Myron Bolitar ermittelt diesmal im Golfumfeld. Und im Familienumfeld - seines besten Freundes Win.
Wieder recht spannend, lustig... Coben scheint vergessen zu haben, dass Bolitar bereits in den ersten Bänden einen Golfer als Kunden hat. Ts ts.

Fun read. Some nice twists throughout. A little cliche in some of the dialogue and descriptions, but still enjoyable.

Enjoyable but I might need a little break from Myron Bolitar. These books are great for long car trips, however.

Book was released in 97 and there are just some things I can't let slide on this one. Mens attitudes towards women is a big one. A couple of minor things where I noticed I was cringing and making funny faces.
All the smartarse-ness was just a tad too much. Besides I loathe golf. Golf is not a sport it's like fishing.
I'll move to HC newer stuff.

Eh, getting a little repetitive but it was nice that Myron didn't TOTALLY get his ass kicked without Wyn around to save him.

Golf. Green. Lots of GREEN. White Sand. Mansions. A Whole New World of Language. Funny Pants. Loud Jews. Kidnapped Boy. Famous Golfers. U.S. Open. Severed Fingers. Murder. Anything To Keep The Way People Perceive This Family Alive.
So this is another installment of Myron Bolitar. I love his stories.
This one though was about golf. [a:Harlan Coben|24689|Harlan Coben|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1297818941p2/24689.jpg] even said in the beginning of the book that he and Myron Bolitar tried, but it didn't suit them.
A lot happens in this book, especially with the characters that are closely related to Myron. I mean not just the plot thickens with his next hero crusade of finding a kidnapped boy, but I mean with Esperanza and Win. I feel really bad for Win.
I liked this book, but I think it was the golf that did me in. I just could not get the concept of how great this "sport" really is. The storyline though was good. I finished this one also in a matter of hours after immediately reading [b:Drop Shot|43932|Drop Shot (Myron Bolitar, #2)|Harlan Coben|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298423862s/43932.jpg|14597391] by [a:Harlan Coben|24689|Harlan Coben|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1297818941p2/24689.jpg]. I thought the titles should have been switched but oh well.
Also, I'm pretty sure that I've read this series out of order, so now I'm waiting for the library to get the second one and fourth one in. Oh well. I know I read Myron's stories out of order a long time ago, when I first got hooked onto Coben's work. I did not really care because the books were so great that you could pick up on what was going on with the characters' personal lives.
