Your Heart Belongs to Me

De: Dean Koontz

Narrado por: Malcolm Hillgartner

At 34, Internet entrepreneur Ryan Perry seemed to have the world in his pocket - until the first troubling symptoms appeared out of nowhere. Within days, he's diagnosed with incurable cardiomyopathy and finds himself on the waiting list for a heart transplant. It's his only hope, and it's dwindling fast. Ryan is about to lose it all...his health, his girlfriend Samantha, and his life.

One year later, Ryan has never felt better. Business is good and he hopes to renew his relationship with Samantha. Then the unmarked gifts begin to appear: a box of Valentine candy hearts, a heart pendant. Most disturbing of all, a graphic heart surgery video and the chilling message: Your heart belongs to me.

In a heartbeat, the medical miracle that gave Ryan a second chance at life is about to become a curse worse than death. For Ryan is being stalked by a mysterious woman who feels entitled to everything he has. She's the spitting image of the 26-year-old donor of the heart beating steadily in Ryan's own chest. And she's come to take it back.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Koontz is a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thriller - and perhaps the leading American practitioner of the form." (Newark Star-Ledger)
"Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition." (USA Today)

Eh?

The book was rather slow not reaching any true action until its last quarter. Even after the action picks up it is not on par with other Koontz books. I really wish I had my $9.95 back. That being said I am still a huge Dean Koontz fan. Its impossible to come up with a winner every time.

Disappointing

I usually like Dean Koontz but this book sounded unfinished. Not in length but in depth. A lot of loose ends - like it was a story idea he just never got to round out.

Also, the writing was stilted. Its not a good thing when I start to notice the words more than the story.

I just finished Darkfall which is much, much better and his Odd Thomas books are great. Stick to those.

Not his best

Not his best work. The characters were a little deeper and more complex than much of Koontz' earlier writings. I like Koontz for his grim subjects but happy endings, but this one left me sad and disappointed.

Amateurish

This book reads like a story written by a first year writing student. Did you find it among your school notes Mr Koontz? I expected better from one of my favorite authors.

Story came together

As I was listening to this, I began to
wonder what it was about Dean Koontz that l had originally liked. It seemed odd and disjointed. I had trouble identifying with any character! However, thankfully he did tie the story together at the end.

If this had been my only Book by this author, I may have never tried another.
