** The Husband - Dean Koontz **
Welcome to my first published book review. Since it's my first one ever, I'm going to keep it short and sweet. There are just 4 categories; how I found the book, what I liked, what I didn't like and overall. I'll try not to ruin anything for you shall you choose to read it yourself!
As always, feel free to comment and ask questions after you read the post. If you have any input on what you think should be added to my book review breakdown, please let me know.
How I found the book:
This happens to be a book that my boyfriend had. He had started reading it and then challenged me to read it so we had a book to talk about; please note that he is a movie person. So after some time I started reading the paperback book; I switched to digital reading through my library's resources about halfway through.
What I liked:
Right from the first chapter I was sucked into this book. The story line was thought out extremely well written; you can't help but feel for the main character and his wife. With multiple twists and turns to keep you second guessing. About halfway through the book, my mouth fell open in shock as you find out why the wife was taken. Seeing as it tells you on the cover of the book that the wife was taken, I don't feel like I spoiled anything. The ending also had me rearing my head back in surprise with its quick, last-second twist.
What I did not like:
Due to my attention span being seriously depleted, at times I had trouble reading this book. The first half of the book felt slow. At times I felt like the descriptions kept going when all I wanted was to get to the dialogue. Now, let me stop there for as this is a double-edged sword. Although I wanted to skip past it at times, I'm glad I did not. What I learned is that Dean Koontz has a brilliant way of describing even the most basic of things, such as the color blue. He can take something simple and transform it in front of your very eyes.
Overall:
I loved this book. It had me rooting for the main character with each turn of the page.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my first book review. Again, feel free to ask questions or post feedback.
Until next time, cheers to reading.
