Fabulous!
This book is written in a similar vein to those early novels by Stephen King. It is futuristic to a degree, but entirely believable. The characters are loveable and the plot keeps you from wanting to put it down. Very well written!
One of his best books
Such an imaginative story! Seems so believable
One of my top three Dean Koontz books. This book has everything. My dogs have always found me…I’m waiting for my Golden.
Any book written by this author goes immediately to the top of my reading list! He never disappoints.
One of my favorites.
I re-read this book every few years and enjoy it each time. Dean Knootz is a master at setting a scene, building suspense and contrasting light and dark. Love Einstein!
This is a wonderful book. It is a page turner.
I absolutely loved this book. I’ve even re-read it twice, which I never do.
This is one of my all-time favorite books. It was the first Dean Koontz book I ever read and it made me a Dean Koontz fan.
Loved the dog!
One of Koontz’s best. A really compelling story of lost souls finding each other and how kindness and love triumphs amid some scary happenings.
This may be one of Dean Koontz earlier books but I think it is my favorite. A fantastic read.
Suspenseful. I think it’s one of his best books
I loved this book! It was so cool to have a dog so smart. All dog lovers wish their dogs could be that brilliant. But the scary character in this book is very creepy and a little sad. Dean Koontz is an amazing author.
Excellent read
Easy reading, unusual subject matter.
A dog is one of the major characters. What’s not to like?
My favorite Dean Konrtz book. I’ve read it twice enjoyed both times
