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
Make no mistake, adolescence is a war. No one gets out unscathed. – Harlan Coben
Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. I may joke about knowing fear, but the fact is, the first time I ever knew real fear was the day Charlotte, my first child, was born. Suddenly there is someone in the world you care about more than anything. – Harlan Coben
If Im not writing well, Im not happy. If Im not spending enough time with my family, Im not happy. If Im not connecting to friends or if I dont work out enough… You get the point. Everything has to be balanced. Nothing should be an extreme. – Harlan Coben
