Book Description:
At thirty-four, Internet entrepreneur Ryan Perry seemed to have the world in his pocket—until the first troubling symptoms appeared out of nowhere. Within days, he’s diagnosed with incurable cardiomyopathy and finds himself on the waiting list for a heart transplant; it’s his only hope, and it’s dwindling fast. Ryan is about to lose it all…his health, his girlfriend Samantha, and his life. One year later, Ryan has never felt better. Business is good and he hopes to renew his relationship with Samantha. Then the unmarked gifts begin to appear—a box of Valentine candy hearts, a heart pendant. Most disturbing of all, a graphic heart surgery video and the chilling message: Your heart belongs to me. In a heartbeat, the medical miracle that gave Ryan a second chance at life is about to become a curse worse than death. For Ryan is being stalked by a mysterious woman who feels entitled to everything he has. She’s the spitting image of the twenty-six-year-old donor of the heart beating steadily in Ryan’s own chest. And she’s come to take it back.

Loving all books, Dean Koontz, I'm not sure that I can say the same for this one. Normally, all of his books immediately draw me into the story. This one failed to do that until Chapter 51. Still, I would recommend it to anyone who can hold out until approximately the aforementioned chapter.

I have been reading Koontz's books for more than 15 years. He is my favorite author and I whenever I read one of his books I have to read it nonstop no matter how late I need to stay up to finish. I save every book of his that I buy, but I will be giving this one away. It was the only one of his books where I sat there at the end and went Huh? The description of the book does not really describe what the book is about. Koontz should stick to what he is good at. This was not a novel of suspense but rather an analysis of one man's pysche and motivations. It took more than 180 pages for anything even remotely unusual to happen!!! What a bore.

I agree that this book started out great, but kind of lost steam.
I love, adore, can't live without Koontz' books, but this one just wasn't what I expect from him.
Granted, it is still a good book, and worth reading, but not up to the intensity that you normally get from Koontz.

Not as good as many of Koontz's books. I am not sorry I read it but I thought it could have been better.

I AM A HUGE DEAN KOONTZ FAN, AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY BOOK HE HAS EVER DONE, EXCEPT THIS ONE! THE STORY WAS SOOOOO FAR FROM WHAT KOONTZ USUALLY WRITES, MORE OF A "MORAL OF THE STORY TYPE BOOK" INSTEAD OF PARANORMAL, SUSPENSE BOOK. I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED.

It's been a while since I've read a Dean Koontz novel most of his work(s) are great, however this novel was very slow and hard to get into, not the Dean Koontz that I've enjoyed. This book took forever to really get to anything interesting. If you really like to wait until the book is almost over for any action to occur this is your book, but it really left me a feeling of "Huh???" This book did Not win me over at all. I don't recommend this one. Sorry out there to all the Dean Koontz fans

This is not one of my favs from Dean Koontz,I have read all of his books and this one is a bit wordie and kinda drags on.The ending kinda left me feeling down. I did not feel this book was about sef-discovery To me it seemed as if Dean started writing one book and changed his mind in the middle. But if you like Dean Koontz you may want to read this to make up your own mind

I am a huge fan of Dean Koontz, my first of his was Life Expectancy after that I was just hooked. Now I am trying to read all of his older books and look forward to the new ones. But this book is just not that good. I have to admit I was disappointed, it just didn't grab me the way his books usually do. The story seemed to move so slow. Or maybe it was the ending that left me totally unsatisfied.

This is the newest Dec 2008 book by Dean Koontz.....GREAT BOOK! I read it in a few hours as it was hard to put it down because the suspense just kept building! I give it 5 stars!!! Dean Koontz fans won't be disappointed!!!

I have gone quite a few years since reading any Dean Koontz, but he was one of my favorite authors (and is again). This was my "re-entry" into Koontzland & I must say, it was a good ride. The description above is exactly how the book goes (I'm not sure what a previous reviewer was talking about when they said it wasn't). This book has definitely gotten me back into reading more of Koontz's books. I read it at lunch while at work & I hated my lunch being up each day as I wanted to continue reading it.
The one thing I didn't like was every time it got your heart pumping it seemed to calm back down for more character development. While it does take a while for the "suspense" part to kick in, the beginning is still very well written & you really feel like you know the main character after so much insight.
I would recommend this book to anyone into this type of writing, as it was a 4 out of 5 star in my opinion.

This book was hard to get in to. It was ok once I finally got in to it a little more. Not the typical Koontz book.
Walter J. (As an avid Koontz fan, having read almost every book he has written, I must say I was just a bit disappointed with this one. Even so, it was an enjoyable read (since Koontz, at his worst, is still far better than most).
Good read, but not one of Mr. Koontz' best. I collect all of his books and wish I had been able to get this one as a paperback rather than a hard copy.
Good book, but not great. It was slow leading up until the end. If you have some free on a Sunday for a slow moving book, then this book would be okay to read. It was okay.
Really good book. I was surprised to find out what was really going on!
This is one of the best Dean Koontz books I've read to date. A must read for anyone who likes Koontz's work.
This wasn't the usual Dean Koontz, but I loved it. I found it a fast read and truly enjoyed it. You just have to think of it as a different style for Koontz.
This book is not what you would expect from Dean Koontz - its a good twisted story but instead of being the usual horror it turns into a book with Meaning!It's about morality and finding your way.....I couldnt stop turning the pages!
