Intensity by Dean Koontz

Intensity by Dean Koontz is by far the most exciting Koontz book I’ve ever read. I’ve been known to complain that some of his other novels seem to censor some of the more graphic parts of the story, but Intensity is raw and doesn’t cut any corners. I enjoyed the story and the characters were real and believable, however, again I found myself more interested in the antagonist rather than the protagonist.

I always seem to be drawn to characters with deeply disturbed inner monologs and Intensity was packed full of disturbing personal thoughts from a psychotic mind. If you don’t mind reading about corrupted and demented minds (think Law & Order SVU) then I would recommend this book. There’s a nice twist at the end although it’s not a “slap your forehead” kind of twist, but it is a nice punch to end the book with.

Rating 3.5 out of 5
