5.0 out of 5 stars A PAGE-TURNER..., 19 Jun 2008
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Once I started this book, the plot grabbed me right from the beginning and would not let go. Even though it is a plot driven book, the main character is well developed, even though others, perhaps, are not. It makes no difference, however, as it is the intricate, tightly constructed plot that will grab the reader. This is quintessential Koontz at his best, producing a riveting page-turner, once again.

Billy Wiles is a formerly promising writer turned barkeep. He has experienced a goodly amount of tragedy in his life. Orphaned at fourteen, he is haunted by the unusual circumstances surrounding the death of his parents. He is also devoted to his fiancee, Barbara, who lies in a comatose state in a nursing home, the victim of the fickle finger of fate. She has been given little hope of recovery. While Billy appears to be an easygoing, hardworking regular Joe, he goes through life with despair etched in the very way that he lives.

One night, however, a pivotal event occurs that will forever change Billy's life. A note is left under the windshield wipers of his car. The note gives him a most unusual ultimatum. It tells him that if he does not take the note to the police, securing their involvement, "a lovely blonde schoolteacher from the Napa Valley" will be murdered. The note also conversely tells Billy that if he does take the note to the police, "an elderly woman active in charity work" will, instead, be murdered. These are the two choices for which Billy has been given six hours to decide.

What Billy chooses to do and what follows are the stuff of which nightmares are made. Suddenly, Billy's formerly quiet, prosaic life takes on a new dimension, one in which reality is suspended, as the first note is followed by a series of them. Each note ups the ante, leaving Billy with having to make choices no human being should have to make. The ingenious plot takes the reader on a thrill ride of terror and suspense.

This was a book that I could not put down, so intriguing, original, and mesmerizing was the plot. Fans of the author, as well as those of Stephen King, should find much to like about this brilliantly plotted, fast-paced book, which puts a new spin on the age old struggle between good and evil. Written by a master storyteller at the top of his game, the book should keep the enthralled reader turning the pages, until the very last one has been turned. This is, without a doubt, one of the author's best books.

1.0 out of 5 stars SPANISH - NOT ENGLISH, 20 Feb 2009
By F. G. Hamer "MadManxMan" (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is in SPANISH. Do NOT purchase this book if you do not speak Spanish.

I made the mistake and it cost me the postage both ways, so BUYER BEWARE!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware Velocidad is the Spanish translation of Velocity , 8 Oct 2008
By A. Dukelow "mumpsy" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is brilliant but I ordered Velocidad thinking it was a book that I just had missed hearing about, I often find that with Dean Koontz books just seem to appear. But when I received it it was the spanish translation of Velocity( at least I think it is Spanish!) An easy mistake to make because it was just recommended to me and nowhere did it say about it not being in English. A genuine mistake I have no doubt but didnt make it any less disappointing or any less of a bother to have to sort it out. First problem I have ever had with Amazon and have ordered many times but just to save anyone else from the same plight!
