I guess I am behind the times because this is my first book by this author. No Second Chance is a suspense filled book that surprises the reader from beginning to end. The main character finds himself involved in a kidnapping and murder that just does not make sense. I was impressed by the way the story unfolded and the pieces of the puzzle started to fit together.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by Harlan Coben. ( )

This has been my audio book since Thanksgiving, and it was much better than I was expecting. I wasn't overwhelmed by the other Coben book I've read (Just One Look), but this one grabs you and then keeps you involved with its various twists and turns. The nature of the crime behind the kidnapping was not what I expected. I also did not expect the final twist. This was a great thriller that keeps you guessing.

The only issue I had with it was that the characters tended to have many many long-winded thought monologues. This is probably less annoying if you're reading it and not listening to it. ( )

This was the last Harlan Coben that I read and I have to say that no matter how experienced a Coben reader I may be - or think I am - he still manages to surprise me! I sort of sensed what was coming, but still couldn't figure it out ahead of time - even when he laid on the clues really think. of course it has all the usual Coben elements, dysfunctional families, powerful people who think they know better than everyone else what is good for others, etc. But it's more than old wine in a new bottle, it's more like a case of same grape, different vintage.

Bel thriller da leggere d'un fiato ( )

Delightful fluff. A bit too much testosterone for my taste. Too many characters. I loved the twisty ending even though I had trouble remembering who eveyrbody was. Un-put-down-able well-crafted entertainment. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 014280018X, Audio Cassette)

Harlan Coben returns with a thriller of explosive tension and breathless psychological suspense. No Second Chance is a breakneck ride where nothing is what it seems-and where hope and fear collide in the most surprising ways.

Both a white-knuckle thriller and a story about the loyalty of old friends and the love of a father, No Second Chance is another masterpiece.

Unabridged, 8 cassettes, 11 hours
