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

Koontzland for the month of May 2017 This was an emotional rollercoaster, it was an insight into a grieving father s healing process and it also has a little bit of The firestarter by Stephen King.I certainly wasn t expecting this to turn into a preachy bs book.Oh well.Reviewed first at Brunner s BookshelfI have to say that I am not a huge Dean Koontz fan My wife was with his earlier work but there came a point when his books just got really weird and our interest faded I have some of his books that I really liked, Tick Tock and Life Expectancy to name a few This was another book that kept popping up in my hunt for horro books for the R.I.P challenge I figured I would give it a try Let s just say I was expecting a horror novel and this isn t.The book is Reviewed first at Brunner s

Koontz fan.You d think it would be pretty difficult to make a man who lost his wife and two daughters in a plane crash unsympathetic, but Koontz makes it look easy The first 20% of the book is the main character going on and on and on about he s suffering, miserable, angry, unable to ever move on, yadda yadda yadda We get it The Made it through 30% before I finally gave it up I ve only read a
