Is it plagiarizing if an author steals from their own writing? Liberally lifted storylines from Odd Thomas and Twilight Eyes. Maybe Mr Koontz thought since that book was a long time ago it was ready for a reboot? Oh well, still enjoyable even if not original. I just wish he would stop having every single character speak like they are in a Shakespeare play.
*pants*I just realized Dean Koontz sensei has a new book free for the Kindle Unlimited elite!! I almost missed it!!!Guess what?Some literary agencies plants have dozens of GR accounts to attack Dean Koontz sensei and Patricia Cornwell sensei LOL!!!!!! They're like trying to make it look like KU is unfair for libraries to have the twitter readers that jump into social causes reject Koontz sensei, but KU itself is a library, the best one IMO!!! No matter, the fans keep purchasing/borrowing books b...
Since he signed with Amazon’s publishing company, it seems Dean Koontz has a renewed vigor when it comes to his writing. I have at least liked everything he’s published with them (though I haven’t read his ebook exclusives yet) and I have loved two: Devoted and this. Quicksilver is easily my favorite though, which is funny because the synopsis didn’t really grab me going in. What can I say: this is Koontz doing what he does best. Quirky, likable characters that don’t become annoying … something
When Koontz is good, he's very good. When he's bad he gives us guff like Quicksilver.A horrible, turgid mess of a novel with no sense of drama because every situation is quickly solved by another ridiculous coincidence usually as a character discovers another power that just happens to be exactly what they need at that moment.With a plethora of stupid characters who all talk in pithy nonsense, none of whom the reader can engage with and a narrative that is all.over the place, this is an utter ch...
This started like a fun YA version of John Dies At The End but as it went on it got more self righteous, pretentious and heavy-handed. Koontz seems to have an agenda with this book and it has thematic similarities with Koontz's Nameless series. 3.25/5 Slightly disappointing.
Not a feel good book.If you are k looking for an uplifting book, this isn't it. A bizarre tale with no redeeming qualities. Depressing and dark. Not like the Koontz of old. I would not recommendIt.
“We are what we are, and we need to have faith in that.” Fun, witty narrative, with snarky metaphors that made me smile and laugh quite a few times, even though the circumstances were dire, making the story very entertaining and light hearted. The characters were likeable, too good a person, and always on the winning side. Suspenseful and intriguing at the beginning, it lost its lustre after the awaited revelations. It was still a great, light and entertaining plot though, although not in the sa...
This looks to be the start of another Koontz series similar to his Odd Thomas series, and the lead characters are so similar to that series that they could be switched without much loss of character. The main character, Quinn Quicksilver, is endearingly naive at first, as was Odd, and the main female character, Bridget, is a mirror of Stormy. My wife would give it 5 stars, but I'm a bit more discerning. That said, the novel was still a fun read. Koontz uses his excessive command of the English l...
