Dean Koontz, Relentless

I have just finished reading this book last night and absolutely loved it.

I have to agree with the other review, that the ending does seems rather rushed.

Thats the same reason why i have given it 4 stars.

I don't need to say anything about this book, as it has already been said in a earlier review. I really enjoyed this book, although some of his later books are not on a par to his earlier ones, it was still a good read. I was disappointed in the ending as it was anti climactic for me. That said, I would recommend this book to a friend.

I won't go into plot details as that's already been mentioned but I loved this book! I got through it in three days flat and then lent it to my partner who did the same. Although I don't think it's the most original plot ever, it has a way of catching your imagination and I really found myself caring about the characters and felt involved with the story.

The reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because I was disappointed with the ending. To me it felt rushed and the book didn't feel nicely tied up as I'd expected. The ending was also very unbelievable, and although I'm happy to use my imagination, it comes at a price when a story only throws in a supernatural element right at the end as that's not what you've been investing in the whole way through.

Over all though, I loved this book and it's characters and I'm sure any Dean Koontz fan would enjoy it.

The latest book by bestselling author Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich receives rave reviews from fans and critics except reviewer Shearman Waxx. Cubby is outraged by the so called "nation's premier literary critic" ripping his work because he doubts the man even read it as the review is loaded with factual errors about the story line. On a whim, he goes with his six year old son Milla to confront Waxx at a restaurant in Newport Beach, California. In the bathroom Cubby's son almost urinates on Waxx so the critic has one word to say to the writer: "Doom

Cubby soon sees Waxx has been in his house, disabling security system and cutting off electricity and the phone lines. Soon afterward the house explodes though the family gets out in time. Cubby receives a warning from another author whom claims Waxx killed his parents, wife and children over an unfair disputed review. In order to keep his family safe, Cubby must kill Waxx and those conspirators abetting the man's terrorist campaign especially the leader of this silent group of deadly operatives; however he only knows of Waxx.

Conspiracy buffs will enjoy Dean Koontz's exciting thriller even if the secret society does not ring true and Waxx's motives never fully surface. Milo in some ways steals the show with his "Inspector Gadget" gizmos that even his parents are awed by him and unsure what he will do next. He may be a prodigy, but he has vulnerabilities and fears. Fans of Mr. Koontz and those willing to accept an over the Sierra Mountains plot with an even higher over the stratosphere villain will enjoy RELENTLESS as Waxx and company leave a violent calling card.
