Today, I am going to talk about the first book I read in English : The Woods by Harlan Coben (a novel, published in 2007). I like reading and I really wanted to learn more vocabulary, structures, etc… I wanted to know what it’s like to read a real book in English, to see if it’s difficult or not or if I could keep until the end. So, I was looking for an interesting book in English but I found many of them. One of them caught my eyes. When I read the summary, I suddenly felt that this book was the perfect one to begin this epic adventure !
Paul is a county prosecutor, in charge of a disturbing new case which brings him back 20 years ago, when he was at a summer camp with his sister who suddenly disappeared with other people. Could his sister be alive ? He has to find out the truth and gather the pieces of the puzzle to know what’s really happened that night.
I think it’s a fabulous book ! I can’t say I’m a “mysteries and thrillers” fanatic but I admit that I enjoyed a lot to read this book : there are short chapters, quick dialog, nice twists, and a narration that was surprisingly funny at times ! I recommend this book for brave people who are not afraid of reading in English and who have a good level of understanding. 😉
I don’t know this novel but I like story with lot of suspens it make feel lots of emotions.
This novel seems to be very cool and suspencful.
I’ve read this book (in french!) and honestly I don’t liked it a lot … The script was interesting but I don’t liked the author’s writing. Perhaps it’s only the translation but I don’t think so.
That’s a shame you didn’t like the book ! Maybe it’s the fault of the translation… I don’t know because I didn’t read it in French.
