I have been a huge fan of Dean Koontz for years, so when I saw this for review, I had to grab it. Then…I wished I hadn’t. Thanks to Net Galley and Bantam. Amazon / Audiobook / Goodreads MY REVIEW Well, what can I say…I never even read the blurb because…it’s Dean Koontz…and I was so disa...
Well I enjoyed Dean Koontz's The Neighbor which was a prequel to The City. I think that this book manages to bring in enough old school Koontz mixed with some of the elements that we know that Koontz can do well (set up a story) and make it all flow together nicely.Told in the first person by Jonah ...
I always loved Dean Koontz for the way he has given us magical stories to read slowly and savour while taking our time to live inside each one of them and enjoy every moment. “The City” is a must to take time with and let the words and style tease our analytical side in order to capture the essence ...
Full review on my blog.The City is the first book by Dean Koontz I have ever read. I hadn’t read great reviews of this book, but I gave it a try and I liked it a lot. The cover of The City, although not a remarkably unforgettable one, is OK. I don’t feel it is the perfect cover for this story as I d...
I have been enjoying the Odd Thomas series so much that I thought I might read another of Dean Koontz’s novels. I had read 77 Shadow Street many years ago and enjoyed it very much. When I started reading The City, I didn’t know what to think. No horror - no gore. It seemed more a coming of age no...
I wasn't missing anything all these years I hadn't read a Dean Koontz novel. This one has a lot of great history, but it comes off like a John Irving novel meant for 4th graders. It's one of the books that made me wish I'd made better use of my time. Not a good thing.
I know I am behind at releasing my review for this book, but it took me that long to read it. I had a lot of trouble getting through this one. The story line seemed to drag on, there were more details present than I thought necessary. It wasn't until the last 15 pages or so that I really started to ...
I am not typically a Dean Koontz reader. In fact, I think I’ve only read one other book by Dean Koontz, it was years ago and I don’t even remember what the name of it or what it was about. When I saw The City on Netgalley, I decided to give him another try. Apparently, this one is not the usual Koon...
I usually try to summarize the book before I write what I think about the book. This book...you know what...For a moment I failed to see the point with this book. Eh anyway, I will give it a try; Jonah is a young black boy, a musical prodigy that thanks to visions and a women called "Miss Pearl" wil...
