From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz
5.0
I picked this up because Dean Koontz is one of my favourite authors. He can be hit-or-miss, but when he's on, he's REALLY on and I eagerly devour his books.
This one started out a little slow and meandering for me. I wasn't quite sure about it for the first hundred pages or so, but then I found myself eagerly picking it up every chance I had. The thing about Koontz's style is that it is meandering. He lets his characters wander, and he delves into their psyches until it's almost uncomfortable to go that deep. But then just when you think it's too much, he throws in something completely unexpected and jolts you out of your reader complacency.
Koontz also writes extremely well-developed characters, and villains you love to hate. I found myself moved to tears a few times while I was reading, and I was outright sobbing during the last few pages. Overall, this is another Koontz winner for me, and I'm eager to read more from him!
