I am a huge Harlan Coben fan, having read every book in the Myron Bolitar series. Mickey Bolitar is Myon's 14-year-old nephew, and in true Coben style, this is an excellent page-turner. I love the twists that the story takes, and it certainly held my interest throughout. The reading level recommended is "Young adult" and there is the major difference in the two 'heroes'. The book definitely reads for a younger audience, and although I wouldn't say that I was disappointed, I did miss the more adult humor that is interjected into all of the Myron books. Myron has such a tiny role in this novel that his unassertive actions border on being out of character. He doesn't even guess that his nephew is in trouble?? Come on!!
All that being said, I would definitely read another in the Mickey series. And would then pass it along to my teenage nephew.
