Icebound
f all Dean Koontz books I've read this one is the worst. No horror, no suspense, nothing. The main characters made me sick. I felt no sorry for them and if I could I would have killed them both. So perfect it made me sick. This is one of dean koontz main faults in almost all books... he makes too darn good characters. they are like angels. Well at least this book didn't had a dog.In the end all ends good but I wished them all killed. What we learn? Nothing. If this was the first book I've read from Koontz I wouldn't be reading another book of his so soon..
It is poorly written, lacks suspense or tension, the characters are one-dimensional and the 'serial killer' subplot is pitiful (so pitiful that the "serial killer" doesn't kill anyone!)
Some characteristcs of the characters,
-One is highly phobic, terrified of (you guessed it): ice & snow (because of an accident that killed her parents)!
-Another's family was murdered in China
-Another's had close relatives assasinated while in office and is disillusioned by politics (a thinly disguised JFK jr?)
-Another lost his son to cancer
-Another's psychotic
... oh well..
