An author to check out

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=pd_sc/103-9735302-7747047?search-alias=aps&keywords=harlan%20coben

Harlan Coben.

I've now read two of his novels.

His writing style/diction is a bit stilted; his character development isn't the greatest; he recycles some stuff from book to book.

But boy oh boy -- 5 pages into it and he has you totally hooked. I can't put it down. I have to cover the bottom of the page with my hand so I can't see what's coming. I find myself disoriented when I stop reading, because I was so sucked into it.

Definitely worth picking up one of his novels.
