One of my top books of all time - loved the way Koontz combined horror elements with a love for dogs. Just a wonderful and captivating read.

I really enjoyed this book. I'd rather give it a 3.5 stars since I preferred the author/narrator when she spoke in the French accent. She seemed to rush the English portions a bit. I think she was nervous. There is a lot of food for thought in this tiny tome. I felt like I was getting an opportunity to look into a Frenchman's mind which is very insightful since I live with one. It explains a lot: the nonchalance, the aloofness, the unfriendliness ... I could go on but then you'll wonder why I love the French so much. The best part of reading this book was the really interesting discussion about American/Anglo-Saxon values and perceptions compared to French I had with Angelo until he sliced open his hand with the bread knife. (And yes he was eating a baguette with smelly cheese.) It was so fascinating. He even went on about how he loves how everyone is so polite in America and friendly and helpful. Plus I heard the best joke/anecdote "Two Men & a Woman." It's very apropos (& a bit stereotypical) about culture. Email me if you want to read it.

I liked this book a little better than the first. Nina's temper was a little out of control and annoying at times, but she seemed to calm down just the slightest bit by the end of the book. I look forward to reading Wanda's story.
