by Tullio Dobner, Dean Koontz
This could possibly be the last good Dean Koontz novel. I only say "possibly" because I have yet to read RELENTLESS, which was published after this one, and do not hold high hopes for me liking it. Written in 2006, three years after the stellar debut of Pico Mundo's paranormally-inclined fry cook,...
Typical Koontz. Mildly interesting at the beginning, then relatively exciting from the middle onwards, with poetry vomit describing stuff and whatnot at regular intervals. Overall okay, but not one of his best.
I listened to this on audio today and it was such a disappointment. No humor, no golden retriever's and a bland leading man who finds himself in an unthinkable situation when his wife is kidnapped & held for a ransom he can't possibly meet (he's a gardener). Chaos ensues, secrets are revealed and al...
Gah. Koontz weirds me out. His character twists are great in this book... I pictured Owen Wilson as the bro, for some reason.I felt it ended weakly, like there should have been more. I've been watching too much CSI.
2.5 stars.Had a hard time staying with it.
I was a big Dean Koontz fan until his work got to be a bit creepy and weird...but I loved this new book! The book keeps you guessing right to the end, in true Dean Koontz fashion! Keep them coming!
