The Woods

I loved this book. It was the first book I’ve read in awhile and it really got me back into reading. His books offer an escape! They are much better than the netflix series that have been made though.

Didn’t see that coming!!!

Was disappointed in this book, story dragged and ending was disappointing.

Loved this book! Full of suspense from start to finish, could not put it down!

When choosing a good story to read, Coben is my go-to. When I saw the fairly inexpensive price tag on this piece, it was a no-brainer. Now that I have finished the story, I cannot say that I would have felt I had gotten my monies worth from it if it had been much higher in price. If you’re looking for a thriller that will immerse you and lead you with a leash to the last page, this is not it. Don’t expect a climax that will have you reeling, nor a fully realized narrative that will have even your subconscious mind invested. As far as Coben goes, this is far from a favorite for me. HOWEVER, that’s not to say this story doesn’t have its place. I awarded it four stars for the simple fact that it is in and of itself, a concrete tale that isn’t hard to follow and has its points of interest. The beginning is enticing, the meat of the plot is heavy with thorough story-telling, and the ending is resolute, if not fairly predictable and underwhelming. Bottom line: Harlan Coben delivers another great story with his distinct style, but in my personal opinion, this one should be put a little further down your list. My suggestions would be ‘Six Years’, ‘Stay Close’, ‘The Stranger’ or ‘Fool Me Once’. While you won’t be disappointed with ‘The Woods’, necessarily, I just don’t think it does Coben’s library justice. If this is your first of his, you’re barely scratching the surface of his amazing linguistic style.

Kept my interest the whole book. A real page turner. Satisfying ending.

The Woods was the first Coben novel I read! Once I started I could not put it down! His relatablility to his characters make the book seem so real and draws the read in! The plot line of the story is unique and tear jerking! I will always remember The Woods! It's a must read

I really like the conversational style of this book. I really got into the characters and felt like i was sitting somewhere hearing a story over a cup of coffee. I thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story

Fast paced, fun to read and totally worth your time. This book has you on the edge of your seat till' the very end; another great Coben book!

I've never read such an amazing book! I bought it at 12:00 am and I'm ending right now 9:47 pm! The twists and turns try to make you assume things, but don't jump to occlusions because the truth always comes out! Now stop reading this and buy the book!!!!!
