Myron didn't quite do it for me this time round, folks. I do love his writing, and the dead pan comments. A one liner that says it all 'One man's opinion.' Suave, I think? He just says it how it is, doesn't he. I liked another little conversation he had with a messy teen, a girl that was headed for trouble. She comments on wanting to look as good as Esperenza and he tells her she should aspire to be like her. I liked that.

Another quality Myron Bolitar mystery! Twisty and turny throughout. Lots of humor, suspense, and snarky dialogue. It always amazes me how a sport agent can keep getting involved in these crazy scenarios (the suspension of disbelief is strong here) - but, as unbelievable as it would seem, Coben always keeps it fresh and interesting.

Golf is the sport of focus in this one, and Coben has himself an Eagle (if not a hole-in-one)!

My very first Harlen Coben book and I enjoyed it very much. It appears I have started at number four in a series but that did not seem to matter as the story was stand alone. I liked the main character very much and smiled often at his attempts at humour. This particular book was not the most exciting mystery I have read but is was okay and I am keen to read more of this author's work. I know it comes highly recommended by many people whose opinions I trust:)

For those who say that the Myron Bolitar series gets better and better by each book, I agree a hundred percent. Back Spin NAILED IT!!

About halfway through the book we learn more about Win's past and childhood which I thought was interesting, and it explains his dark, warped sense of humor, why he's very protective of Myron and is extremely violent to those he believes is a threat.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. "Back Spin" is a conundrum, even for those who love Harlan Coben's books. On the one hand, this fourth entry in Coben's Myron Bolitar series is an engaging, page-turner that keeps the reader guessing up until the very end. On the other hand, the author's usual regimen of twists and turns goes way too far, turning the cleverness of the story into a series of serendipitous contrivances, and over-the-top red herrings.

The story starts out kind of weak. Sports Agent/Crime Fighter Myron Bolitar is hi "Back Spin" is a conundrum, even for those who love Harlan Coben's books. On the one hand, this fourth entry in Coben's Myron Bolitar series is an engaging, page-turner that keeps the reader guessing up until the very end. On the other hand, the author's usual regimen of twists and turns goes way too far, turning the cleverness of the story into a series of serendipitous contrivances, and over-the-top red herrings.

The story starts out kind of weak. Sports Agent/Crime Fighter Myron Bolitar is hired to help his partner in crime Win's cousin's golf dynasty family get back their kidnapped teenage son, WITHOUT the help of Win! For those who have read the Myron Bolitar novels, the appearance and participation of Win is essential to the story, every story. Without Win, Myron Bolitar is just a lone wolf, and arguably far less interesting a character study in general. As Harlan Coben himself might say, Win is "Yang" to Bolitar's "Yin." Sure, Win IS in "Back Spin,' but only as a background player, a peripheral piece of the story's puzzle. Needless to say, the lack of "Win" in "Back Spin," ended up weakening the novel as a whole.

Ironically, Win's absence played an important part into who Windsor Horne Lockwood III really is. Though Coben doesn't reveal everything, "Back Spin" features some interesting, new insight into Win's background, and why Win ended up the way he is. He has an aversion to his family, possibly because of how he was raised, and the betrayal he felt from both of his parents. Win's coldness towards his cousin's family though, never felt right to me. More to the point, I just did not understand it at all.

Here lies the chief rub with "Back Spin," the big reveal at the end was at best vague, and at worst completely nonsensical. I still don't understand the backstory that set the entire novel off. So, back in the day, a young 8-year-old Win was supposed to be with his cousin's boyfriend Jack Coldren, getting golf lessons. Yet instead of golf lessons with Jack, Win went with his father to the horse stables and stumbled upon Win's mother having sex with a horse riding instructor. Traumatized for life, Win never spoke with his mother again, and lost respect for his father. The family was ruined.

Win's mother, refusing to accept her own responsibility in the matter, sought out vicious revenge on Jack Coldren, for she felt it was Coldren who destroyed her life, and ruined her family. Does that make sense? I don't get it, and Coben never fully explains what this meant. All he writes is that Jack Coldren was a bully as a teenager, and mischievous, and that somehow his involvement with Win seeing his mother have sex with another man was part of a prank, but...I...I still don't get what the prank was, or supposed to have been.

Regardless, Win's mother refused to let it go, and years later got revenge on Jack Coldren by bribing his caddy Lloyd Rennart to deliberately ruin Coldren's likelihood of winning at the U.S. Open. Rennart did as he was paid to do, and Coldren lost the tournament, and was ruined. As a result, Lloyd Rennart was rich, but ruined in the golf world, so he became a drunk...which in turned ruined Rennart's family.

Years later, Rennart's long lost daughter Esme becomes a sports marketing exec, and discreetly places herself near Jack Coldren's family, as her company Zoom has an endorsement deal with Jack's superstar golfer wife Linda. Secretly, and just like Win's mother Cissy, Esme blames Jack Coldren for ruining her family, and it is her intension to sabotage Jack's second attempt at winning the U.S. Open.

