Tick Tock

It has been soooo long since I finished this book. I do remember forcing myself to read it to the end. I think I just needed to see how an evil doll that magically comes to life and grows through the night could be explained plausibly. I actually found the notes at the back about how Dean formulated the story much more interesting than the story itself... but then science fiction is probably not my thing.

The Good Guy

It's been a little while since I finished this book and I'm already having to think hard to remember what it was about. Thank goodness I started this blog!
Probably not such a good idea reading it hot on the heals of The Husband since the main characters were a bit similar (gardener vs stone mason) both with capabilities we wouldn't have thought they'd possess. The best part was that I wasn't expecting the brother to be involved in the way that he turned out to be and I quite enjoyed the multi-layered reasons behind the whole contract in the first place.

The Husband

This is the first Dean Koontz book I have read in years! I enjoyed it quite a lot. (So much so, that I now have borrowed 2 more from the library just today!)
I was very surprised by the first twist but the others were a little more predictable. I have one unanswered question regarding the protruding 3 inch nail Holly was working on, and the nail Mitch found in the ceiling and felt a connection. I don't want to spoil it by being anymore specific but if anyone out there is reading this (!) and has read The Husband, I'd love to hear your take on that.
