Breathless Dean Koontz 9780553807158 Books

In reading the reviews, I'm shocked that no one gets the message of this extraordinary book. First, as in most of Mr. Koontz's novels, there is a stark contrast between good and evil. Some say that it is too stark, too raw, but perhaps it is all too realistic.
The experience of the average citizen is very different from that of a police officer, investigaor, prison guard, or prosecuting attorney. Evil exists and Mr. Koontz looks directly into its icy heart.

But great good also exists - true compassion, self-giving, sincere faith. And this is the realm that the author likes to concentrate on while creating the conflicts that give his books such power, dynamism, and suspense. But Breathless goes a step beyond, a leap beyond, really, in introducing a theological construct of striking originality. What if an astonishing proof were given to humankind that a benevolent Being did indeed exist? It's a proposition so intriguing that its effects would be nearly limitless, perhaps ushering in a new age of light. To watch Mr. Koontz create the characters and weave the events of such a strikingly original story is to watch imaginative genius.

Priests and clergymen, of which I am one, are endlessly trying to convey the fathomless love and beauty of the Creator and his constant efforts to draw us to him. The author accomplishes this with such creativeness and subtlity that I am indeed breathless.

Breathless Dean Koontz 9780553807158 Books Reviews

Mr. Koontz is, if nothing else, at least consistent lately, consistently disappointing. After the Frankenstein Book 3 fiasco which took years to receive and ended up reading like a rush job to finish and poorly finished at that (he should have stayed with his co-authors as the other two Frankenstein books,#1 and #2, were much better)then we get another disappointment, the book "Breathless".

"Breathless" starts out with great possibilities and again stirred in me hope of going back to the "old Dean Koontz" style of writing where he spends considerable time making "masterpieces" of fiction. Unfortunately, my hope was dashed too soon as it too ended up reading not only as a rush job to finish it but also as an author that loses his idea so just grabs at anything to complete the novel.

I can't help but feel Mr. Koontz has spread himself so thin with his comic books that he can no longer devote the time it takes to write good novels. It is interesting that his websites state fans are praising his new books, though they are not listed. Perhaps he should read the reviews here and at other websites not paid for by him if he wishes to have honest opinions from those who have been providing him with a living through purchasing his books.

I no longer will purchase his hard bound books as his novels no longer rate spending that kind of money. From now on I will wait for the paperbook version which is cheaper. However if his writing continues to deteriorate, then I will actually wait for them to appear in thrift stores for 50 cents each, which is closer to what I would have valued both "Frankenstein #3" and "Breathless" at, well maybe a dollar.
Dean Koontz's book "Watchers" has been a favorite of mine since I was in high school, and I've always waited for him to produce something of the same caliber. Unfortunately, I've always been disappointed, and this book is not different at all. Seriously, it's like he sat down to write this book, got about halfway through it, and realized his deadline was in twenty minutes and threw some crap together and submitted it. It's really awful. The first forty chapters or so (they're short, don't worry) seem to be building up into this amazing science fiction book in Dean's favorite fashion, concurrent stories of multiple characters - Grady and Merlin stumbing across something in the woods, Henry killing his twin brother and his wife in an attempt to assume their identity, the homeless man with the scarred face... it all seems to be going somewhere and then it just doesn't. It just stops!! I can't explain the change at all, suffice to say they get in the car to go somewhere, one mystery is solved in like two sentences, then they drive to a freakin bar with Puzzle and Riddle... I won't ruin it for someone who hasn't read it, suffice to say, the end is a total rip off. I can't even believe he'd actually submit something like this! Dean, come on man. You're better than this.
This was a wonderful story. This is different than his other novels but just as great. I recommend this to anyone that has an imagination. Hope, what a beautiful thing and if you have an imagination there can always be hope. I know this review is not a lot about the story line but it is to me. Enjoy the read.
It was OK. Things that should have been explained weren't....like, what were those things and where were they from? And it ended as if Koontz was tired of it and just wanted to end it, so he did.

It wasn't a bad book, but it was just OK. Nice quick read.
Due to my job, from which I recently retired, it hindered my love of reading novels.

I chose this book as a kickstarter, having been an avid Dean Koontz fan. I liked his method of Introducing individual characters, and spends a chapter familiarizing the reader with them.

I was a little disappointed with the conclusion of one key character, and felt Dean could've developed a deeper storyline with them. In summary, I would recommend this book as the overall story was very entertaining and held the readers attention.
