“Gone for Good”, by Harlan Coben

2 stars ⭐️⭐️

This was my second book by this author (I own 11 more books, all unopened since purchased).

The story started very well and got my curiosity. But  the writing was not that remarkable and, although we were presented with lots of characters, the story wasn’t confusing.

The development of the story, with the flat characters and the farfetched twists did not impress me.

And riveting this was not. At least for me.

I was so disappointed that I won’t care to explain.

This book was originally published in 2002. 

My first experience was reading “I will find You”, published in 2023, which I rated 2 stars.

Such a popular author, with so many adaptations for the screen, but I doubt he is for me. But I will try to read the ones I already have, one of these days.

Paperback (Dell Books): 436 pages (cover to cover), 58 chapters (mostly very short)  plus one epilogue that takes less than half a page.

E-book (Kobo): 448 pages (default), 106k words
