Your Heart Belongs to Me

Loved it!

very boring, through and through. enough said.

Good book. Not my favorite from DK.

Initially I was interested in the characters, the surfing, the two of them eating out, and then the kind of supernatural hintings of the dreams, and the shape outside the window while Ryan was reading, the rapping on the windows. In the end none of it seemed to matter, the relationship fizzled, the "twins" link a dead end, the posed dead bodies, intriguing for a couple minutes., like...more

In the end none of it seemed to matter, the relationship fizzled, the "twins" link a dead end, the posed dead bodies, intriguing for a couple minutes., like oooh, this book could turn goooodd...I did like the Edgar Allan Poe tie in, at least a little, maybe it was just a pleasant break reading his poems in a Koontz book. I was excited for this book after the Odd series was so much fun, as well as other recent books, such as The Good Guy, Husband, Velocity, Intensity, etc, recent era Dean, but I'd have to put this at the bottom of the modern era list. Do we not all know Dean's love of dogs yet? It's comforting & tiring at the same time I guess, but I could've done without the dog washing scene in the end.   hide

I just finished reading Your Heart Belongs to Me this afternoon. I liked it OK. My initial reaction is that it's not one of my favorite Koontz books. The concept of subtext was a dominant theme in the story, as in the subtext of a novel's plot. And at the end it felt a little bit to me as if this were an experiment or a college thesis that attempts a discourse on subtext by building...more

t didn't really feel like Koontz when I read it. Too wordy, not enough plot, not enough of the "otherness" I usually get from his books. In theory, the book had an AWESOME theme. A man needs a heart transplant. Man gets heart transplant. Crazy woman who is the identical twin of the heart donor comes after him for "killing" her twin. Sounds pretty awesome. No worries,...more

A man needs a heart transplant. Man gets heart transplant. Crazy woman who is the identical twin of the heart donor comes after him for "killing" her twin. Sounds pretty awesome. No worries, that's all on the book jacket, no spoilers there. Here's the kicker. He doesn't get the heart until 2/3's of the way through the book. I think he's nuts, personally (The character, I mean). There's a TINY reference to the supernatural, and it's not very well thought out. I expect more of him. I feel like I just wasted 4 hours of my life that I will never get back.   hide

I have to agree with other reviews I heard. It took too long to get into; the plot wasn't engaging enough; the climax was a disappointment; I don't think the characters were well developed nor the relationships between anyone. This book just seemed to jump from time period to time period and person to person. For me this was definitely the bottom of the list. I am an avid Koontz fan...more

I am an avid Koontz fan and have enjoyed every book I have ever read of his. I have been reading his stories since I was 13 in the early 70's. There has never been a book I didn't like until now.   hide

I find none of Koontz's books like king's books those newer ones anything at all of the caliber of their older ones. This is a prime example. Though not a bad book per se. A very shallow plot, with shallow characters, confusing story line that really doesn't even make good plot. Desperate to read a book, bought it in an airport stuck on a long flight, read it.

Your Heart Belongs To Me Category: Books Genre: Mystery & Thrillers Author: Dean Koontz I found the pace of this book very slow. The story idea was wonderful but it dragged so. Would I recommend this book, hate to say it but not really http://www.trioweb.org/communications/BookReviewofYourHeartBelongstoMe.pdf
