A review by michellefleming33
Back Spin by Harlan Coben
3.0
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.
