From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz
5.0
WOOOOW! My new favorite Koontz book💜
I never give books 5 stars unless they make me want to reread the book as soon as I finish it. This was one of those books for me.
There are so many characters introduced throughout the book, but Koontz flawlessly kneads them into the story in a way that isn’t confusing and that quickly orients you to who they are. None of the characters are pointless, and they’re easy to fall in love with.
I won’t go too in depth here but the most beautiful metaphor in the book is the oak tree as a description of the way things are. I will forever be rereading that section of the book (and the whole book, let’s be real).
My only qualm is that the moment you’re waiting for through the whole book (which is 700+ pages) comes and goes very quickly — I’m talking 15-20 pages worth of the big moment. Wildly underwhelming, but for me it didn’t take away from the rest of the book.
It’s beautiful, it’s frustrating, it’s heart-racing, it’s happy, it’s wonderful. I absolutely adored it. Thank you Dean Koontz for your ever beautiful writing and your flawless story telling!
