Book Reviews of Drop Shot (Myron Bolitar)
Book Review: Not His Best But Still Very Good
Summary: 4 Stars
Drop Shot was a bit of a drop off from Deal Breaker, but still very entertaining. The plot had the same twists and turns and the same main and entertaining characters. The characters were only truly understood, however, if you had read Deal Breaker, Coben's first in the Bolitar series. I also had the plot figured out about forty pages before Myron did (maybe I was lucky) which certainly did not happen in Deal Breaker.The same sardonic wit was displayed throughout. An very entertaining mystery. I look forward to Mr. Coben's future Bolitar novels going back to the five star level though.
Book Review: Not as good as others
Summary: 3 Stars
If Myron Bolitar doesn't stop soon, he won't have a single client left; at least that's the impression I'm left with after reading this novel. No, it's not a spoiler, but the character does have a habit of pissing off the people he's supposed to be helping.
I've just started reading through the Bolitar series, and I'm hoping the next one continues with better twists and turns (Unfortunately, I figured out the big twist several chapters before Myron did. Boo.) and significantly less Jessica.
Book Review: Drop Shot
Summary: 3 Stars
I just finished this book, and enjoyed it, but it was not up the Harlan's usually high standards. I agree with another review who said that there were places in the book that could have been "cut & pasted" from some of Harlan's other books. Again, the conversational writing is tremendous, and most of all "true to life". The characters seem to come to life and do in fact have their individual personalities. Not his best, but worth reading.Book Review: Not as good as Deal Breaker, but still great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book in one day, and it was great. But at this point I expect as much from Harlan Coben. Drop Shot was not as excellent as Deal Breaker, and I had the ending figured out before Myron. But none the less it is still an exciting, suspensful, and funny novel. I recommend it. And I have already picked up Myron's next adventure, the Edgar award winning Fade Away. I can't wait to get started.If you pick up this book, which you should, enjoy! :)
Book Review: Myron BoliStar
Summary: 4 Stars
I will agree with the review that said that the ending was disappointing, in that it was predictable. However, I still feel it was a good book. I really enjoy the characters. They remind me a lot of Robert Crais's Elvis Cole and Joe Pike and that isn't a bad thing. I would recommend this book but for someone that is going to read only one Harlan Coben book you should still go with Fade Away. That one and Dealbreaker were definitely sure things.
