Sole Survivor

This ranks up there wit the best of Dean Koontz. Only "Lightning" thrilled me more. The characters are deep and you cannot help but be pulled into their personalities. The pace is non stop and the mystery continues to deepen throughout. This is definitely worth the time.

This book kept me riveted from start to finish. I could not stop listening and finished it in two days.

It was really hard to get past Mr. Koontz's overuse of adjectives, jumps in time/location, and overall droning and rehashing... but it was worth the wait to get to the last 2 hours of the book. The message was poignant and sweet and "worth the wait."

Like others, I like Dean Koontz books, but this one was extremely boring. They were a time or two were I actually fast-forwarded some of Carpenter’s whining and outrage. Especially the segment about the cookies baking Colorado woman.

Koontz paints a piture with his brilliant vocabulary as skillfully as the great painters of the past and present. In most of his books the picture painted fits perfectly on the his canvas and the reader is pulled into the picture. I found, that in this particular book, the canvas was too large for the picture - it Lacked the usual prcision and captivating story flow that invite the reader into the portrait. Although thoroughly enjoyable, I found it difficult to become as involved as I usually do and felt some dissapointment.

I am a fan of DK. This book deals with what it is like to be left alone, and then to be told your child is alive.

when he realizes someone did survived the crash

no particular one

surviving plane crash

Out of DK books this is not best but still an interesting read. His best books would be "One Door Away From Heaven" and "From the Corner of His Eye"

First off, I love Dean Koontz, but that being said...this book was tough to get through. One of the only titles this past year that I contemplated not finishing. I stay listening in hopes of a great twist or fantastic finish, but was left wondering why I made this purchase. Again, I love Dean Koontz, and was excited about the premise of this story but I would strongly suggest you find another Koontz title (maybe Lightning) or take your chances with another book. I do not recommend this one!

This starts out well enough but as it morphs into a vehicle for intelligent design it really goes to pieces. He should have left it as a supernatural thriller instead of trying to introduce ID rubbish. The argument that is used in the book for ID even contradicts itself (who designed the designer). Not one of his better books...This starts out well enough but as it morphs into a vehicle for intelligent design it really goes to pieces.

Dean Koontz is absolutely my favorite author, but I felt this one is way below his standards. It is the first of his books that I actually didn't finish. It was boring and full of fillers that kept taking you away from the story line. perhaps it is just me, but I can't recommend this one.
