There are reasons why Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series are so popular. Great reads, simple, funny, sexy, fast moving, great characters are a few. Try this one for yourself and see if you don't read more. I highly recommend it.
As always love Coben's books.I have read all of them and wait impatiently for his next book.
Coben has a very easy, smooth way of writing. I found his character Myron to be a bit like those characters of Robert Parker, but much more sarcastic and funny. I will definately be going back to read more of Caben's Myron Bolitar series. Just plain fun to read.
I do not care for Myron. Or his side kick. Prefer Coben's stand alone novels.
Myron is an ex-basketballer cut down by injury before making his mark in the NBA who has turned PI. I'm another one who was really looking forward to reading the Bolitar series. And although I wasn't necessarily disappointed with Coben's fairly standard whodunnit plot , I didn't get that "gee, I can't wait to read the next installment" feeling either. A likeable hero, yes, but not as interesting as his sidekick, Win, the gun-toting, martial arts expert resident billionaire stockbroker. Obviously there's plenty of intended tongue-in-cheek in the writing, but for a more engaging hero of his type try Val McDermid's Kate Brannigan series.
