Briana's review of Hideaway
Hideaway by Dean Koontz
Dean Koontz doing what he always does best. That's the impression that I was left with after reading this book. I enjoy the style and his ability to step out beyond the lines of what you might expect. Some of his stuff comes off as almost absurd, like an element of science fiction or fantasy dropping into what seemed to be a avereage modern society setting.
Hideaway is no exception to this.
However, I find that sometimes find that Koontz isn't quite at his best. I said this is what he does best, but sometimes, it's not smooth from start to finish.

It's left with a sum-up of the aftermath and what they grew to be later on - but there was a hollow cynicism in that end that doesn't seem characteristic or likely in his ending. It wasn't bittersweet. It wasn't happy... I...more