Then, the author throws a huge and totally unnecessary red herring/monkey wrench into his story. It is revealed that not only is Jack Coldren homosexual, he is also having an affair with Esme's boss, the likable Jewish hippie Norm Zuckerman. The question is, why? Why add this extra layer to an already convoluted story, especially when it does not pay off at all?

Then you have Esme's revenge plan. First she takes Jack and Linda Coldren's son Chad to a cheap motel in order to seduce him, but in reality she wanted to have Chad catch his gay father in a tryst with Norm Zuckerman. When that didn't work out, she hired neo-Nazi street thug Tito to help her kidnap Chad, with the ransom being Jack Coldren deliberately losing at the U.S. Open. This would please Esme as it would forever ruin Jack Coldren for good, AND it would help her big star client Tad Crispin win the U.S. Open, and put her company Zoom on the map for all things golf. When the neo-Nazi street thug Tito goes crazy (hmm, you would think she would have seen that coming) and chops off Chad Coldren's finger, Esme kills Tito gangster style.

Then you have Jack Coldren, who lies to everyone about the kidnapper's demand in order to keep up his winning streak at the U.S. Open. And you have Linda Coldren, who not only was having an affair with Jack's chief opposition Tad Crispin, but who also was responsible for murdering her husband Jack, and hiding the evidence! It's all too much, TOO MUCH story, TOO many red herrings, TOO many twists. And what was the payoff, some vague story about Jack Coldren being directly or indirectly responsible for ruining Win's family? Whaaaat??????

However, I am sucker for Harlan Coben's prose, and even his novels that go beyond the notion of rational sense have their entertainment value (read "Tell No One" to confirm). As frustrated as I was by the ending of "Back Spin," I did have a good time reading the book, and more often than not, I was highly compelled to turn to the next page, and the one after.

I think Harlan Coben should stick with the more serious side of murder mystery and leave the crazy/witty/caper type to authors more along the line of Janet Evanovitch.

There's a large cast of supporting characters for a book of this genre, and by the end all of them figure into the crime in one way or another. There's nary a red herring in the whole thing.

There's a large cast of supporting characters for a book of this genre, and by the end all of them figure into the crime in one way or another. There's nary a red herring in the whole thing.

There's nary a Win, either, which is a first for me in this series. Granted, I'm only three books in, but it seems that Bolitar and Coben agree on the same point: For the good of the series, or for Bolitar (which is saying the same thing), a little less of Win may be more. You can't have his safety net for the whole series, or for the main character. Every once in awhile, it's important that he does it alone. Win does come into it, of course, but only for character development. He does nothing to help solve the crime. (He attains a copy of an important VHS--this is the late-90s here--but that's it.)

This book again shows Coben's flair for character development. In these CSI-type mystery novels--I say CSI not because of the forensics, but because of the reliance on the tried and true formula of presentation, as well as the dominance of the case over all else--it's refreshing that Coben remembers and insists on character development and even moral philosophizing, the latter more on the reader's behalf after the reading is done, as opposed to the characters themselves babbling and morally philosophizing, which hampers lesser writers. Robert Parker, for example, who was not exactly a lesser writer, did occasionally get bogged down with Spenser and Susan's and Hawk's philosophizing and moralizing, which Coben seems to purposely stay away from. Not Parker's exclusively, but the habit of this genre's characters to do so.

In fact, Coben's characters go out of their way--even more than Parker's did, which is saying something--to point out cliches and to downplay them. In fact, Coben's characters do it so often, that in of itself is becoming a cliche. He believes, apparently, that pointing out the cliche is better than falling back on it. Though, of course, by mentioning them so often, and panning them so often, he's falling back on his characters doing that. I'm sure Coben has noticed this, but by now it's a staple of his series, and it's therefore way too late to stop doing it now. I can see this after just three books, and violently out of order, at that.

So Coben also is good at the character development, or at least with the characters being aware that they are developing. Bolitar especially realizes this about himself, in every novel so far, and in each he says that he doesn't like what he's learned about himself, either. But Bolitar also goes out of his way to notice the personages of his other friends, each of whom (Win and Esperanza so far) has had his fair share of the limelight. This is better than usual for this genre. For the third time in a row, as well--noticeable because I've read them so out of order--a mother has to go to an extreme to protect her child. (Again, it's a son.) This has become a common motif so far in Coben's work as well.

The case is riveting as well, as it needs to be, or all this character and good writing stuff would be worthless. As Stephen King points out, story, people, story. Leave the theme, development, etc. for later, to enhance the book. But the story--or, in this genre's case, the mystery--must prevail. Here it does. There are so many characters in this one, and each has some bearing on the ending, that it's important to notice that Coben gives each of them a dominating personality trait, so it's easy to tell them apart and to give a damn about them in some way, even in a negative way. (There's a white neo-Nazi with a Hispanic first name, for example.) Coben gets a pass here for getting too generalized with a group of high school girls and their vernacular, each of whom seems to talk like Jimmy Fallon's teenage girl impersonation, a good fifteen or so years before Fallon made it popular.

So this one is also worth a read, and again it's a very fast read, as I finished it in less than a day. ...more
