by ASG Spelled out
Of course the reader wants it spelled out. I'm all for leaving certain things to interpretation but when you introduce a seemingly important piece of information that if enlightened about it's relevance will allow the reader to remain engrossed within the story and not outside of it wondering the hell the author is doing. It started off great but as the pages dwindled down I began to suspect the ending was going to be BS. It was worse than I could have imagined. I almost feel like Koontz was on vacation and his publishers wanted to release the book before he was ready so they got a remedial vagrant to type out the last few chapters.

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. :)

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.

This book isn't worth reading. The story lines never truly weave together. More than one character is violent with sadistic thoughts about women and one wonders if the author has run out of ideas on how to portray evil. The whole thing just ends up being a hot mess that leaves the reader dissatisfied, confused, and resentful of spending money on the book.

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.

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.
