Kind of a lot of rehashing the same point for the whole book. I feel like she gets the point across in the first chapter.

Sometimes just a little SK is all you need. I love the ones where the women win.

I was immediately engrossed. Her writing and narrating are superb and her story is inspirational

This is a fun little story that grabs you immediately and keeps you interested the whole time. Great book if you’re one of those people who could spend a whole day binging the paranormal shows on Travel Channel (I can).

I ended up deciding to just enjoy hating this book. I had many opportunities to yell out loud about how stupid the current situation was. It’s full of cliches and toxic masculinity. If it hadn’t been assigned as the month’s Book Club pick, I wouldn’t have bothered finishing it. I’m sure the Book Club session will have a lot of laughter while discussing this trash.

The story is very good and while Will Patton is a talented narrator, I’m pretty tired of his inflection and he is on too many of SK’s books. He’s got sort of a zoned out way of reading in parts.

I really loved this book. SK always seems to bring the heart to a story when it’s about kids. The narrator was engaging, though some of his character voices were ridiculous. Fortunately, those were on very minor characters. Another winner for the King of Fiction.

I started off really liking this, but then it got pretty hokey near the end and by the last hour, I was dying for it to be over. Predictable ending.

I couldn’t get through this - the narrator was terrible. I hate when the authors do the narrating, unless they’re also actors.

I’m not sure if Koontz’s intention was to make the protagonist sort of like the old time detectives, but there seemed to be quite a bit of cheese in her dialog.

While the narrator was good, I’m not a fan of females trying to sound like men. It makes all of the male characters sound like Red Forman on That 70s Show.

This was my 3rd Dean Koontz book and I know people love him, but I really liked one. Couldn’t finish another and this one is in the “meh...” category.
