We had to wait 3 years for this book. 3 years longer than anticipated. I even re-read the first 2 books because I knew this book was finally on its way to me but I feel a bit how do you say it. fooled? disappointed?
First of all it is only 400 pages. You expect a big fat book cause the first 2 books were at least 550 pages and there were so many little stories in those which I expected to get closure in book 3 so that was the first surprise.

Let me preface this with saying I'm not a big Dean Koontz fan. Usually his characters are pretty shallow and the villains all seem to be carbon copies (<-dates the reviewer) of each other. The killer thinks he is smarter and better than everyone else and he is entitled to kill. It gets old quick.
Now, that said, I'm really enjoying this Frankenstein series. The protagonists are interesting. There are many points of view from a wide variety of characters and they are all well dev More...

Okay.
So, I'm a completist, but not this much of a completist.
Dean Koontz really needs a co-writer with sharp prose skills to cut back on his descriptions of rain, the universe, the one true redemption that might be out there, the true nature of evil, and on . . and on . . . and on. . .
The best parts of the books were the portrayals of Victor's utter megalomania.

Upon finishing this third book you would think this to be the last but there is one to go and I will begin reading it today. I can't say I completely liked the ending because it did leave unanswered questions. I could foresee what was happening at the Mansion while Victor is headed to the second operation. I did like the last chapter but it moved you sometime into the future. The books are all an interesting mix of the classic Frankenstein story mixed with a current mystery/crime/detective s

Koontz set this third book in his Frankenstein series New Orleans during a hurricane—before Hurricane Katrina hit—and it only this year has been released after sufficient grieving time has passed. Now, finally, he brings to conclusion (or is it?) the two century saga of Dr. Victor Frankenstein’s diabolical plan to remove humanity and replace it with his own army of minions, with the help of fellow like-minded despots along the way. I suppose this is the sort of junk fiction that I’m not suppos

I'm not sure how to explain the drastic change in quality from the previous two books to this one. Perhaps Koontz's partnership with co-writers Kevin Anderson and Ed Gorman were inspired collaborations and when faced with finishing the series alone with this third book, Koontz simply had no one to bounce ideas off of. Maybe he let Anderson and Gorman write the bulk of the first two and was not very familiar with the chararacters. Whatever unfortunate circumstances occ More...

I'm a bit disappointed with book 3 in the Frankenstein series. I loved the first and second books, but the third book fell short. This enstallment was more of the same, but with less characterization.
The plot was quickly paced as all of Koontz books are, but there were plot holes and loose ends and things that just don't quite make sense.
The setting is New Orleans, which is awesome, I LOVE New Orleans. But the book lacked the "feel" of New Orleans that I want More...

I'm writing one review for all four (so far) of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein books.
In the Koontz take on the Frankestein story, the old Mary Shelley novel was based on true events. And old Dr. Victor Frankenstein (now called Victor Helios) and his monster (who now goes by the name Deucalion) have survived to the present day. Deucalion is no longer a monster in thought and deed, but has learned a lot about the universe and his place in it, some of that knowledge coming from Tibetian mon More...

While the ending itself is slightly disappointing, at least it never flails around, like many authors tend to do when trying to tie together a story with so many characters and sub-plots.
There is always a clear direction throughout the book and though I disagree with some of the choices Koontz took in his conclusion, I can't fault his style.
As a third book of a trilogy, I found that it to be missing some sort of revelation or twist that made things take an unexpected turn. As More...

I've read all three of this trilogy (and yes there's a 4th now out though its supposed to be somewhat seperated from this set), and the only way to describe them is very funny and bizarrely weird. But then Koontz is pretty weird.
I read Fear Nothing and its sequel Seize The Night and those were cool weird. I liked the lead charachters, I liked the plot, you wanted to get involved as you read. I read Odd Thomas, just the one, and that was sad weird which is why I only read the one.

