Faithful Fan
I also have read every single one of Koontz's books. I have loved them all, some more than others of course, but this one indeed was different. I think it is my favorite. Please don't let these other reviews sway you from reading this one!!! Then come back here and let me know if you agree with me...

Not what i expected
I read this book for a school Isp novel and am supposed to write an outline. Looking over the book, I have found many things left unanswered and I want to know more. The book overall was great; I read it in three days. Now I am supposed to compare it to Tim LeHayes book. Reading the summary they sounded like they were going the same way but now they are only slightly similar.

Breathless
I really liked this book, it kept me turning the pages as Koontz always does, contrary to the other reviews, it challenges the reader to finish the story for themselves. It seems people these days like everything spelled out for them.

Not his best
I usually love all of the books that Dean Koontz writes. However, I was disappointed in this book. It started out and continued to be a good read until the end. It was very anti-climatic and just plain abrupt. It was like he just came up clueless as how to wrap it all up so he just made up a quick ending to be done with it. Too bad. It could have been a great book.

Our Future as Furry beings?
As a long time fan of Dean Koontz, I agree that the ending of this book left me wanting.
It was rushed and, unless a short twilight Zone type story, an editor shouldn't let you get away with this. Trust me I know.

:/ not his best
Long time fan of Koontz. Ive read over 50 of his books and have never found one I haven't enjoyed, however, Breathless would easily be my choice for least favorite Koontz book. The ending was not satisfying, it didn't seem to have a closing to it. About five or six stories that are all connected, but somehow its just too much, like not enough is given to each story. If you are a Koontz fan like me, it is worth the read if your all out of Koontz books, but if you have others that you can read, go for those first.

James Patterson
On the brief synopsis I felt the plot to be reminiscent of the story line to one of James Patterson. I wonder!!! Would be interesting to compare these two.

Let Down
My plan is to read all of Dean Koontz's books. He usually answers all of the questions that have had you wondering throughout his books. Not Breathless! I stayed up really late one night to finish the book, and then I had to re-read certain parts because I thought I must have missed something. I feel let down with this one.
