Whew, May 4 2010
I raced through this book which is what I usually do with most of Harlan Coban's books. Another amazing story that had me hunched over the book, unable to do anything else until it was done. The only quibble I had was bringing in the characters from his Myron Bolitar stories. To me that was a bit surreal. Like having worlds collide. But a minor quibble. Highly recommended.

Fast Paced & Thrilling, Jan 15 2011
I haven't written reviews for Amazon just yet, I have been a dedicated customer for a year now and their service is beyond fantastic.
I recently received this book as a Christmas gift ~ my Mom received the same one; from my sister.
My Mom and I love Harlan's books as well as Dean Koontz and Stephen King. The last one we raved about was Under the Dome by Stephen King but this book; Caught, is beyond incredible!
I read this book in ONE day, it is THAT GOOD.
You seriously cannot put the book down whatsoever. It is fast-paced, the characters are fantastic, everything ties in together wonderfully and without flaw and it's got so many twist and turns that when you think it's over, it is definitely not.
This is one of thee best Harlan Coben books I have ever read and the only disappointment here is that it weren't longer!
They should definitely make a movie about this book and I guarentee it will be a hit at the box office. We definitely need more movies that have this sort of flawless and riveting storyline.
I applaud Mr. Coben on this masterpiece of his.
I absolutely loved it.

A very intriguing and intricate mystery, Jan 24 2012
So far, I've read about half a dozen Coben novels. While all have been quite good, this particular book completely hooked me. I simply couldn't not put it down. I just had to know what would happen and how the parallel stories would link up. In this case, we have a social worker (apparently a good guy) who appears to have been set up by a TV show aimed at exposing sexual predators who pray on teens via the Internet. We also have the mysterious disappearance of a teenager with no history of trouble/problems. A bunch of other characters get involved, directly and indirectly, into one or the other or both stories.... It's a convoluted plot with intricate subplots but somehow it all hangs together really well and in no time at all, you find yourself consumed with finding out who did what, when, why and how.... Furthermore, this author is really good at pulling the heart strings and he makes you reflect/feel for the parents of the missing girl, the innocents that are falsely accused, the victims of absurd crimes and unfair accidents, the guilt associated with tragic errors. I almost shed some tears at the end which shows how well some of the characters and the story were developed. Because of that , it makes it easy for me to ignore some of the plot twists that were a bit too far fetched and easily resolved. I give it a 4.5 out 5 stars = very, very good...
