New Style from Koontz September 23, 2008
"This book was a little out of genre for Koontz. It reads more like a Harlan Coben novel. However, since I love Coben AND Koontz, once I got over looking for 'Koontz trademarks', I really enjoyed this book.
No, there are no aliens or supernatural stuff. But, there is a great storyline with a good surprise.
Try it. If you really like it, go buy some Harlan Coben books, they will be right up your alley."
 Another amazing tale from Koontz September 23, 2008
I couldn't put it down! I read the whole book in one setting. Don't pick it up until you have time to immerse yourself in another wonderful story.
 Not his best, but definitley worth the read September 15, 2008
My mother recommended this book to me, and I was a little skeptical at first, mostly because of the title which seemed a little off for Koontz but five pages in I was completely hooked. Though not in the least bit scary, this thriller took off with a lot of power, and I really felt for the characters right from the beginning and there were plot twists that came as a welcome shock to the plot.

I have been a fan of Dean's since forever. This book is beyond a doubt one of the best ever. If your a fan of Koontz you won't put the book down till the end for that matter if you have never read Koontz start now. It will be the best thriller you ever read..................
For Better or Worse August 1, 2008
Dean Koontz propels this suspenseful story with the drive of a young caring husband, Mitch Rafferty. At the onset, Mitch has a storybook life; the young and beautiful wife, a successful business of his own, a home. As each page turns demons emerge from his past. His parents are cold, unfeeling statues who repel the children in their adulthood. His brother's true identity is revealed to be a criminal, his three sisters have distanced themselves from the family.
Suddenly in the midst of a beautiful day at work, he is slammed with the news of his wife's kidnapping. The captors demand two million dollars for her release. A mere landscaper doesn't have that kind of cash.
The story that ensues feels like a hundred stories told before it. It is Die Hard, Fracture, Lethal Weapon, and uses the same old action and twisting adventure template that sells millions of copies. It stays true to the high body count, shocking revelations, betrayal, unmasking the bad guy at the end kind of structure that does it job keeping the pulse pounding, but does little for the imagination.
Not a bad read. I still recommend The Husband. However, prepare to be reminded.
