I liked this a lot, but it was really violent in extremely detailed ways. I almost had to bail out because I am a "does the dog die" person, and I had not checked.

Coben's name has been tossed around as a top thriller/mystery writer for a while, so on a recent vacation to the mountains I grabbed a few of his books to finally check out the hype. I wasn't looking for a masterpiece, but the plot, characters, and dialogue just all seemed so ridiculous and contrived. I finished it, but it didn't leave me eager to read the other book I have of his on my shelf. I don't mind an easy "beach read" that may never top the charts as classic literature, but this book really fell flat for me.
