Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 2.5 stars because it was somewhat disappointing after comparing it to the interesting and intriguing "Devoted" and "The Other Emily", both of which I read recently. Without giving away spoilers (in order to let you make up your own mind), let me just say my failure to connect with this book was mainly due to two issues: too many underdeveloped characters and a plot involving an all-knowing, all-powerful entity that never seemed to completely bake. When I picked up this book and read the blurb about the number of disparate characters coming together to fight an unknown menace, I immediately thought - "Watchers"! Sorry, but this doesn't come close to the engagement I had with that story. I was especially disappointed with the plot (and main antagonist) - neither made complete sense. Sorry, I really wanted this one to work. This story takes on several genres in it's telling, but Dean Koontz can always be counted on to produces a suspenseful, action filled story. He seems to be returning to some of his earlier writing styles with stories that have more of a supernatural feel, and like those early books this one was a more than average entertaining read. There are lots of twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages, but there is also a very large cast of characters to keep up with. Our heroine, "JoJo" Chase began to have memories of her childhood when she lived in Montana...then the mysterious phone calls started. The last straw was the mysterious dreams and other strange experiences that sent her returning to her childhood home. Tied into the plot is a cult-like leader and a serial killer bomber and behind everything is a puppet master controlling it all. It starts out slow but picks up rapidly making this suspenseful read one of Dea Koontz's best. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
As a girl, Joanna Chase thrived on Rustling Willows Ranch in Montana until tragedy upended her life. Now thirty-four and living in Santa Fe with only misty memories of the past, she begins to receive pleas, by phone, through her TV, in her dreams: I am in a dark place, Jojo. Please come and help me. Heeding the disturbing appeals, Joanna is compelled to return to Montana, and to a strange childhood companion she had long forgotten. She isn't the only one drawn to the Montana farmstead. People from all walks of life have converged at the remote ranch. They are haunted, on the run, obsessed, and seeking answers to the same omniscient danger Joanna came to confront. All the while, on the outskirts of Rustling Willows, a madman lurks with a vision to save the future. Mass murder is the only way to see his frightening manifesto come to pass. Through a bizarre twist of seemingly coincidental circumstances, a band of strangers now find themselves under Montana's big dark sky. Their lives entwined, they face an encroaching horror. Unless they can defeat this threat, it will spell the end for humanity. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
