A review by amarettto
The Eyes of Darkness by Dean Koontz
2.0
This book really was not very good, and feels like an author's debut novel. One of the things I hate the most is leaving a book unfinished but getting through this was torture. The story itself isn't too shabby but it's dragged on well past what it deserves, and the characters aren't particularly interesting.
I also started reading this book before I realized why it's been so popular in the media lately - as the book that 'predicted the novel coronavirus'. That's not the reason I read it, I did so because I've enjoyed other works by this author. Perhaps it's not the best idea to read the super early works of an author you have incredibly high standards for because it feels rather underdeveloped. Personally, I would not recommend.
