A lot of the chase sequence could have been avoided, but overall, we get to know the duality of the protagonists (who do not think they are "good,") and the antagonists (who think they are perfect in compassion).. This also is the most intersting usage of Dean's chiarcuric storytelling technique and runs just short of "perfect" becaquse it shouldn't take a week to read a book, not even one written by such a good writer at DK, (  ) andyray | Oct 6, 2009 |  Too exhaustive reading, too much detail, too many words. Should have been condenced. (  ) bobleino | Jan 28, 2008 | meursault06 | Mar 26, 2007 | haven't read in a long time (  ) norby | Mar 16, 2007 | I enjoyed this a lot. Dated 1994 - I couldn't help but consider things like Google Maps that we all have access to today. ( ) suzstina | Mar 5, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 034539657X, Mass Market Paperback)Praise for DARK RIVERS OF THE HEART"A humdinger of a chase novel [that] explodes with all the giddy excitement of a half-dozen James Cameron pictures. DARK RIVERS OF THE HEART deserves to go to No. 1 on the bestseller list." --Entertainment Weekly "A fresh surprise on virtually every page . . . and a pyrotechnic denouement full of marvelous mayhem." --The Washington Post "Mr. Koontz has succeeded where many genre writers have failed: He has switched gears . . . and written a believable high-tech thriller." --The New York Times "As usual, Koontz's writing is flawless: clean, clear exposition, colorful description, precise narration, and realistic dialogue. DARK RIVERS OF THE HEART is exciting, entertaining, and thoughtful." --The Denver Post "It is difficult to imagine a reader who won't be hooked by this thriller about government power run amok and a man and woman on the run from the madman who wields that power. Unrelenting excitement, truly memorable characters, and ample food for thought." --Kirkus Reviews (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:54 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
