Six Years

Product Information

Auch der Schreibstil hat mir gut gefallen. Wir lesen die Geschichte aus der Sicht von Jake, so dass wir ihn hautnah bei seiner Suche begleiten und seine Gefühle teilen können. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.

Like Jeffery Deaver, veteran Coben (Stay Close, 2012, etc.) is a magician who’s a lot more fun to watch when you don’t know how he’s fooling you.There were twists and turns with every chapter, questions that wouldn't go away but would gain momentum. This was incredibly well written and really challenged my sleuthing skills. If you are looking for the perfect book to take you away from everything else in your life, this is it. I couldn't focus on anything else while reading "Six Years."

REVIEW: Six Years by Harlan Coben - Dear Author REVIEW: Six Years by Harlan Coben - Dear Author

The style and narrative of this novel reminded very much of Linwood Barclay but without the character depth and development and with a really weak plot. I was very excited to come across this book a couple of days ago, considering I'd just looked into reserving it at my library. AND I'd spied it on my cousins bookshelf while on holidays, tempted to ask if I could take it with me!! I found it at a charity store the next day and the lady serving me asked me if she could read it after me! Harlan Coben was born and raised in New Jersey. After graduating from Amherst College as political science major,

The other problem with the love story is that the reader only apprehends Natalie through Jake’s narration. She’s an object rather than a participant. This distancing view of her makes it impossible to understand her. We know Jake will do anything to be with her but we never know her. It’s easy to quibble with the novel’s romantic elements. Mr. Coben didn’t set out to write a romance; he set out to write a damn good thriller. While Six Years is certainly a thriller, it is also very much a love story.”— Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel The bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger explores the dangers of obsession in this #1 New York Times bestselling masterpiece of modern suspense.

worked in the travel industry. He now lives in New Jersey with his wife, Anne Armstrong-Coben MD, a pediatrician, and their four children.I haven't read anything else by Harlan Coben, so I can't really say if this is consistent with his other work. I found that although this story is fast paced and an easy read, it's also very compartmentalized. Mystery should surprise you and keep you on your toes, but everything from the generic romantic woes to the ending was very linear and mechanized. I think Harlan Coben's writing seems a little outdated sometimes, and it shows his age (but not necessarily in a flattering way). awards: the Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award.

Summary and reviews of Six Years by Harlan Coben - BookBrowse

Jake und Natalie sind unsterblich ineinander verliebt. Alles ist perfekt, doch dann heiratet Natalie ganz plötzlich und völlig unerwartet einen anderen Mann: Todd. Jake versteht die Welt nicht mehr. Er muss Natalie versprechen, aus ihrem Leben zu verschwinden. Er darf keinen Kontakt mehr zu ihr aufnehmen. Jake verspricht es schweren Herzens und hält sich sechs Jahre lang an dieses Versprechen. Doch dann liest er eine Todesanzeige - Todd ist gestorben. Nun möchte Jake doch wieder Kontakt zu Natalie aufnehmen und fährt zu Todds Beerdigung. Doch die trauernde Witwe ist eine fremde Frau - nicht Natalie! Natalie scheint spurlos verschwunden - was ist passiert? Jake begibt sich auf die Suche nach der Wahrheit. When Jake Fisher notices an obituary for the husband of a woman he loved six years in the past, he makes the fateful decision to look for her. This sets events in motion that may forever change his life. Coben has achieved greater suspense in other thrillers, but this ranks among his strangest and most ingenious plots." - Publishers Weekly Wow. Least favorite Harlen Coben ever. Usually I can count on him to throw me into the middle of his story and keep me up late with my adrenaline pumping. Not so here. I guess I never really bought the relationship between Jake, our protagonist, and Natalie, the woman he had a 3 month relationship with 6 years ago.But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for…but she is not Natalie. This novel was no exception. Jake Fisher, a young handsome college Professor, has never recovered from losing Natalie, the love of his life six years ago when she inexplicably dumped him after a perfect summer romance and promptly married an old flame. Since then he has had a few short term relationships but no one has been able to come close to replacing Natalie. He loves his teaching job at his small East coast college and is popular with the students and has a good drinking buddy amongst the staff. However, one day he sees something that makes him wonder what really happened with Natalie and as he starts to look into past events, gets himself and a lot of other people into a whole world of trouble.
