Book Overview

In the stillness of a golden September afternoon, deep in the wilderness of the Rockies, a solitary craftsman, Grady Adams, and his magnificent Irish wolfhound, Merlin, step from shadow into light . . . and into an encounter with mystery. That night, a pair of singular animals will watch Grady's isolated home, waiting to make their approach. A few miles away, Camillia Rivers, a local veterinarian, begins to unravel the threads of a puzzle that will bring to her door all the forces of a government in peril. At a nearby farm, long-estranged identical twins come together to begin a descent into darkness. . . . In Las Vegas, a specialist in chaos theory probes the boundaries of the unknowable. . . . On a Seattle golf course, two men make matter-of-fact arrangements for murder. . . . Along a highway by the sea, a vagrant scarred by the past begins a trek toward his destiny. In a novel that is at once wholly of our time and timeless, fearless and funny, Dean Koontz takes readers into the moment between one turn of the world and the next, across the border between knowing and mystery. It is a journey that will leave all who take it Breathless . This description may be from another edition of this product.

I generally love Dean Koontz, BUT

This book left me wanting. I am a huge fan of Dean Koontz, and typically never have complaints about his style or storytelling. Truthfully it surprises me this book is rated so well on this site. The book just felt like he got tired of it and tried to wrap it up the entire "mystery" in 5 or 6 pages thrown in at the end in a very underwhelming manner. The "I'm over it" vibe a la D. Koontz was palpable toward the entire end...

I loved this book

Breathless: A Novel was a really good book. It had me hooked from the first chapter all the way to the end. The characters were well developed and the story was really imaginative. The descriptions were amazing and the story was full of suspense. I really like the way the chapters ended making you want to continue reading instead of stopping at the end of the chapter. It was also a plus how the characters in the book...

Never a disappointment!

Dean Koontz never disappoints me! I will have to admit that it is difficult to limit my reading time or to change my schedule to permit more time. His books are interesting, unique and the climax when everything is explained finally lets you take a deep breath and smile. BREATHLESS is a terrific read, has done it again. Read it!

loved this book

another great book by Dean Koontz. I love the way he takes our reality and twists it. in this book he is able to show both the great acts of humanity that we are capable of and also the acts of cruelty that are possible. I love that his book both scares us with the existence and strength of the darker side of humanity, but does show that good people exist and fight to do the right thing. This book has excitement, humor,...

Always a good author to read....

Breathless by Dean Koontz is a stunningly beautiful story that stresses the divisions we find in our world between light and dark, beauty and ugliness, and redemption and damnation. While Koontz is not a stranger to using animals in his stories, Breathless stands everything else on its head. Grady Adams is a simple man; a carpenter/craftsman who manages to provide for himself and his Irish Wolf-hound, Merlin, while working...
