Sole Survivor: A Novel Audiobook

" Dean Koontz is, as always, very readable. Although he avoids commiting himself to any particular religious denomination, his writing reflects a very decided believe in the Ultimate and the hereafter. In this story, the main character, Joe Carpenter, struggles to find meaning in life after losing his wife and two daughters in a devastating plane crash. Discovering there might be a "secret" survivor to this same crash, gives Joe hope. But who is this Rose? How did she survive? And was she the intended victim of whoever intended to sabatage the jetliner in the first place? Interesting mystery/thriller. "

" Fun read although the ending was a bit anti-climatic. "

" It was sooo good! i loved it. the end. "

" Okay, so the story was really compelling and I had to keep reading (or listening actually) because I had to find out how and why everything happened, but the story advanced oh so slowly. Just when I thought a major plot revelation was imminent, the author would start describing the vegetables on the shelves behind the characters or how deeply sad Joe was feeling and it would be several pages before the story would move forward again. But I probably would have given it four stars except that the resolution of the story was so complicated, implausible and downright ridiculous that I felt like I was reading the end of a whole different book. I'm glad I'm finished with it. Are all his books like this? "

" Huge twist in this book, as in all Koontz books, but this one was a especially creative. "

" I listened to this and really enjoyed it. It had me from the very beginning. "

" Good but not great. There was plenty of suspense, but the ending was a bit of a letdown. "

" Another great book by a great author. "

" My favorite Dean Koontz book to date!!!!!!!! "

" fun book, kept me turning the pages. not the deepest of his books but still very good "

" sad, moving, powerful, great read. "

" I flew through the beginning of this one, but found the ending to be a disappointment. I walked away from this really wanting a lot more and was even a little annoyed. "

" Dean over-writes. There are simply too many metaphors in his style. I guess I grew out of him. And this book? I only read it because it was given to me and I had nothing else to do. Bleh... "

" read the book. don't watch the movie. "

" Over the years I have rread or listened to most of Dean Koontz books. I like his earlier books better than the later books. So much for getting better with age. "

" Dean Koontz never disappoints his fans "

" The beginning was perfect...couldn't stop reading.. but didn't like the ending at all...I had too skip a few pages ..which I usually never do! It was like reading another story for the last 50 pages!! "

" I was really enjoying this book. Koontz as usual can develop wonderful characters that you really care about. It moved at a break neck speed for much of the book but I thought it petered out and was somewhat anti climactic in like the last 20 pages. "

" Koontz writes stories that are creepy, very menacing. "

" Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz (2000) "

" "Enjoyable bit of suspense about a husband/father one year after an unexplained plane crash. With barely a will to live, he begins to uncover the truth about the crash, and some additional secrets as well." "

" This book is amzing just another to his collection "

" I don't like Dean Koontz style of writing. Wanted to know the ending but didn't enjoy getting there. "

" Good Koontz read [on the plane coming back from NYC no less]. You get to like his characters. Easy read- "

" AMAZING book. Couldn't put it away. Made me cry a lot and left me speechless at the end. "

" read this years ago but really liked it at the time. "

" Couldn't put it down! A page turner from beginning to end! "

" Quite ok, but typical Koontzy-strangeness.. "

" I'm a big fan of Dean Koontz but this book really didn't cut it compared to his other works. I was terribly disappointed at the end, like I was robbed of a good ending! :( "

" Yet one more Koontz novel that deserves 3.5 stars. Koontz is great at creating sympathetic heroes, but the supernatural twist just didn't take off for me the way I hoped it would. Still there was some decent suspense and mysery in this book. "

" not finishing. being this far into it and it still hasn't fully grasped me i need to stop. i always feel bad leaving a book unfinished, but i wish it good luck to the next reader. i can't love em all (on page 81 of 432) "

" I don't like Dean Koontz style of writing. Wanted to know the ending but didn't enjoy getting there. "

" I listened to this and really enjoyed it. It had me from the very beginning. "

" it had a good premise but I think I wanted it to go a different way than the way it ended. "

" A spellbinding thriller, one of my favorite of Koontz's novels. I couldn't imagine where this story was going, and the conclusion was quite unexpected and surprising. Wonderful, likable characters, too! "

" I wasn't expecting the main idea of the book to be what it was. Good nontheless. "

" Not my favorite from Dean Koontz, but it was clean (his novels are usually very clean or very dirty). I felt as though there was a lot of build up and then it let down very fast, too fast. It was just okay for me, but it did hold me intrigued until the end. "

" This book was totally captivating but disturbing at the same time. Not really my kind of read. "

" Couldn't put it down! A page turner from beginning to end! "

" Started off interesting and sympathetic enough .... but unraveled some towards the end. But who doesn't love to read about a plane crash before they get on their plane home from vacation! "

" Tragedy, terror, and the meaning of life all in a neat little package. Interesting read. I bought it for my dad for Christmas becuase I knew it would come my way when he finished. :) "
