![]() ![]() (Harris’s is very direct and is a master of crafting both vivid, lifelike characters and heart-stopping suspense King, meanwhile, is quite wordy, but nevertheless highly readable and entertaining…and often terrifying.) Another reviewer called Koontz the knockoff to King’s Gucci handbag. While I love both writers dearly, that is not a compliment. Rather, Koontz’s novel reminded me of a Thomas Harris wannabe trying to write more like Stephen King. The back cover also declares it to be “ Silence of the Lambs meets Marley & Me.”Īs someone who counts Silence as one of their all-time favorites (in terms of both story and characters), let me tell you: this was nothing like it, except that dogs featured in both. Also, crazy people–though Koontz’s variety were pretty sub-par. This book came with the recommendation of a dear friend I wish I had liked it better. ![]()
