The Good Guy is one of Dean Knootz best books in my opinion. I also loved Velocity, Odd Thomas series, Life Expectancy, Relentless and The Husband.

The Good Guy by Dean Koontz is a prime example of the work produced by a skilled writer with a great and scary imagination. The characters are very well drawn and very easy to visualize. The "villain" is especially fun to follow on his quest to defeat "the good guy". I love the concept of "the Gentlemen's Club".

I highly reccomend this book to anyone who is already a Dean Koontz fan and to anyone who is not yet a fan.
