The Bad Weather Friend by Dean Koontz
3.0

3.5⭐️. When I first started this book I was really unsure if I would finish it. I decided to give it some time and it ended up being a pretty good but strange read. I, sometimes, just randomly pick books to read for no rhyme or reason and this was one of those. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when it started and it seemed like some strange book about friendship and things we can’t explain or understand. Essentially the MMC is nice, too nice, and lets people screw him over so he has this supernatural being that he inherited from his uncle that looks out for his interests. There are people who have it out for him because he is too nice and they believe he will corrupt others to be like him and they ruin his life by getting him fired, his girlfriend ends things, etc. The creature helps MMC essentially get revenge on the people who have ruined his life in the most ridiculous ways of course and he has a woman who has been along for the adventure that seems to develop feelings for him. Throughout this there are flashbacks happening to his childhood that included a boarding school where humans were being turned into some human-insect alien hybrid thing. I have no idea why we were there except to add to the strangeness of the story and maybe highlight how weirdly optimistic and nice the MMC is…

Do I recommend this book? It depends who you are lol. It was a strange book to read but I wouldn’t say it was bad. It was only slightly boring in the beginning but if you can get past that you will probably find some level of entertainment in the rest of the pages. It was definitely funny and weird so if you like that read this.
