Your Heart Belongs To Me by Dean Koontz
2.0
The last three Koontz books I've read have all starred a hugely wealthy but really boring man. Even the houses are described the same way. They always have a big conservatory-type reading room full of palm trees. That's so specific. Stop repeating it. And plotwise, this one doesn't even really make sense if you look at it too closely. Why would Violet go after Ryan and not Doctor Hobb? Nonsensical.
The writing isn't good. Who saw the line 'the darkness darkled into something darker than mere dark' and didn't edit it out? It's also got the weirdest most saccharine ending I've ever read. Puppies and disabled kids? Come on. And the romantic lead is so underdeveloped. She really is only in the book to reflect how great Ryan is. Yuck.
Seriously, why am I still plowing through all these Koontz books? None of them are good. More fool me, I guess.
