Cover Quote

"On his deathbed, my father takes my hand. "Paul," my father says to me, "We still need to find her".

That is the quote that is on the front cover of my book, The Woods by Harlan Coben. In this post, I will once again be talking about how intriguing this book is to read after picking it up for the first time. That quote creates a strong emotional appeal to the reader. The first thing that you ask yourself after reading the quote is who the girl is. You can tell by just those few sentences that the girl mentioned will probably be the main focus of the story line. The girl is probable dead or missing, and after reading a little into the book, I found out that the girl that the father was talking about is most likely the main character/narrator's sister, who has indeed been missing for years and years. I can tell by what I have read so far that this book is going to be filled with lots of mystery and suspense. It is going to leave me thinking what will happen next as I go to sleep at night. I am very excited to read more of the book and see how the plot-line unravels.
