One of my favorite Dean Koontz books. Fast reading and the ending was quite a surprise. ( )

I really enjoyed this one. Quick pace and keeps the page turning. I hadn’t figured out what was going on until the very end. Well worth the read. This is one of Koontz’s shorter novels so if you feel the need for a quick read, this one will fill the bill. Recommend. ( )

Not one of my favorate Koontz books, probably one of my least favorates actually. It just didnt keep me gripped like most of his novels do, kind of had to trudge through it. However, it had a very mysterious aspect to it, kept you guessing, which was great. Another nice part about this book was that the main character is very well developed, you really get to feel his journey through his grief of the loss of his family. The end has a pretty unexpected plot twist as well, so dont get me wrong here, this was a good book, as are basically all Koontz books, just one of his "not as good" great books if that makes any sense.

Like other Koontz books, I found the characters likable and well-developed and liked the suspense. The one drawback was an ending that felt a bit rushed, jumping from an edge-of-your-seat chase to a peaceful epilogue. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0553582941, Mass Market Paperback)

Joe Carpenter, the hero of Dean Koontz's newest novel, Sole Survivor, is a man nearly paralyzed by grief. One year earlier, his wife and two children had been among the 230 victims of a plane crash that left no survivors. So when Joe encounters a woman who claims to have been aboard that plane and survived the catastrophe, and then she almost immediately disappears, he is understandably riled up. In the course of trying to track this woman down, Joe finds himself entangled in a web of shadowy conspiracy and perilous secrets.

In this latest book, Koontz pumps up the volume and gives his readers what they've come to expect from him: an expert mix of cover ups, cults, bizarre suicides, and a shocking twist at the end that keeps Sole Survivor racing along from one improbable but undeniably thrilling event to the next.
