treasure, where the main character shows true feeling but also there's a kick ass mystery to be had as well. I love good character development, you get to know the why's and the how's of the character all while a rollicking, fast paced mystery happens. In Six Years the book opens with a heartbreaking romantic interlude. The main character, Jake Fisher falls madly in love with Natalie. They spend three glorious months in a remote retreat but then Natalie abruptly ends the relationship and marries another man several days later. She tells Jake to leave her and her new husband alone, never contact them again. Jake, now a broken hearted man, agrees to leave her alone, forever.
Six years later everything changes and Jake decides to break his long held promise and seek out the only woman he ever loved. What Jake doesn't know is by looking Natalie up he's opening a can of worms that he will not be able to close again. A fast paced and suspenseful story unfolds with twists and turns that keep you wanting to know more.
This is one of those books that you just can't put down because each page offers a new and interesting twist that furthers the story along. Six Years was an excellent read, a five star mystery-thriller with a romantic lean that keeps you guessing, cheering for the good guy, hoping for the fairytale outcome and reading well into the night. I highly reccomend this book or any other Harlen Coben book for that matter!