To be honest looking back on my thoughts on the previous two books I have had a bit of a turn around, The first book I rated 4 stars,the second only 2 and this one 3.
The narrative is fast and gripping with this one and to be honest I found it far more enjoyable than I was expecting,Prior reviews I read suggested this as a book to far and although it suspended belief much more than the 2nd one(which is where I struggled) I couldn't help but enjoy the rapid fire almost TV movie type feel of More...

If you've read the first two books I won't bore you with more story set up. I was so pumped to start this book because the first two were so well written and incredibly exciting. Maybe I was asking too much for Koontz to get all three books exactly right. Maybe I had an image in my head as to how the third book would go. I don't know what it was but I am for damn sure this book was not written in the same ilk as the first two.

Dean Koontz what happened?? Book one and two in the series were great, but then book three fell apart.
I felt like maybe Koontz only wrote it because he was under contract or for some other reason was compelled to finish the trilogy, but his heart wasn't quite in it.
The writing wasn't up to Koontz's usual standard and the story line was SO REPETITIVE! Not only did book three recap everthing that happened in books one and two, but it also recapped what happened in previou More...

After a long wait, I discovered that Dean Koontz had finally
delivered on his promise of a third book in the Frankenstein
series. However, I can only report that it was a poorly kept
promise. Though it does more closely match the first book (prodigal son)
in the series than the second book (City of Night)does, it
fails to deliver on the same level as the first. Through the

Well, it took over 2.5 years for Koontz to get back to finishing his Frankenstein series. These books are nothing like Mary Shelley's original late 1800's stories. The final book see's Dr. Frankenstein having relocated and set up shop in Louisiana, north of New Orleans. We still have Carson and Maddison hot on the trail of Dr. F's freakish exploits.

Worst ending to a series, or the start of an even worse continuation of the series?
After 12 or so Koontz books, I don't know why I still pick up a Koontz novel. My first was Intensity which was excellent. If I wasn't a fan of the original Frankenstein, I wouldn't have give Koontz another try, but I did, and probably thanks to co-writers, they did a great job on the first two books of this series.

Wow, what a horrendous ending to a series that started out good. To start, the book had about ten pages worth of Koontz's acclaims before you could get to the story. Its almost as if he was trying to prove something, and in doing so, lost sight of how to write a decent story. He also had no co-authors for this edition of the trilogy and maybe that's why it was so different as the coauthors must have been pulling all the weight before. There are two books that come before this, and they're both p

When i first started the Frankenstein series by Dean Koontz, i thought it would just be a thrilling adventure, but i was wrong. It was so much more than that.
This series has made me think hard about both the good and bad of humanity and why we are worth saving despite the evils we commit to each other and the world we live in. I've learned that a race without the capacity to hope and love is no race at all, but merely sad tragedies.
Out of all the characters, Deucalion and Jocko are my More...

I'm only about fifty pages into this one...and what a deviation this is from the first two books. After reading some of the other reviews, I guess I can't expect it to get any better. These books are the only work of Koontz I've ever read but I noticed that the first two books included co-authors. Is it too early for me to assume that the co-authors were responsible for the success of the earlier installments? If I were to form an opinion of Mr. Koontz based soley on the first fifty pages of thi

Quite a disappointment after the initial build-up of the first 2 books in the series. The final climax was too short and VERY convenient. The original "monster" became a side character in this one. Characterization became pretty thin and the book was very short compared to the first 2.

Not worth the wait by a long shot. Quite frankly I feel insulted by this book. The first two were thought-provoking with deep characters and a meaty, well-written story. For this, it comes off as if Koontz got tired of people bugging him for a book (that had been promised years ago) and just threw something together in a week. He couldn't even keep characters' names straight, nor did the editor bother to notice the blatant errors. All of these rich, multi-dimensional characters turned into flat,

A funny and stupid ending. Don't get me wrong. The book was excellent until the introduction of a confusing character, The "Resurrector". This Being was a "mess-up" that Victor Helios had created with telepathic powers. It comes into the story as a deus ex machina and saves the day! Wonderful... The ending I found to be rather sappy and anti-climactic... Where's the twist? The shocker... The surprise that makes you say, "Holy crap?" Are you telling me the biggest excitement is a troll slashing a
