 Rating:  - A Bridge Novel linking "Odd Thomas" to "Darkfall"As a longtime reader of Dean Koontz, it's been a fun ride watching Koontz adapt and change his writing style over the years. From the bleak and horrifying novels such as "Phantoms" and "Strangers" to his newer off-kilter and often time humorous books like "Odd Thomas" and "Life Expectancy". Koontz never fails to deliver a solid thriller, it's just that lately it seems more humor is finding its way into his work. "The Good Guy" is sort of like a bridge connecting the old Koontz thrillers like ... Read More Rating:  - I like the change in Koontz writingHe seems to have a lot more humor than in the past. I had lost interset in reading his books around 1998 - and then I bought LIFE EXPECTANCY and have noticed an enormous change. Hey Dean - I'm BACK Rating: - The Dean Koontz Action NovelThis is a Dean Koontz action novel...nothing supernatural or otherworldly here. There is not even anything terribly odd. However, if you like Mr. Koontz' other books chances are you'll enjoy "The Good Guy." Tim Carrier, bricklayer, is mistaken for a hit man while sitting in a bar and accepts a down payment to murder a woman. When the real hit man comes on the scene things start to get dicey. What really drives this story is the mystery behind Tim, the woman, and the real ... Read More Rating: - Koontz at his bestThis is one of Koontz's books that I could follow. I've never seen a more versatile author when it comes to writing styles. Because of this, I can't say that I'm a fan of all his work. I did like: Cold Fire, The Strangers, Whispers, and Life Expectancy...to name a few. I couldn't sink my teeth into the Odd Thomas series, though. Koontz is one of the most unique writers out there today. I can only hope to have the fan base he's earned over the years. Rating: - The Good GuyIt is always nice to sit down with a good book, that will take me many miles away, forgetting everything in my day to day life. If you want mystery, action, suspense, and a thrill ride - then, I suggest to read this one. Tim Carrier "The Good Guy" is your everyday average man - he's a mason. Sitting in a bar, relaxing, having a drink - he is mistaken for a hit man when he is handed an envelope by a stranger. Moments later, the real assassin enters the bar and Tim takes it upon himself to ... Read More |
