See allHarlan Coben has long been a favorite author of mine. He writes subtle wittiness that comes off very naturally, and he has a knack for creating characters that are believable and stick with you well after finishing a book. Six Years was no different. I love a good thriller/mystery that is unique. This one was certainly that; no cookie-cutter formula here. I was left stumped throughout most of the book, and most of the time I felt as if I couldn't read the book fast enough. I was constantly wanting to figure out why all these strange things were happening to the main character.
I did feel as if the conclusion was a little short. I would have liked the story to be a bit more developed, but I did feel as if most of the plots loose ends were tied at the end. Very good book!
This was a typical Nora Roberts book. The plot was very predictable, and I expect the sequels to be as well. Still, it was a charming book. The characters are very complex, and I grew attached to them quickly. Stella and her two boys are a joy, and the friendships she gains are wonderful. It's also a very interesting read for those into gardening. I actually learned a thing or two from reading this book!
I finally finished Breaking Dawn last night. I really wanted to drag out the last 3 chapters, because I really didn't want to finish the series so soon. I mean, I just started it less than a month ago, and I'm already done with all four books!
I can't say that this was my favorite book out of the four, but then again, I can't quite say that about any of them. I did highly enjoy this one, though. There were some extremely shocking moments that took me a while to warm up to. I think Stephenie Meyer really pushed the limits of the fantasy aspect of her series this time around. Now that I've read the book twice, I have learned to accept it as simply fantasy and move on. Once I got over that, I truly enjoyed everything.
The first time through tended to be a bit confusing for multiple reasons, but after rereading, everything started to make a lot more sense. I found the storyline extremely fascinating, and I was sad to see the series end.
