it was cute and i like his writing style for an enjoyable quick read but towards the end this book just doesn't sit well. thier was more than one subject that i sensed a thinly veiled agenda. the characters were of course mostly outrageous but i think that was kind of the point and it kept me turning pages and wondering what would happen next. i noticed a little bit of grasping towards the end attempting to reign the story in and a little preachiness aimed at yours truly the unwitting reader. anyhoo, i was entertained for the time being and i have started telepathically connecting with my dog, Francie. so read with caution

This book was okay. I'm sure there are some people who will really like it. I, however was not among them. I found the book's weak points to be several:
The story telling is intentionally fragmented, to the point of being annoying. I feel that the book takes far to long to set up the situation, and by the time the end of the rising action, I was mostly disinterested
The author's own agenda regarding bioethics was glaringly obvious and annoying. Make sure to research the subject after reading the book
Koontz seems to have a one-dimensional lexicon in this books. Across many characters, a few odd words such as behemoth were overused. This was, to me, quite distracting.
On the other hand, this book is fairly engaging and a pretty quick read.

Koontz, again (through a sometimes verbose and windy pathway) intersects the same characters and again verbosely heralds truth is greater than fiction. But, not unlike a ship floundering, we are captivated by the familiar and yet shocking.....If only to gleen from "The Book of Counted Sorrows" it is like opium for the genre'.

I hated this book. It was long and boring
A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary," the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
