Thriller Review: No Second Chance by Harlan Coben

Harlan Coben is well known for his unique writing style, fast paced, twist filled and humorous. No last chance fits all these criteria, and takes the concept a little further as well.

Unlike Coben’s Myron Bolitar series (excellent), No Second Chance has some psychologically thrilling elements. The plot centres around the kidnapping of plastic surgeon Mark Seidman’s daughter, and the lengths he goes to to rescue her. In typical Coben style the reader is immersed in the story, as chapter by chapter the Mark’s life falls apart around him. Shocking twist after shocking twist leaves the reader on the edge of their seat until the last page.

Some criticisms, when you have read as much Coben as I have the same old jokes start to get a bit tired. There is only so much Woo Hoo a reader can handle. Like all Coben books the main characters speak and act in much the same way, but that’s just part of the experience.

So to sum up No Second Chance is a book I would recommend for anyone to read. It is a perfect thriller, funny, exciting and involving. I can guarantee right now that this is one book that you have no chance of predicting the ending
