Review

Praise for Dean Koontz: 'Odd Thomas is certainly a page-turner -- this is a read-at-a-sitting novel -- with a terrific final twist' Observer 'A terrific pursuit story ! clever, up-to-the-minute, and riveting' Guardian 'There's surprise after surprise, including a killer finale ! a read-in-one-go novel' Independent on Sunday 'Velocity hits its pace from the first page and races through to a suitably climactic ending' Sydney Sunday Telegraph 'Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler' The Times 'Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying' The New York Times 'One of the great masters of suspense, Koontz has an undeniable gift for playing on the reader's innermost fears ... What we have come to expect from Koontz are exciting, fast-paced thrillers that make your flesh creep. Once again, he doesn't disappoint' Northern Echo 'A modern Swift ! a master satirist.' Entertainment Weekly 'If Stephen King is the Rolling Stones of novels, Koontz is the Beatles.' Playboy 'Dean Koontz writes page-turners, middle-of-the-night sneak-up-behind-you suspense thrillers. He touches our hearts and tingles our spines.' Washington Post Book World 'Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. Serious writers might do well to study his technique.' New York Times Book Review 'Fast-paced and dark ! Koontz knows we live in a world where evil delights in justifying itself ! Classic literature that deserves a place on the bookshelf beside Orwell's 1984 and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.' California Literary Review 'Koontz is writing right where popular culture swells into something larger, just as it did for Homer, Shakespeare, and Dickens. He's got the gift.' Australian '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 'Inspires both chills and serious thought ! has the power to scare the daylights out of us' People 'The poet laureate of paranoid pop fiction' Denver Post 'Koontz achieves a literary miracle ! stunning physical description, unique turns of phrase' Boston Globe 'Near Dickensian powers of description' Los Angeles Times

Product Description

The stunning new thriller from one of the world's bestselling authors. Hostile reviews may have hastened the deaths of some writers, but Cubby Greenwich is made of sterner stuff. At least this is what he tells himself, meanwhile obsessing about the scathing review of his latest bestseller by Shearman Waxx in a national newspaper. A feared and therefore revered critic, Waxx has an aura of mystery about him that has carried him far as an arbiter of taste, but the mystery itself is about to break cover. In an unexpected encounter with Waxx, Cubby says one innocent word, but it is the wrong word, and it seems to trigger an inhuman fury in the critic, who becomes bent on destroying Cubby and everything he loves. For it soon becomes apparent that Waxx is not merely a ferocious literary enemy, but a ruthless sociopath. When Cubby finally learns the truth, can he save himself and his family from the appalling danger they are in? The terror has only just begun!

3.0étoiles sur 5 4 Star Page Turner, 2 Star Finale, Déc 17 2009
Par Pol Sixe "hpolvi" (Thornhill, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Relentless: A Novel (Hardcover)
Starts out well, Cubby and Penny Greenwich are married writers with a six yr old boy Milo and a pet dog Lassie. Milo is gifted and the family banter is mature and funny. They along comes a bad review in the NY press for Cubby's latest, Greenwich is a popular author and has many fans otherwise. Curious about the reviewer Cubby makes an effort to see the man Waxx.

And the chase is on. The Greenwiches run for their lives but slowly it is revealed these aren't your ordinary typists and that kid Milo and the dog Lassie are up to something. The Springfield Armoury Super Tuned Champion with Federal Hydra-Shok .45 ACP bullets makes an appearance as the Greenwiches fight back. Koontz leads the story on nicely with hints at the end of chapters as to what happens later. Some gore, previous murders are described in graphic detail. The Koontz staples.

And then we get the final showdown ,with some magic, and then the reason for it all is described....ah pfhtt, what a letdown.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Psycho Book Critic on the Loose, Juil 23 2009
Par N. Manning (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Relentless: A Novel (Hardcover)
Reason for Reading: Dean Koontz has a new book out!

Comments: Cullen Greenwich is a best selling author who is living a wonderful life and he knows it. Good money, nice home, loving wife, fine son (who at six happens to be a genius), what more could a guy ask for. Then his latest book is published and he receives a review from the nation's most renowned book critic, Sheardon Waxx. A scathingly bad review. Cullen usually just ignores bad reviews but Sheardon is somewhat of a recluse and when he finds out where he dines for lunch once a week, Cullen goes just to have a peek. The little peek turns into a chance encounter and what follows changes Cullen's life forever. His life becomes filled with terror as he and his family are stalked by a sociopath whose one goal in life is to kill them each very slowly.

As someone who hasn't read a lot of Koontz, just a few oldies a long time ago, and now his new ones, I'm finding that he does not stick to any one particular genre label. This book is pretty much your straightforward serial killer thriller with a bit of science fiction thrown in to give it a Koontz twist. Fast-paced, frightening, gruesome thriller that hooks you from the first chapter. A very hard book to put down once you get started. I'm a big fan of the serial killer thriller and this one does not disappoint. One thing I particularly like about Koontz's villains is that they show pure evil, there is no sympathizing with them at all. The science fiction twist was, well, fun and a mystery itself which I managed to figure out shortly before it was revealed. I really enjoyed the main characters of Cullen and his wife Penny. Cullen is a sensitive, all round nice guy type of man with a dark secret in his past while his wife is the author/illustrator of cute children's books but is an expert with weapons and has a fierce determination to fight back when she or her family are threatened. Penny's parents are very eccentric and a real hoot. Actually, there is a sense of humour running in the background throughout the whole book which pops up every now and then giving the reader an occasional chuckle to lighten the otherwise heavy tension.

I really enjoyed the book and know I'll continue to read Koontz's work as it comes out each year. Now just to find some time to tackle his extensive backlist! I really want to get the Odd Thomas and Frankenstein books first then go back to all the other ones.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Back on form again, Jui 28 2009
Par David S (Toronto, ON) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Relentless: A Novel (Hardcover)
After "The Darkest Evening of the year" and "My heart belongs to you", I had begun to fear Koontz had lost some of the natural pacing and story telling he is so well known for. Perhaps the death of Trixie just knocked him off his game; thankfully there is another dog at the Koontz home now according to the jacket, and maybe that is the difference. Regardless of the reason, "Relentless" sees a return to form, as Koontz writes in a way that keeps you gripped from start to finish. He really does do better when he just tells the story and avoids the desperate desire to describe the weather and other aspects in minute detail.

Written in the first person, Relentless has some of the quirkiness of the "Odd" series, containing a dark humour similar to that displayed in some of the author's afterwords in his republished titles. The storyline is more akin to that of Velocity however. If you liked either of those two novels, you won't be able to put this one down. And yes, there is a dog in this one too, which is as peculiar as many of its furry predecessors, in particular since it is NOT a Golder Retriever!

Looking forward to the third Frankenstein now!
