Book Reviews of The Good Guy
Book Review: Lots of spooks, but no ghosts, and GR8!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read most of Koontz' books, liked "The Husband," but this one beats it. No supernatural stuff, just a plain old thriller that really is funny, intriguing and a fast read. The underlying spook-FBI conspiracy premise may not be new, but... as in other Koontz works, the characters make the book. The good guys (and girls) are blends of those we have met in the past, lovable AND believable, once you figure out the whole story, battling one of the most eccentric neurotic/psychotic villains in fiction. For animal lovers though, no dog hero (sorry). As for the ending, had me guessing all the way through. Koontz is definitely on track with this book and hope to see more like them, with or with out the ghosts. Take it to the beach!Book Review: MY FAVORITE!
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS MY FAVORITE DEAN KOONTZ BOOK EVER! Starts out making you laugh and keeps your attention in the action and mystery after that!Book Review: Mr. Koontz kept the pages turning,
Summary: 5 Stars
which is why I gave this book five stars. If I were "grading" on plot and believability I might take off a star or two. Other reviewers have mentioned the shaky plot points. I only care that I couldn't put the book (actually my iTouch running the Kindle app) down. The author casually mentions things early on that don't get explained until the end, and I wanted to find out the "big picture". The action is pretty intense too.
A good read.
Book Review: Not so Great
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't typically read Dean Koontz, but once in awhile I will pick one up. From the very beginning of this book, I had trouble getting into it. The story line just seemed confusing and jumbled from the start. I bought the book, so I forced myself to read it, but every time I picked it up, I just dreaded it! The ending did have a bit more excitement, but maybe that was just because I knew I was almost done.Book Review: OK BOOK ! Promises a lot , but ends in nothing !!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is Dean koontz book yes . It starts with a great premise and kicksoff well . But the ending is very flimsy... there is no enough reason (not even one good reason) to kill the girl. Finally it looks like a comedy . Koontz suddenly wanted to finish the book and he did not get good ideas to relate . Better luck next time koontz !!!!
At the end of the book , one cannot help the feeling that WHAT A WASTE OF TIME and MONEY!!
