Koko Audiobook

" Great novel!! Spooky!! "

" I squinted at it from several angles, but still couldn't see how this book won the WFA. A murderous Vietnam vet being tracked down by his war buddies in Singapore, New York and Milwaukee is not fantasy. Aside from the offense of scoring the WFA the book wasn't horrible, just overwritten by about 200 pages. "

" Koko by Peter Straub (2001) "

" Kind of scary. I didn't like it mainly because I don't like fiction involving Vietnam or WTC. "

" Starts out promising. Ends up going very down hill. About 150 pages to long. Seems to wonder all over the place. Could have used a really good editor. Straub is a very talented writer, but he just gets carried away in this book. "

" I thought the characters were great. I really got into this one. The mood and feel of this book really kept my attention right to the end. "

" Just couldn't get through this book "

" Straub wrote one of my favorite books . . . this isn't it. Spent about 5 hours trying to get into this one and it never happened. Fail. "

" It's been years since I read "Koko," but I remember that it was definitely a good read. "

" A decent read. Hoping that "Mystery" and "Throat" are better reads since those two books with "Koko" make up the "Blue Rose Trilogy" "

" I've read this book 3 or 4 times over the years--definitely one of his best. "

" It might have been an interesting story if it wasn't so insufferably long. Boring, boring, boring! "

" The first of Peter Straub's "Blue Rose" trilogy -- gritty and gory and complicated, as expected. "

" The main character is in a few of peter straubs books which gives a nice touch of familiarity however i dont rate these as being amongst his best work but still well written. "

" Was not my cup of tea. Sorry!!! "

" Excellent book! Straub is one of my favorites. "

" just saw a friend was reading this and recalled reading and digging it years ago. it gets a four based on memory.. i'll have to reread it sometime and see how it holds up. "

" difficult start but worth the time. "

" lot's of creepiness of the real life kind in this book "

" Couldn't get into... gave it 100 pages. "

" Justly titled, this book is indeed the ultimate mystery, and a starting point in the complex and tintillating web Straub weaves with is entire oeuvre. Hints and suggestions, layers of meaning; what he does so well in his other work comes together here. "

" I wasn't nuts about this..I liked the plot and thought the ending was well done. The storyline did keep me intrigued but I thought it took a bit longer than was strictly needed. "

" I much prefer his horror books... "

" Great writing style kept me into it, although the story line kind of drags at times. "

" Interesting so far although boring in the beginning. Liked the twists, thought the paperback back cover was extremely misleading. "

" not as good as it should have been the mystery is way too obvious "

" straub rocks without any supernatural element too :D "

" Book 3 of "The Blue Rose Trilogy" "

" I really enjoyed this classic mystery, which pairs a teenage boy and a mysterious older man dubbed "the world's greatest detective". I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the trilogy. Although this is the second book, it can clearly be read on its own. "

" Part 2 in Straub's Blue Rose trilogy. Decent thriller/crime novel. But the connections to Koko (first part of the Blue Rose trilogy) are few, mostly a number of names being recycled and the mention of the Divided Man novel and it's author. "
