DESCRIPTION:
Dean Koontz, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers, lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Anna, and the enduring spirit of their golden, Trixie.
All rights reserved. While some may take this as satire, the over-the-top villain's underdeveloped motivation and a jokey narrative tone that jars when juxtaposed with terrifying scenes of violence will leave others scratching their heads. With almost superhuman ease, the book critic keeps track of Cubby and his family as they flee for their lives. By the time Koontz introduces a science fiction element, a lot of readers may have already checked out. . Cubby manages to find the syphilitic swine at Roxie's Bistro in Newport Beach, Calif., where the author's six-year-old prodigy son nearly pees by accident on Waxx in the restaurant's men's room. In retaliation, Waxx threatens Cubby with doom and gets things started nicely by blowing up his house. Bests
Impossible to put down!! I was initially given this book in hardback not too long after it was released by a friend who had similar reading interests. She is a HUGE Dean Koontz fan but said she was really disappointed in this particular book. I was thrilled to not have to wait until it can out in paperback to be able to read it and I have to tell you, I think my friend was having a REALLY, REALLY off day!! I personally think this is one of Dean's best books!! The everyday subject matter, the impossible cruelty of crime in general, fueled by supposedly rational . Used to Love Koontz - now so tired of his Deus ex Machina Back in high school - a million years ago - I loved Dean Koontz. I know he was always seen as a "poor man's Stephen King", but I found them vastly different - Lightning, Twilight, Darkfall - I ate those books up. And they all had a touch of the unbelievable in one way or another, but it was never used a cheap plot device. It was never relied upon to neatly tie up the loose ends of a poorly written narrative.Well, that's all it is in this book. Which is a pity, because until the last 1/8 of the book, I really thought the Dean Koontz I re. Found it hard to put this book down. This book kept me wanting for more. I had a hard time putting this down. Definitely an edge of your seat reading. I like how Dean Koontz adds some humor into his writings. And dogs, well, always hoping that since he's a dog lover, they never get killed off or maimed bad. I consider this an easy read book.
Bestselling novelist Cullen “Cubby” Greenwich is a lucky man and he knows it. For Waxx gives criticism; he doesn’t take it. Penny knows it; even little Milo knows it. Cubby just wants to get a look at the mysterious recluse whose mere opinion can make or break a career—or a life.But Shearman Waxx isn’t what Cubby expects, and neither is the escalating terror that follows what seemed to be an innocent encounter. If Lassie could talk, she’d tell Cubby to ignore them, too.Ignore Shearman Waxx and his poison pen is just what Cubby intends to do. His wife, Penny, a children’s book author and illustrator, is the love of his life. He has ways of dealing with those who cross him that Cubby is only beginning to fathom. Until he happens to learn where the great man is taking his lunch. Together they have a brilliant six-year-old, Milo, affectionately dubbed “Spooky,” and a non-collie named Lassie, who’s all but part of the family.So Cubby knows he shouldn’t let one bad review of his otherwise triumphant new book get to him—even if it does appear in the nation’s premier newspaper and is penned by the much-feared, seldom-seen critic Shearman Waxx. Soon Cubby finds himself in a desperate struggle with a relentless sociopath, facing an inexorable assault on far more than his life.Fearless, funny,
