1 out of 5 stars Save your money   August 19, 2008
I had to write a review for this book as it is a waste of your precious time reading it. The story builds nicely although it is not exactly a page turner. The ending (without giving anything away) is a huge disappointment. It reminded me of school essays where to end things quickly you write, "it had all been a horrible dream and they lived happily ever after". At least I know better now than to waste my time reading any of his other books!


2 out of 5 stars It's just OK   August 2, 2008
This book wasn't one of Koontz's best.
The dog angle was a bit weird and not very interesting, I think he can do better.



3 out of 5 stars Easy read but not his best.   July 27, 2008
This is a good read,well it only took me a couple of days to finish it which is always a good sign with me.

However once again I`m left feeling let down by Koontz ending,it`s getting to be a regular thing with him now,he builds up the story and the characters really well especially the `bad guys` only to polish them off in this case just under a full page...bang and she was done....indeed.




4 out of 5 stars Shaggy Dog story with a twist.   July 19, 2008

Returning to Dean Koontz after a number of years I wasn't let down by this story of people's past catching up with them. The book centres around Amy Redwing, abandoned at birth she finds solace in the company of Dogs and the book begins with her rescuing a Golden Retreiver from it's drunk,abusive owner. What follows is standard Koontz territory but written in such a way that makes it compulsive reading. The insight into the bond between man and dog is especially moving. Recommended, especially to anyone who loves dogs.

I loved this book. It had so many twists in it, and a rich plot of several characters that all come together. I couldnt put it down. The Retriever reminded me of Einstein (watchers)one of my favourite Koontz books. Any Koontz fan will love it.
