I hate putting down a book once Ive started it, until I have turned that final page. But in life sometimes exceptions must be made and this is definitely one of those times. What can I say? This book, this story, simply did not connect with me in any way. I suppose that the concept does indeed have promise, but what ever little bit of interest it was successful in generating within me has wicked out. The characters are beige, the scenes are beige, the writing is blah, blah, blah, full of cliché,The first time I read this book I was in 8th grade, and wasn't exactly brimming with literary experience. Now I'm 26 and just read it again for the second time... my god, I can't believe how awful this book is. I'll be fair and mention the positive first: the "bad guys" are rather... unique. You won't find characters like them in other books. And I thought their psychology, the plot twist at the end, and some of the strange powers that they have and places they get to were pretty interesting.
Did Not FinishThis was picked up on a whim. The blurb caught my interest. The first several chapters were great. But then the story switched to a killer killing a family in their home. No thanks. And upon reading other reviews, it only gets worse.
1st Read: December 23, 1995 - December 31, 1996 (*** Rating) January 1, 1996 - January 12, 1996 This would be my third Koontz novel and it was just below par compared to the previous two of his I'd read. It left me a little confused that he chose to change up his format somewhat. It is very good reading though. The final ten chapters...my eyes and mind were on auto-pilot it was so damn good! 2nd/Final Read: May 31, 2017 - June 8, 2017 (*** Rating) My review remains for the most part, the same
I read this book when I was a preteen and loved it. I probably shouldn't have reread it.Parts of it are still interesting and creepy, like when you get the backstory about the family of mutants (for lack of better term). (view spoiler)[Incestuous relations that lead to a hermaphrodite, who self-impregnates herself (hide spoiler)], which leads to four kids with special powers. Makes no sense, but who cares? The backstory and the powers were all creepy, but frankly, King would have done it better.
The Bad Place - Dean R Koontz Let me just start by saying that I would actually consider this is 3.5 stars than just a 3! :) Frank pollard awakes at night, in the middle of an alley, with nothing but his confusion and panic. His mind is a complete blank; he cant remember who he is, doesnt recall how he got in the alley, and doesnt know who to turn to for help. He knows nothing but his name. Every time Frank goes to sleep, he wakes up with things he cant explain valuables in his pockets, blood
I liked this one :) so much better than ''The Taking'' , that book by Koontz was just horrible. The first two-three chapters were little bit confusing for me, I needed time to get into the story so I took breaks at the beginning, but when I did get into it, I wanted to know who,what,where,how?? It had some strange parts (hey it's Koontz) but in this type of books I guess it's normal. It's a mix of supernatural, mystery, thriller and little bit of romance. It was an entertaining story so rating
