Back to reviews and details of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book Two: City of Night


Amazon.com reviews:

Rating: 3 Summary: Just didn't grab me
Comment Maybe it's my distracted state of mind but I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as Frankenstein Prodigal Son . I didn't find it very interesting and found my mind drifting away throughout most of it. I think the thing I liked best about the first book in the series was learning more about the monster but in this book he's more of a secondary character in a cast full of secondary characters. Actually, when I think about it, the action seemed to be more of the main focus of the book than any of the characters and thus was the source of many of my issues with the book. I'm not a big all action/all the time type of reader and like a little more character development than I got here.

Rating: 4 Summary: Good series but don't see it ending
Comment The basis premise of these novels is fresh and current. I liked this series very much but according to Koontz he had a hard time collaborating on a series. I can't see this series concluding. I'm actually rather ticked off at Mr. Koontz for not finishing this series. He's had time to write Odd Thomas and the others.

Rating: 4 Summary: Koontz is my favorite
Comment Beware- this book is the second in a 3 part series. Books 1 and 2 are cliffhangers. I cannot find book 3 ANYWHERE!

Rating: 4 Summary: Not as frustrated as some
Comment I just recently read the first book in this series that I found in a used book store and quickly ordered this one, the second. I have enjoyed the modern interpretation on the Frankenstein myth but not being very familiar with Koontz, I am surpeised by the odd mixture of the pseudo-scientific and the supernatural. I am not yet as frustrated as some of the other readers who were promised the third and final book about 2 years ago. i am still looking forward to it but will lose interest if I have to wait a few years.

Rating: 5 Summary: I can't wait for the final book!
Comment All we have to say is WOW!

Once again, as with Odd Thomas, Koontz has kept the characters 'alive' and make this series more readable than ever! The superb repartee between the characters is amazing and utterly believable.

Great stuff once again and eagerly awaiting the December release of the next book!
