A Big Little Life Book Review

A Big Little Life

This book is very different from “Marley and Me”

It is about Trixie which is an angel and great dog and nothing mischievous.

No twists and turns in the plot, focuses on spirituality and humanity.

In between, Dean Koontz shares a bit of his personal life unconsciously and it is actually a great book on the love shared between a human and his dog.

BookSterHub Review: Brother Odd (Odd Thomas Novels) by Dean Koontz

Odd Thomas is one of the most loveable, humble, engaging and endearing “people” I know….even if he does see ghosts and is only a lowly fry cook! I came away from the series feeling as if I’d made a quirky, sweet, new friend. The scenes with the ghost of Elvis are both bittersweet, heart-rending and funny as hell.

The Husband by Dean Koontz

Posted on Monday, August 3, 2009 in General Fiction
The Husband

The Husband

The excerpted dialogue on the book’s front cover pretty much sums up what the book is about: a humble gardener who is suddenly informed that his wife has been kidnapped and that he has to pay her kidnappers two million dollars if he wants his wife back.

There were parts where the pace of the story was slow, considering the edge-gripping premise, as the author tended to use a lot of metaphors to rephrase the thoughts of the book’s main character. Koontz (the author) also tended to include an abundance of moments of sudden insight, which can be tiresome for certain parties.

It was, however, interesting to note the change in the style of writing according to the character whose point of view the author is currently telling the story from. Expect some references to social psychological theories of child upbringing, too, but nothing too difficult to grasp ;)

The verdict on ‘The Husband’ is that it delivered, as there were many instances where twists in the story just involuntarily made me think, “Oh, crap… What’s going to happen now??”

Definitely a book worth getting.
