I love Dean Koontz' Odd Thomas Series, so I went out and bought a truck load of Koontz books, and Hideaway was one of them; it's disturbing in so many ways, but I couldn't put it down, so I guess that makes me "disturbed."

I was expecting something cool to happen but it never did. The book has an amazing very first few pages, then starts talking about one topic for like a million pages & it gets old. "Funhouse" by Dean Koontz is actually a better book if that says anything.

I couldn't get into this book. The characters seemed whiny and not 'deep enough'. The plot went back and forth from one character's perspective and then another character's perspective a lot... it's confusing. It seemed like a great deal of information was chopped out of the book, the reader is slapped in the middle of places and ideas and has no idea what the heck is going on, and frankly, the 'scariness' of this novel leaves so much to be desired that I didn't even care. I got to page 19 or 20 and couldn't take it anymore. This is not scary, it's boring, skips back and forth so much I lost track and finally in the end, didn't even care. I've tried numerous Koontz books and this is the last straw. If this is modern scary book writing, I don't give a darn. Koontz, I think, after reading a few of his books, has this particular problem: He uses too many words that don't even work well together and in the end this results in a whole lot of saying of absolutely nothing. He talks a lot but it's all empty. It's hard to explain how someone can use a lot of words, say a lot, and in the end not really say anything of value at all, but Koontz excels at this. I must have tried 3 other of his novels, and they all are as boring as this one. And if this is one of his best, I can safely say I have no desire to try again.

This Koontz thriller progressed slower than some of his other page-turners. It built a solid foundation on its 4 main characters, one of which represents the most evil of natures. The two protagonists, a husband and wife develop and endear themselves to the reader as they seek to understand and then vanquish the evil presence that has attached itself to their lives following the husband's deadly experience. The climax of this book makes it a suspenseful, worthwhile read.

I've had HIDEAWAY sitting around the house for years. It's been on my stack of "eventual reads" and decided to get it out of the way (as in reading so it could be put). I haven't read anything by Mr. Koontz in ages...and ages. I got exactly half way through and realized that, although I had no difficulty turning pages, his style of writing was completely lacking in soul. Has his writing always been stilted? And he is WAY TOO wordy! Now don't get me wrong, Mr. K must be doing something right. His efforts have afforded him what is, undoubtedly, an ultra comfortable living and lifestyle. At one time, early in my reading career, I rather enjoyed him. But I can't recommend this one.
