I read this book for the May group read for the Dean Koontz Group, of which I'm currently a member. Unfortunately, I can't really say that liked this one at all. It seemed to me that it was both lacking and overdone at the same time. Lacking in characterization (which is important to me), but overdone in drama and strangeness.Dean Koontz is not the best character writer. This is a big deal for me, because characters are my vehicle to the story. I don't care how great the plot is, or how uniqueMy thoughts:I read a lot of Koontz when I was younger. 13 books in a couple weeks once, had to quit reading his stories because I started to be afraid to go out in the dark by myself - I got over it! I was thrilled when I got this audio book as a gift even though I had read it during what I called my "Koontz phase." Many of the books had run together in my memory because I read so many in such a short period of time, but this one always stood out as truly scary and one of my favorites. I was
DNF...That was one of the most disappointing and let down books from a writer i have read from for the the third time and the other works were far more superior..I dont know what happened with this one.. it did not stick with me.. i was not concentrated while reading it.. it had me rolling my eyes from the cliches and the bad characterization.. phew.. lets hope the next novel from Koontz is not the same mess..

Every eye sees its own special vision;every ear hears a most different song.In each man's troubled heart, an incisionwould reveal a unique, shameful wrong.Stranger fiends hide here in human guisethan reside in the valleys of Hell.But goodness, kindness and love arisein the heart of the poor beast, as well.- The Book of Counted SorrowsHoly Wowzers! Certainly one of Dean Koontz's best. Similar to Cold Fire, but The Bad Place is more bizarre & disturbing. An impressive Cross-Genre novel with
For me this is one of the most interesting books by Dean Koontz. This because he manages to write an SF book - and I lóve SF - with influences from multiple other genres.
read for the theme - was a best seller the year you graduated high school I tend to stay away from authors that seem to churn out book after book after book. This is one of those authors to me but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The first 2 chapters had me thinking I was going to hate this book. It was wordy and overly descriptive and used certain words to just be impressive. Bleh. By chapter 3 I was used to the writing and found myself being pulled into the book deeper and deeper. I
This book was a nice change from Koontz usual stuff. The main characters dilemma is intriguing: he teleports randomly and without control, finds unusual stuff in his pockets (and occasionally blood on his hands) and has no memory of who he is, where hes been, or what in Gods name is going on. That alone would make this a good read, but theres also some pretty fascinating bad-guy characters, like the vampire-like killer, his psychic and decadent sisters, and their devoted, lunatic, deceased
