5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Suspense, 1 Sep 2007
By S. Lloyd (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Woods (Hardcover)
You think you have it all worked out and then along comes another twist which leaves you guessing again - and this is true of the plot to the last page.
The theme of the past is not new but it is familiar to life in that the past has a habit of resurfacing.
I liked the conflicting personality traits of the central character - Paul Copeland - strong in his sense of justice and basically a good friend and father but weak in personal traumas. This makes him more human - more alive.
The style of writing is emotional at times but full of suspense - I found it difficult to put this down.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Edge-Of-Your-Seat Thriller!, 31 Aug 2007
By bobbewig (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Woods (Hardcover)
Be prepared to be glued to your seat throughout much of the time you spend reading Harlan Coben's latest thriller, The Woods. The primary plot pertains to an incident that occurred twenty years ago, in which two teens were found murdered and two others were never seen again after they walked into the woods near their summer camp. This plot has many twists, turns and surprises. The subplot involves the trial being prosecuted by Paul Copeland -- a county prosecutor and one of the four teens involved in the camp incident -- of an African-American woman who claims to have been raped by some rich white male students while attending a fraternity party (sound familiar -- Duke?, lacrosse players?). Coben weaves his main plot and interesting subplot together in a manner that will keep the pages flying through your fingers and in a way that will cause you to lose all track of time. And he has developed characters that are real enough to care about, even with their weaknesses. Are their some implausibilities. Sure, there are -- but they in no way detract from this very entertaining and suspenseful book. While I usually agree with reviews by Publishers Weekly, in this case I strongly do not. I'm much more in agreement with the Library Journal review. Do yourself a favor and get a copy of The Woods, and then settle in for a real fun reading experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great stand-alone book!, 29 July 2007
By F. Luchetti "crazy book lover" (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Woods (Hardcover)
This is another great stand-alone crime novel from Harlan Coben!
Paul Copeland,county prosecutor,is made to re-encounter his past traumas and learn about the truths buried from 20 years ago.
This book is fast paced, full of twists and turns and keeps you in suspense until the very last page!
Whether you have read any of Harlan Coben's other books or not, this is a recommended read!
