A great pseudo sequel to Watchers!

Revisado: 04-16-21

Growing up, my older sister was an avid reader. her favorite novels were primarily horror, thrillers and science fiction. when she found one that she particularly like, she would give it to me after she was done.
A couple decades ago, my sister gave me a book to read, it was called Watchers. I was instantly enthralled with the premise. what wasn't to like? it had monsters it had murder and it had a super intelligent golden retriever named Einstein! Even though I had never had a dog, I had always loved them and was engrossed in this book. throughout the years,
I read watchers every few years, but not until my 40s when I got my first dog (her name is Harley) did I fully appreciate how special the novel was. recently, after having had a dog for 4 years, I once again returned to the novel and given my new and unconditional love for our canine companions, found that I love the book even more than I ever have. Even better, I was able to listen to it on audible when I commuted to work which made the drive more than bearable, but enjoyable. Once again, my sister knowing how she had shaped my taste in literature had recommended that I checked out Devoted. All she would tell me is that it was a spiritual sequel to Watchers.
I decided to use my credit on audible to purchase the book. Knowing Dean Koontz, I figured it would be a good book, but never expected to like it anywhere near as much as I did the original. Right away, I felt a deep connection to the characters and fell in love with kip. the novel is predictable, but it still doesn't take away from the sheer joy and wonder it instills. I don't normally write reviews, but I felt so strongly about how much I enjoyed this novel, that I felt compelled to share and tell people they should give this a listen. if you are a fan of the original novel, or you just have a great love for dogs, science fiction and thrillers, you should definitely check this out.

Not as compelling as The Exorcist

Revisado: 02-28-21

All I can say is, after listening to William Peter Blatty narrate The Exorcist, listening to Legion was underwhelming. The problem was twofold, story didn't hold up as well and the narrator was bland. This was quite a disappointment, considering that I really enjoy the movie that's based on this book. if you're going to listen to this book I highly recommend not doing it right after listening to The Exorcist, because it pales in comparison.

Although these were facts I already knew, it was good to hear them laid out.
