About this deal

This followup to Fear Nothing continues Chris Snow's story as he and his friends confront the horrors of a changing world. It wasn't quite as good as its predecessor for me, but I did really enjoy it, and of course the writing is beautiful. Osvrnula bih se i na dijaloge između likova. Djelovali su mi više kao da su napisani za film, nego za knjigu i kao da su pisani za tinejdžere, a ne za odrasle ljude. I sami likovi su mi zvučali kao 15-ogodišnjaci, a ne kao skoro 30-ogodišnjaci.

Reading the screenplay set me up in this continues loop of reading and then rewatching and then rereading and watching again. HELP. When he sets out to find the missing five-year-old son of a former sweetheart, Christopher Snow believes that the lost children are still alive. He is convinced the disappearances have everything to do with the catastrophic effects of secret research conducted deep within Fort Wyvern. To keep those secrets, extremely violent and powerful forces are willing to conceal even the most heinous crimes. a b Cusumano, Katherine (October 25, 2016).

We re-explore our main characters XP over and over again which is no fun if you have already read the first book. For some reason there are a lot of descriptions about nothing. The main character is a dreamer and constantly floats of in his own mind which meant the book just didn't flow at all. As a reader this book was infuriating at times, just as I thought the plot was getting somewhere Koontz would go off on a tangent and lose me again. Koontz again thrilled me with his ability to set a scene and create a true sense of dread. His gift is in putting his characters in situations where they (and you as the reader) feel helpless in the midst of unsettling and spooky circumstances. In this case, the circumstances all revolve around occult happenings in and around Fort Wyvern, the abandoned military base that the main character, Christopher Snow, frequents. The beginning stupidity is not the worst things about this novel. It's composed of almost endless padding. Koontz, never the most challenging of writers, here reaches the absolute bottom. Whenever there's a possible plot development or any hint of ambiguity, he explains every possible solution or action as if the reader was too stupid to do this on his/her own. There's absolutely no subtlety or suggestion, everything is spelled out, and to make matters worse what could be spelled out in one word is spelled in twenty. Koontz constantly holds the reader's hand, afraid that when there might be some confusion they might have to actually use their brains and will understand that what they're reading is a product of, uh, low quality.a b c Keegan, Rebecca (October 21, 2016).
