Not a bad book, a bit slow and plodding from time to time, but overall an interesting read and I enjoyed it.
Don't expect the level of actions that you'd find in a typical MYRON BOLITAR book, this is MICKEY, his nephew who is a sixteen year old in high school... thus he's not going to have the kind of adventures that Myron and Win have.
Myron is a character in this one, however, but he's very low key and you can tell the author moved him to the back burner.
Overall, a great book.

Kept me interested throughout the story! Felt the connection with the characters...I'd read the rest of the series.
This basically began where the latest (last?) Myron Bolitar novel (Live Wire) left off, but features Myron's nephew Mickey. The story is told from Mickey's point of view (thus, the novel is classified as the first in Coben's new YA series). The story captured my interest and was a quick 'read,' but there were a few things that bugged me about it as well, and I'm unsure whether this has to do with the writing or the presenter. Still, I'm looking forward to delving into the next Mickey Bolitar novel, Seconds Away.
Very easy read, but glad to continue the story of this family...think this one falls between the last 2 Myron ones. As always very clever plotting, including a bit of confusion over who are actually the bad guys! Ending that doesn't tie up everything...suppose it is a trilogy!
Shelter is the first book in the Mickey Bolitar series by Harlan Coben. Mickey was first introduced in Live Wire, the last book in the Myron Bolitar series. He's every bit as sarcastic, witty and smart as his uncle. The mature teen is also a basketball player, like his legendary uncle.
Shelter is Harlan Coben's young adult debut. Well done, Harlan. Well effin' done. It is a great easy read for young adults and entertaining for grown folks as well. The story line is not juvenile or dumbed down for younger readers. This book has the same formula as other Coben books that his fans appreciate: fast-paced, multi-layered suspense and mystery with a dose of cheeky humor. The Mickey Bolitar series will definitely tide me over until the next release in the Myron Bolitar series.

The protagonist is unrealistically confident, accomplished and hard-boiled for a 15-year-old, the other characters are one-dimensional, and the last page made say "WTF?" But if all you care about is pace, this book is for you.
good, fun. Is an offshoot of his adult, Myron Bolitier novels. The main character is Mickey Bolieter, nephew of Myron. Like this adult novels, is pretty faced paced and easy to read.
