Work detailsThe Good Guy by Dean Koontz (2007)
The Good Guy delivers suspense, thrills, mystery, and non-stop action. Koontz takes an ordinary scene of a man enjoying a beer after work and turns it into a thrill ride as Tim is mistaken for a hit man. Being the good guy that he is, Tim involves himself in saving the real hit man's target and in trying to figure out why. Koontz's writing style is smooth transitioning the reader into the middle of the action as well as fast paced keeping the reader turning the pages. All of the characters are well developed including the book's creepy villain. The story has many twists and turns as well as a satisfying conclusion. Overall this was a great read that I would most definitely recommend. (  ) Sable677 | Apr 28, 2013 |  With the note "Kill me instead" on the front I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a very good read. Plenty of action, maybe the plot was slightly far fetched at times but it certainly kept me captivated. ( ) nigelbarker | Nov 19, 2011 | My first Koontz book... maybe my last. Not that he's a bad writer... it's just that there are so many books out there that I want to read, and his books are quick reads with mediocre substance. Aerow | Aug 15, 2011 | The ending disappoints given the buildup of these people’s secrets; they’re not that omg and it’s wrapped up a bit too neatly. The central relationship is realistic, warm, and palpably full of chemistry. (  ) marcelrochester | Aug 3, 2011 | the plot itself is rather boring,or should i say ER Burroughish? the characterizations, though, are outstanding, as is the twist. yes, we knew withj that kind of support given him, that Kurt whatis was hired by an agency or department of the government, but what fells the killer is Tim Courrier's statujs from his war service. That is why he also could get a moment with the president of the United States. It is not one of Koontz' best efforts. In fact, I had to force myself to go on through th emidsection of the book.
