This book is completely insane and I mean that in the best possible way. Like most good suspense/thriller novels, this is not one to begin at night. It's not particularly scary (although there are definitely parts that are more unsettling than others) but it's nearly impossible to stop reading once you start. This is basically the literary equivalent of potato chips. There's no such thing as just reading one chapter.
I fell in love with John and Ruby immediately and completely sympathized with their situation. Yes, it's insurance fraud and technically stealing, but if you love someone, how can you let them die? Unfortunately, that first step into a moral gray area led to more steps into decidedly blacker zones. And while the insurance fraud could be considered justifiable, almost nothing else John does could fall into that category. He's not as bad as he could be, granted, but he is breaking the law either way.
But either way, I loved John and Ruby. And even as they're getting deeper and deeper into trouble, I rooted for things to work out for them. Because given everything that they went through, I just wanted her to go into remission and for him to somehow get away with it.
If you love Harlan Coben, you'll love Stolen. I can't wait to read his first two books.
