Novels to Read – Watchmen by Dean Koontz

Website design By BotEap.comFor me, fiction novels are purely entertainment, I do not read fiction from a literary perspective seeking mastery of words. (That is why I can never become a true critic.) My otherwise logical brain is off and I tuned in to a different station. A station with only one voice, I like to think of it as the voice of the author, although I know that it is my perception of that voice that I hear in my mind.

Modest and dignified, she takes us on a journey that changes forever, ruthless and relentless, digging into the darkest and deepest corners of our minds, challenging our wits. It finds its way into our heart and soul, it fills us with so much terror and fear that it pierces our bones. Childish nightmares of sinister demons and ferocious beasts come to life before our eyes. But the voice also brings hope, hope for the future, hope for humanity, although (sometimes unknowingly) we try so hard to destroy the things we love and cherish, there will always be someone willing to challenge the demons that are hidden in it. darkness.

Website design By BotEap.comThis novel has definitely made it to my list of favorite Dean Koontz novels. Although it was first published in Britain in 1988, I have never read it before. You may think this is old news and why bother reading a twenty-two-year-old novel.

Website design By BotEap.comTwenty-two years is a long time, and I suppose some of the places described by Koontz have changed, the Sierra de Santa Ana, Solvang in the Santa Ynez Valley, but it is not about the surroundings, the streets or the houses where they live, it is it’s about people, the characters it created. Although they are fictitious, they are still very credible. DNA research remains a highly debatable topic and the essence of the story (which I believe is the essence) never goes out of style.
