It got me curious, why does Addison Goodheart spark such rage in other people and will the hunter be in the novel? Smart move by Koontz, make one curious enough so one has to read his novel to find the answers... ( ) I think it's meant to be an origin story or an intro to the character that is in the full length novel: Innocence. I give it 3* which is generous. The MC is an 8 year old boy named Addison. After reading the Q&A and some reviews of Innocence which explain the odd behavior in people that see him, I've decided not to continue with the story. Big pile of verbose excrement. Worst thing Koontz has written. Period. Luckily, this piece of nonsense was only $0.99. That's a whole dollar too much. Funny thing is, it should have been even shorter than what it was. You can tell he bloated his word count with filler. He has entire pages of description that go nowhere. It's not scene building when you don't use the scene you've built. It's just boring. Other than future Odd Thomas and Christopher Show novels, I'm done with Koontz. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER With this darkly intriguing original e-short story, Dean Koontz sets the stage for his masterly new novel of mystery, suspense, and strange wonder??Innocence. ??The world is a machine that produces endless surprises and mysteries layered on mysteries.? Addison Goodheart is a mystery even to himself. He was born in an isolated home surrounded by a deep forest, never known to his father, kept secret from everyone but his mother, who barely accepts him. She is haunted by private demons and keeps many secrets??none of which she dreads more than the young son who adores her. Only in the woods, among the wildlife, is Addison truly welcome. Only there can he be at peace. Until the day he first knows terror, the day when his life changes radically and forever . . . Acclaim for Dean Koontz ??A rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself.???Chicago Sun-Times ??Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. ??Serious?? writers . . . might do well to examine his technique.???The New York Times Book Review ??[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.???Los Angeles Times ??Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition.???USA Today ??Characters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of [Koontz??s] work. . . . One of the master storytellers of this or any age.???The Tampa Tribune Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
