You cant have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front – or a happy without a sad. – Harlan Coben
Caught is a novel of forgiveness, and the past and the present – who should be and who shouldnt be forgiven. None of my books are ever just about thrills, or it wont work. – Harlan Coben
I am very lucky that I get to tell stories for a living. I love being able to grab peoples attention, to keep them turning the pages, to make them stay awake all night. I want to stir the pulse, yes, but also to stir the heart. I hope The Woods does that. – Harlan Coben
The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling – that youd take on vacation and rather than going out, youd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully thats what readers are responding to. – Harlan Coben
