Funny how being famous means you can publish anything.

I love Dean Koontz. Hands-down he is my favorite author. This book has interesting characters and typical Koontz humor... but it was a bit all over the place. I liked it. I just think if an unknown submitted this for publication, it would have gotten passed over. If you love Koontz, this is worth the read, but if you are just discovering him... skip this one for some of his other work and come back when you are a true fan so you can appreciate the nuances of this one!

Engaging Mechinations

Revisado: 01-06-24

Initially, a struggle probably would have been less so if I had a Kindle or paper copy. The style was just hard to grasp/follow without my full attention, but not so much so that I was lost. The storyline and characters are interesting, however the details are often usurped for speed, flow and continuity. I enjoyed the tale and will read the sequels, I just think the world<s> have so much more flesh than this diet version, but probably makes it appeal to a wider audience.

unexpected

Revisado: 08-08-21

Good job on something a little different. I was not surprised by the ending, but definitely a fun, easy listen.

so I was not expecting explicit details

Revisado: 04-14-21

Story was fun; good banter; good readers, and then right before it ends... bam with a few too many descriptors for my taste. Maybe I should have looked for a content rating... otherwise a fun easy little read.

relistening

always a pleasure to read early Odd... the characters just walk from the page into your life and take up permanent residence.

sparks has become captain obvious

Revisado: 01-23-21

I guess the love story is supposed to be the focus, but from the moment Sarah's family was described I knew. then he states the obvious when the narrator reveals his involvement... seriously underestimating the average reader. I have truly enjoyed the few other sparks books I have read. I fell asleep listening to this one <after the ghost story> and when I woke up I just listened to the last chapter to ensure I wasn't wrong about the couple. my apologies to fans and author... I wasn't wrong.

True old fashioned mystery

Revisado: 07-30-20

could have done without the language and graphic sex, but the story was excellent. Well written to make you think you knew "who done it" and then it ended! A truly great read in the tradition of christy or hitchcock. voices were good... mostly...

what do you expect for $8

Revisado: 03-19-20

I guess I expected more... but really it was an easy listen... very "noir-esq" I suppose. I would have liked fewer timeline jumps and a bit more depth of character and plot with the tongue in cheek dialogue.

perspective

Revisado: 12-24-19

I like best the perspective that there is nothing new under the sun and that if we are to move forward as a nation/society/world we must quit insisting everyone believe the same and work toward a resolution that satisfies the needs of the people of our time. this is my own take away from this humor laden text not a point explicitly made by the author.

Unfortunately missing a Little Depth

Revisado: 09-22-19

Good story good characters I'm not sure the near writer and the character voices matched the voice is a little warm fuzzy for the actual story. I had to speed it up to 1.25 to feel like I could listen to it in an appropriate tempo. I do plan on reading the others in the series and as always carry Blackstock can tell a good story I think this one just felt a little short.
