geowhaley 's review for:
Fool Me Once
by Harlan Coben
Recommendation: This book kept me engaged from start to finish. When I finished the last page (a distant epilogue), I had a tear in my eye. There was nothing to give away the ending and my suspicions bounced back and forth between any number of characters. I even spent a lot of time creating my own personal spin (imaginary gay love affair resulting in a murder/suicide: check), without any input from the author/text. We read what we want right? I know I’ll read more of Coben when I stumble across them in the future!
My Response:This is one of those books where you have to wonder where people get their ideas from. I’ve read far creepier books and far more suspenseful books, but Coben’s way with slowly building up to a crescendo and crashing denouement is superb! I know how cliche it is but when I hear someone say they want to read a page turner this is the type of book I think of. I started this at lunch on Wednesday and finished Thursday afternoon, working two full eight-hour days!
As I said in my response to The Stranger, after receiving an advance copy of this from Dutton*, AND hearing my friends Hayley and Kennedy liked Coben, I bumped these up my list and they were totally worth it. I will most definitely be keeping an eye out for any of his other ridiculous number of novels next time I’m at the used book store or local library sale.
