Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: Dead and Alive: A Novel Audiobook

" 3 of 5 stars for the Dean Koontz audiobook Frankenstein #3 (Dead and Alive). Note to Jim, starting a series of books with number three in the series is not a good idea. Well, I checked and they don't have #1 or #2 available in audio (for a rational price). So, #3 it is. The basic idea is that Dr. Victor Frankenstein is still alive today (you can guess how) and he is re-populating the planet with his creations. It was easy to "catch-up" with this book #3 and understand what is happening. A good solid story (typical for Koontz) with interesting characters. I do recommend this book, however, I prefer other of Koontz's works. "

" OK, now they're just trying to make money off the franchise. "

" I'm really loving Koontz's series. His villains are just as real as his heroes. Dead and Alive takes us to the end of Frankenstein's reign, but leaves the door open for the final book. "

" I guess I agree with just about everyone else. Books 1 an 2 were awesome. Book 3 came out of nowhere and was a total drop in quality. "

" A good ending to the series. A new imagining of the Frankenstein tale as if the doctor and the monster survived the polar ice. "

" This was a decline from the previous books, although it brought the series to a close decent enough. The writing was just really lacking and the ideas not as intriguing as the first two books. Not sure if I will continue on with this series or not. The plus is that they are really easy reads. "

" Although I can't seem to stop reading these books, I find myself wondering how twisted the author must be to think up some of the details. Not sure if I'll read the 4th book in the series. "

" Still entertaining. I will read book 4. This particular book had a few characters that I didn't find really important to the plot and confusing. They seemed like more of a distraction. "

" this book could have been much better. It almost lived up to the first two, and then fell apart. He introduces two potentially exciting foes, and then abandons them. I wonder what the point was of introducing them at all if he wasn't going to take them somewhere. "

" Well worth the wait. He recapped nicely and briefly. The story was wrapped up cleanly and effectively. "

" If you have noticed I'm going in reverse and saving the final book for last. This installment was really interesting with the Erica dynamic and creation of the ultimate human being. "

" I devoured this series. It has pure imagination and keeps you wanting more. I hear Dean Koontz will be writing a few more. Can't wait! "

" Very good end?? Excellent, quick, easy read. "

" i enjoyed this series so far i'm sure it will continue...there was a part in the 1st book that actually gave me nightmares...it happens in a restaurant and what is eaten. "

" While it was somewhat entertaining, I don't feel it lived up to the promise of the first book in the trilogy. I wish the main characters had better development. "

" This trilogy is some of his best work. Really enjoyed this one. I've been kind of disappointed in some of his stuff recently, but this is the exception. "

" The replacements turn on Victor and destroy him. "

" I love this whole trilogy but the final book just wasn't up to par with the others. I expected something much more. The final battle started out promising but instead fell flat. "

" eh. That's my review. eh. the fact that I waited 4 years for this book and I think it's an eh, huge letdown. Knowing that there are 3 more books to be released with this series and I will feel compelled to read them even though eh is the best I could come up with for this one 'bummer'. "

" A good trilogy! The third installment gave me the creeps just like the first two did. "

" The first and second book were pretty entertaining, but I didn't think that the end of this series really disappointed me. It was a little too happy considering the dark nature of the book. "

" I thought this book was fantastic couldn't down. "

" Koontz obviously crapped this out -- like most of his new books -- but that doesn't mean it wasn't a fun read. "

" Loved the addition of Duke, and the creations' rebellion. "

" Not as good of an ending as I would have wanted, but it was still a good ending. "

" This was an awful book! I used to really like Dean Koontz but I'm finding him hit and miss these days. I stopped reading this book after like 80 pages. "

" Although this series got off to a pretty good start, it ultimately suffered the same fate as most other Dean Koontz novels - terrible ending. The man just does not know how to finish a story. "

" Jocko! my new favorite Koontz character "

" Took a long time for book three to come out but was just as good as first two. "

" I am glad I am done with this series. The part that I was most interested in, the detectives' lives, was overshadowed by everything else. He had to have known that it was probably the most interesting part to me. I pretty much regret buying the books. "

" I enjoyed this book. It continued the story well. I am excited to see that there is a Book 4 and Book 5. "
