Critic reviews

"Koontz is a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thriller and perhaps the leading American practitioner of the form.” ( The Star-Ledger)

“Koontz writes first-rate suspense, scary and stylish.” ( Los Angeles Times)

“A rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself. He writes of hope and love in the midst of evil in profoundly inspiring and moving ways.” ( Chicago Sun-Times)

better the second time around

this is the second time I've listened to this story and it's better the second time I only hope that Mr Koontz will one day revive Frankenstein together with Carson and Michael and of course Jocko

The best of the series

I think this was the best book in the series. Yes, it was a continuation of book four. I'm still not sure of the end. He says he'll be back, so I don't know if this was really the last in the series. We'll just have to wait and see, but Koontz left the door open for another story. I also love Jocko, he is a great character. The narration was excellent as well. I highly recommend it.

Disappointing

I loved this series and have been looking toward to this final book for along time. I listened over 3 hours trying tp give it a chance to get better, but I had to give up. It's just a string of one disgusting over descriptive events after another. No story, no characters you get in to. I can't believe this is by the same author. Save your money and time. It is terrible!

Love it

As always dean koontz delivers on a great story line, just wish it wasn't the last one.

I can't believe it's over!

I loved these books! They are engaging and inspired quite the imagination! the characters are rich and you find yourself rooting for them. HIGHLY recommend!

The ending made me cry

it gets a little preachy and pseudo religious at times but the end made me cry.

Good ending to a great series.

I enjoyed this book second most in the series, the third book was my favorite. Well written, good enough plot and the narrator was on point as usual. Great characters, but the bad guys lacked the personality of the earlier books. Still worth a listen.

Sad for it to end.

I listened to all 5 books one after the other and have to say it is amazing. You really get involved with the characters and even as a 58 year old man it brought tears to my eyes a couple of times. Well worth the listen!

narration

I absolutely love this narrator. He did an amazing job with the characters. He brought this story to life.

you really can't go wrong with the Dean Koontz book.

It's the characters It's always the characters with him he brings them to life fully
