I’ve never read Koontz before and I snagged The Bad Weather Friend as a free book from Amazon Prime’s monthly first reads deal (or whatever they call it).
I know a lot people like him and a lot of people don’t. The book was alright but what I couldn’t stand was the constant insertion of himself in parentheses with weird statements like “this would be a good point of discussion for a book group” like WTF is that? Way to break the fourth wall so to speak and take me right out of the story.
So my question is, does he do that in all his books? Is it even worth picking up another Koontz if I despise part of the way this one was written?
Thanks for your input!
(Oh and I tagged this as spoiler just in case anyone speaks of the plot, I didn’t intent to spoil any of it myself.)
