RE: Contest -- What’s Your Favorite Book?

My favourite book is miracle cure by Harlan Coben

"You see, focus can be a dangerous thing. Your view of the world narrows. You grow obsessed. Blinded. You see everything in terms of your obsession and nothing else. You cannot accept defeat. You cannot understand why everyone else does not share your passion. Don't get me wrong. Concentration and focus are good and necessary. But when they slide unchecked, they can distort your perspective. In the ultimate pursuit of knowledge, you can easily become ignorant." ~

This is the quote I liked from this book. I think this can happen with anything you are focusing on from knowledge, work, love, sex, hobbies, and it's so important to be able to focus to achieve and to change the world for the better, but it is also important not to be obsessive compulsive and have a narrow and one sided view and let your passions rule your life. I thought it was a great quote.

The book brought up some major problems the world has now and one of them is money and where it should be allocated.
This is my first time reading Harlan Coben and it won't be my last. I was a little bit apprehensive in reading this one as the author wrote a letter at the beginning of the book warning the reader to put it down or return it if they have not read any of his more recent work.(It was published in 1991) Well, that just piqued my interest and I needed to know what my opinion of it would be. I wasn't disappointed, it was an enjoyable read that grabbed my attention right away.

It was a fast-paced, quick and easy read with an interesting plot. I was able to guess who done it but it was still a shocking and suspenseful read as the climax was executed very well! Going to have to read one of his other titles very soon. ~
