xmasmom16 says "The Husband is the only Dean Koontz book I have never finished." about The Husband

xmasmom16 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:28:56 GMT

I really can't put my finger on it, but The Husband is the only Dean Koontz books I just couldn't get into. I tried reading it twice, but never even got much past halfway each time. All of his other books kept me interested from the very first page, but not this one.

If you are really into his books, like I am, you might find it a little different than some, but I don't think its a good different. It might be that I'm uncomfortable wtih the subject matter for some reason. I know his writing is good and this seems no different in that respect.

The whole premise of the book is not a new one and that, too, may have turned me off. I have, literally, read ever other thing Dean Koontz has ever written and, while some are better than others, I enjoyed each and every one of them.

Books, in general, are hard to review as everyone likes different things. I hope this helped, but not sure it will.

angie23 says "Dean Koontz is my favorite author" about The Husband

Like I've said before, I love Dean Koontz books. The Husband is another pulse-pounding thriller. One morning, Southern California gardener Mitchell Rafferty gets a call on his cellphone from a stranger saying that Mitch's beloved wife, Holly, has been kidnapped and that he has less than three days to come up with $2 million in cash. Of course, he's warned not to involve the police. While Mitch is still on the phone, the kidnapper proves his seriousness by directing Mitch's attention to a man walking a dog across the street. A moment later the man is shot dead. Mitch must walk a fine line-cooperating with the police inquiry into this murder without revealing Holly's plight. Koontz ratchets up the tension in a manner sure to captivate most readers, though some may find the ending anticlimactic. Other books from Dean Koontz that I love...Life Expectancy, Velocity, The Good Guy, Odd Thomas series and Relentless. He has a new one coming out in November! I can't wait. Oh, and in addition...

This book was kind of different from the normal Dean Koontz style. Having said that, I wasn't disappointed in it at all, it was a great book!...

Dean Koontz is brilliant at writing about real and believable characters who find themselves in very unusual circumstances. I can always find something of myself in his main characters which pulls me deeply into his stories. How far would you go to save someone you love? This book does not disappoint!

momsline says "i keep trying, but do not enjoy Koontz." about The Husband

momsline — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:14:13 GMT

I keep hoping that it is just me, but I do not like MR. Koontz. I started reading him in my twenties and pick up a new book now and then. I just do not like his style of writing. My oldest daughter loves him. I read his books to talk to her about them. We review different books together. I buy his latest through the year and give them to her as X-Mas presents.

Got to admit, the man has a twisted mind.

I actually began reading The Husband at a stay at a friends house. When I left I didnt have the heart to take the book from her, so I went straight to the store for my own copy!! Just in the weekend that i spent there I read almost the entire book, I found myself reading in the car! This book was unpredictable and exciting! All in all I loved it!!...

RtoastyRose says "spell bounding" about The Husband

RtoastyRose — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:44:55 GMT

Found The Husband, as with most of his books to be very spell bounding and hard to put down. Only took less than 2 days to read this one, so hard to put down. Would recommend this book to anyone and very worth the money. Left you on the edge of your seat wondering what would happen next....

Heleno says "Loved this book one of his best" about The Husband

wizmaster says "Good book, not as good as past titles" about The Husband

wizmaster — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 05:06:27 GMT

This books is a must for Dean Koontz fans. Contains all the necessary characteristics:

interesting plot
hero/heroine
unique dilemma

however, there is not a lot of spinetingling excitement as in other Dean Koontz books.

The ending also seems a little short. It seems very short and there seems to be lot not explained or expanded on in the past.

There could have been much more to the story. I was a little dissapointed in this novel. Used to much more from Dean Koontz.

cookiegd says "One of the better books he has written." about The Husband

cookiegd — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:55:37 GMT

This was one of Mr. Koontz better books. The story was very good , It was not predictable . The twists and turns were great and the back story was good . It was slowly reveled . So you wanted to keep reading to find the next turn . It was frightening but not unbelievable . The scary part is these could be your next door neighbors . You will enjoy this book....

amidala63 says "A non stop page turner" about The Husband

amidala63 — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:28:23 GMT

I found that this book was an exceptional piece of art and I enjoyed it totally I read it through in about 5 hours. A friend loaned me her copy and said you have to read this. Koontz is at the top of his game and still going strong. Well worth reading....
