Dean Koontz writes an novels that must be read immediately. But then they are over too soon.
One of the best books I have ever read…and I read a lot! Koontz always fulfills my desire for unpredictable, unbelievable, fantastical stories that keeps me turning pages but this one is by far his best. Made me wish for the possibility of experiencing these characters and creatures myself. I was sorry when it was finished. Other books don’t even compare!
As always Dean Koontz does not disappoint.
I enjoyed this book.
Loved it! Hard to put down.
Ok so let me start by saying I love Dean Koontz and have read most of his works. The Nameless series, great. Frankenstein, first 3 books fantastic last 2 pretty good. Jane Hawk? Please bring her back for more new adventures.
In Breathless, I thought I was missing something and re-wound the story several times and no, it was a confused mess. Too many promising plot lines just abandoned and no connection between multiple plot lines. Not the work I am used to from DK. I am sorry to say this is one of only a handful of audible books I have returned. Please just skip this one. (from my Goodreads}
Great potential pretty much wasted
DK is one of my favorite authors, loved this book and it’s twists and turns.
The first Dean Koontz book I had read in years, and he did not disappoint. I read it nearly one sitting, unable to put it down. I was uplifted by the characters and the ending, and simply felt happier for having read it.
Great Koontz!
Totally unbelievable, but pretty good read. Koontz leaves a lot of unanswered questions in this book, which made me crazy. Why did Henry decamp from Washington and to what purpose? What is the coming crash he keeps referring to? What is the reasoning for what he does? After Riddle and Puzzle show up, what is their purpose? Why do the animals freeze? They keep referring to the vet, Camilla, being tortured as a child, until she kills the guy at fifteen. And this has what to do with what? Halfway thru the book he is still introducing new characters. The best you can say is scattered. But, to give him credit, there are Goldens, and a Ford Explorer.
