I'm glad I didn't buy into these other reviews. Like them, I thoroughly enjoyed Book 1 and by reading these reviews I was very worried about Book 2. L..Show More »uckily I downloaded it anyway and found out that:

A) It's *NOT* redundant. Like any saga I've ever read, it tries to keep anyone who just picked up this book a reference to what's going on. Other than that it's got new characters and the same wonderful storyline that captured me in book one.

B) While Scott Brick did a fine job on Book 1, the reader for Book 2 is just as engaging. I'm just as entranced by this book as I was the first because the story is so compelling.

Let me begin by stating that I have always been a huge Koontz fan - he has written some outstanding books, but I'm now starting to worry if he's ok. ..Show More »I really enjoyed Koontz's first two Frankenstein books and I was really looking forward to this one. I'll admit that I was a bit nervous about this book considering his last two novels were huge disappointments. Unfortunately, my fears were founded. It was like this book wasn't written by the same person who had written the first two. The dialog was weak, especially between Carson and Michael - they didn't seem like the same characters from the other books. Instead, it was like they had been beaten with a silly stick. And the thing that came from Harker - Koontz had been building the return of that thing all through book two to end up just delivering a goofy sideshow character in part 3. Frustrating. Despite what some have said in these reviews, the ending wasn't as bad as I anticipated - a slight reprieve from my having to give the book one star. Needless to say, I'm glad it's over.

I have to say although I love the Frankenstein series and the characters, I was totally disapointed in this book it just stopped in the middle I was l..Show More »ooking for part 2 and their wasn't one. I can only assume that he will finish this part of the Frankenstein series in the next book. I recommend waiting until the next one comes out before listening to it.

This was a great end to a great series. Hopefully, we will get to see these characters again. Exceptionally well read (again) by Christopher Lane an..Show More »d well written (again) by Dean Koontz. If you haven't read all the other installments in the series you will probably be lost. I just finished rereading Book 4, so moving to Book 5 was really enjoyable since the final book is simply a continuation of the 4th. I highly recommend this book and the entire series. It contains great characters that grow with the books and also presents a very unique Frankenstein concept.
