Breathless by Dean Koontz

Breathless by Dean Koontz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of Dean Koontz so I was excited to read another one of his since it had been a while. I love his style of writing and feel like he consistently provides a visceral experience that I really enjoy. As with many of his books, there are several independent stories going on and each chapter switches between the sets of characters. With this style comes short chapters, which I like because it makes it a lot easier to pick up and read a bit when I just have a few spare minutes. All that to say, this is probably one of my least favorite of his books. To me, it felt almost as though he lost interest about 3/4 of the way through and just tried to find a lazy way to tie everything together. I thought it developed some interesting themes and story lines, then each and every one fell pretty flat at the end. Worth the read for a fan of Dean Koontz, but pretty low on the list for anyone looking to experience one of his books for the first time. View all my reviews
