Cover of The Economic Naturalist

  • Yet another attempt to explain everything using economics. Plausible as the explanations seem to be, many are just educated guesses at best. Still, it's a delight to read the questions, which are often quite insightful themselves.

Cover of Odd Hours

  • Rather slow-moving for a book of the Odd Thomas series, this fourth installment has more mystery than suspense. The role of the pregnant Annamaria is a complete mystery, but I'm sure will be revealed in the sequels. Koontz's asides on humanity are brilliant - sometimes so good that I had to ... (continue)

    Rather slow-moving for a book of the Odd Thomas series, this fourth installment has more mystery than suspense. The role of the pregnant Annamaria is a complete mystery, but I'm sure will be revealed in the sequels. Koontz's asides on humanity are brilliant - sometimes so good that I had to copy a few here and there. My biggest disappointment is with the thugs: Koontz makes them all stupid bozos who love talking nonsense, which Odd is able to kill or disable every time! Give me a break!

Cover of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein 3. Dead and Alive

  • *** This comment contains spoilers! ***

    On its own, this book is not that bad, just a bit bland. But being the culmination of his three-part Frankenstein epic, it is a major disappointment.

    On its own, this book is not that bad, just a bit bland. But being the culmination of his three-part Frankenstein epic, it is a major disappointment. The first in the series is electrifying, and it promises a dark and horrible world to be unfolded in subsequent sequels. The second book has a few unnecessarily slow moments, but it is still a gripping read. Now the third - it is nothing more than an embarrassment.

    What a waste of intriguing characters such as Deucalion, Carson O'Connor, Michael Maddison, the Werner abomination - none is really essential to the climax of the story (if you call it a climax). Of course we know Victor Helios will fall because of his own arrogance, but we don't expect him to fall so easily! What a let down by Koontz. Maybe he just wanted to finish the series and get it over with...

    ...or to move on to his popular Odd Thomas series, in which Deucalion will surely make a quantum leap and play a role. You're wicked, Mr Koontz.
