 I'm so confused. I have been a Dean Koontz fan for years, ever since I first found Strangers in my high-school library. There had NEVER been a book that I didn't like, until the release of VELOCITY. I actually, almost, nearly, dare I say it?--hated that book. Then along comes THE HUSBAND, and I wanted so badly to love it like I loved previous books like WATCHERS, ODD THOMAS, and PRODIGAL SON. Alas, it was not to be.

The premise of thrusting an ordinary man (a gardener/landscaper) into unbelievably horrific circumstances was a good one. Unfortunately, I couldn't "like" the characters. Said gardener was bland and boring; his wife (who has been kidnapped) seemed to be little more than an afterthought. The "extra" characters in the book didn't seem to flesh anything out at all. To be honest, I didn't finish the story, although I did flip to the last chapter to see how it ended.

Overall, it was okay, but I long for the days of more supernatural magic that Mr. Koontz's early books brought.

 Dean Koontz does it again. In another sinister tale the author leads the reader into a vortex of why and how. Would read it again.

 This was the first book that I read by Dean Koontz..I had been seeing a lot of his books in the library and grocery stores but never really picked up one of his books to read...until this one. I'm VERY glad I decided to give him a try...AN EXCELLENT READ INDEED!

 This was my first Koontz book. I enjoyed it, but had a hard time getting into it at first. It was a quick read, it didn't take me nearly as long to read it as most books do. Not sure if that's a good thing. I liked this one enough to try another of his titles.
