Is anyone here reading "Six Years" by Harlan Coben?

I'm really hooked on this story. The book isn't short and I already feel I could read it straight through to find out what the hell is going on with the main character!

Should I read his other books? Which ones are really good?

It's one of those books, I think, that if it doesn't get better for you as you read on, then CTyankee Apr 2013 #8

Myron Bolitar is a very good character from his books.

I'd read the series from the top down (don't start randomly - kind of misses the point)

Haven't read Six Years yet.. I saw it, but haven't bought it.

Still busy reading Michael Connelly's latest.

I love Myron and Win, and will read anything they're in, but I like Coben's stand-alones better than than the series. Haven't read it yet--I'll let it age for another couple of weeks .

Tell No One is another excellent stand alone as is Just One Look.

His Myron Bolitar series is really good too. Interesting characters with ofter very funny dialogue. Myron's sociopathic sidekick Win is one of the more unusual side kicks I've read.

complicated. I prefer a simpler plot line with fewer characters to have to remember later on in the book ("oh, yeah, her...now I remember...&quot .

But maybe it's just my aging brain...LOL...
