At thirty-four, Internet entrepreneur Ryan Perry seemed to have the world in his pocket – until the first troubling symptoms appeared out of nowhere. Within days, he’s diagnosed with incurable cardiomyopathy and finds himself on the waiting list for a heart transplant; it’s his only hope, and it’s dwindling fast. Ryan is about to lose it all…his health, his girlfriend Samantha, and his life. One year later, Ryan has never felt better. Business is good and he hopes to renew his relationship with Samantha. Then the unmarked gifts begin to appear – a box of Valentine candy hearts, a heart pendant. Most disturbing of all, a graphic heart surgery video and the chilling message: Your heart belongs to me. In a heartbeat, the medical miracle that gave Ryan a second chance at life is about to become a curse worse than death. For Ryan is being stalked by a mysterious woman who feels entitled to everything he has. She’s the spitting image of the twenty-six-year-old donor of the heart beating steadily in Ryan’s own chest. And she’s come to take it back.

This has led me to re-read some Koontz books (really just skim since I have read them before). I forgot how much I disliked "Your Heart Belongs to Me" until my re-read of i...
This book was a giant waste of time. It made no sense. Seriously, none. I'm just . . . confused.
I'm really disappointed with this one. Characters are barely delineated, dialogues are only 'enough' and the ending is not satisfying at all. I'm going to give another chance to Koontz and read one day another his book but it's not going to happen soon.
This is the first Koontz book I've finished. I guess the ending was a bit unexpected. The prose was a bit flowery and the book would have been a bit shorter had the descriptions and narrative been a bit more "contained." I did note that Koontz is a former English teacher and that may account for ...
