A review by lynecia
Your Heart Belongs to Me by Dean Koontz

2.0

I thought I hated Koontz' writing with a passion. Having never read anything by him ever, I was taken aback by the (pseudo) literariness of the prose and thought, "how dare he?" after all, isn't he one of those pop-fiction, wanna-be thriller writers? You know, those books with far-fetched plots yet predictable storylines. Anywho, I thought Koontz doesn't know what he wants: he wanted to be this poetic wordsmith and then at times masterful thriller writer - aside from his pretentious writing style pissing me off, I think the book was all over the place. However, once the book got going I found myself wanting to know how it was going to end, so I relented. I don't hate his writing with a passion. The story line did keep me on the edge of my seat but after I yanked myself from the throes of the story I realized that it wasn't very good. I see why his books sell so much, but I'll keep my snobby judgements of his fans to myself.
