Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz - Velocity

If you don’t have the stamina for a book review right now, scroll down to the question at the bottom for an interesting ethical debate!

The last time I read a Dean Koontz novel, he was specifically a writer of horror stories. That was a fair few years ago to say the least, and in the meantime Koontz seems to have transcended the pure horror genre. These days, he seems to be writing in the more modern, more lucrative thriller style.

My cynicism (for Koontz’s motives) aside, the man has not lost his touch. Velocity is a fast-paced crime thriller, but manages to raise some interesting moral and ethical questions at the same time.

Dean Koontz - The Taking

Dean Koontz is a veritable thriller factory. Looking at his catalogue of work, it seems he pumps out a novel every day just before breakfast. I came across a copy of The Taking lying around our house as books sometimes do. I opened it up, intending to sample a chapter or two, and ended up finishing the book in record time.
