So far, unimpressed.

The first two books were page turners, I couldn't put them down. And I waited three years for this book to be released, the release was pushed back and back with excuses such as, he wanted to make the plot realistic with current happenings. And it was released in Europe first and not even released in a hardcover. The first paragraph of the first chapter was pure poetry, it was beautiful but the rest of is going downhill more and more.

Sadly, many of Dean Koontz's books have been following this course. Perhaps I will be impressed by it yet but, looking at the reviews, I doubt it.

The conclusion to the Frankenstein series is a strangely assembled piece, drawing to a close a series which contained enough content for several more volumes. It follows directly from the second book, with the central characters pitted against each other in a war which will save or destroy humanity. Koontz continues to draw on his favourite fields as he ploughs through an eclectic mix of scenarios. There will be no surprise that an oddly intelligent dog turns up, however there are new developments in the final chapter that certainly are a surprise. The odd little troll is a bit of a misfire, the evil chameleon definitely a well created and welcome addition. It seems that these characters are shoe-horned in amidst the conclusion of the original story. This is definitely unfortunate since there was room for expansion with some of the story threads and the conclusion is a little weak, although most strands are drawn to conclusion. It's a quick and enjoyable romp, however as a series it could have offered so much more. ( )
