Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-21 00:00:00 Bradley S Moose This book to me was a mixed bag. On one hand, it was a pretty cool story, and the action near the end was very suspenseful and engaging. However, I also think the book could have been shorter and been much better. I find many books have an issue of just being too long which causes the story to drag. Perhaps it's just me, I'm not sure. This story was very emotional and was a character study as well as a suspense story. I will admit I had guessed at least part of the big reveal, although not exactly and not every part of it. Overall I found it to be like most Koontz books, in that they are good but never quite reach great. I'm still a fan, he just never quite reaches that top level for me. Then again, I haven't read that many Koontz books, so as I read more I may find some I like more than what I've read so far. Now, one thing that did bother me with this book was the writing style. There was no traditional dialogue. It was all written with no quotations like someone was telling you what everyone said rather than the person actually speaking. It's not as confusing as it sounds, but it did take me out of the story slightly. Overall this was a good book that could have been great with some edits. I did enjoy it, and would recommend it to suspense fans. |
