What a piece of brain-numbing boring words on paper!
Maybe a young adult reading level might like this piece of boring nothing but by half way you will realize: nothing is happening to keep the pages turning, it takes half a book to read about high school teens with the attitude of immature kids getting bent out of joint because a girl likes him better than me so I'll get him, etc. Then you have to read through all the ordeal of trying out for the basketball team and so on and so on.
I will stay away from the Mickey Bolitar series for sure now after this one!

This is the 2nd book in the Mickey Bolitar series. I enjoyed this one better than the first. I was glad to see that Myron had a bigger part to play in the story and he and Mickey seem to be getting on better than the first book. There were a few surprising twists in the story that I really didn't see coming. I love the endings of these books are they keep you wanting more. Thank goodness I have the next book in my hands and will be starting it later tonight and hopefully Harlan Coben will keep writing more Mickey and Myron books as his readers are definitely hungry for them. If you haven't starting reading the Myron Bolitar books, what are you waiting for? They are everything you ever wanted in a great mystery read: great characters, plots with lots of twists and turns with humor and wit.

Teenager Mickey Bolitar is trying to find out all that he can about the Abeona Shelter. A mysterious woman has told him that his father who died in a traffic accident is not really dead. Mickey and his friends Ema and Spoon start looking for information. But when their friend Rachel is wounded by a gunshot to the head and her mother is murdered, Mickey tries to figure out what exactly happened that fateful night.
This is the second book in the Mickey Bolitar series and I loved it. Mickey lives with his Uncle Myron and the trademark Bolitar humor is back in this book. The characters are well drawn, including Ema and Spoon. The mystery is very interesting and I had a hard time putting this one down. The ending makes me want to pick up the next book immediately. My rating: 5 Stars.
