 Dog lovers and Koontz fans will treasure this September 12, 2008
Okay so I'm a dog lover but Koontz writes the best atmospheric suspense hands down and captures the persona of golden retrievers, making them into the heroes of the story. Amy's adventure is highlighted by the marvelous scenes with her pack of rescued goldens. And Niki is reminiscent of Einstein in Watchers. The plot is far less thrilling than Watchers but still was a very good read. Maybe Dean was a golden retriever in a past life!
LOVED IT September 9, 2008
Best book i have read by author so far and i love all his books but this one stood out
More than just another mystery September 2, 2008
The book touches both elements of spirituality and the unique relationships between dogs and humans. It does this while telling a 4-star tale of intrigue and unexpected relationships. I think if you're open to the first two concepts, this book is off the charts. If not, it's "merely" above average.
As a dog lover, I'm always fascinated by Koontz' views of human-canine relationships. In this book, he goes beyond the norm, explaining how the 2 species "grow" each other. Anyone who has had a dog touch them and improve their life in all aspects should read this. I think it adds more depth to those experiences.
If you're involved in special relationships with dog lovers, this may also be a great book for you. I think it is difficult for folks who aren't dog lovers to understand us. This book may help them.
At the very worst, it's a great read.
 Dark and Dismal August 25, 2008
This storyline was uninteresting and I simply could not finish but I know when I don't like something and this fits in that catagory. The dog and his owner seem detached enough to pull me away from the story. Life Expectancy was far more interesting and had the gravity to pull me into the storyline which ended up quite enjoyable leaving you with word of wisdom.
You may need to be a dog person to enjoy this book... August 18, 2008
Although a good quick read, I just couldn't get into this one? Dean has entertained me more in other books, but if you can relate to dogs and the love people have for them you can probably get into this page turner on an entirely different level.
I love the characters, especially "Piggy's" Mom. The descriptions and character development tugged at my emotions which really let me be pulled into the ending of this book. Your heart will drag you page by page as you put this twisted puzzle together.
