The juvinile writing takes over the whole mess. A huge let down of a disappointment after books 1 and 2, and it doesn\’t get any better with books 4 and 5. Then, there was a reference to something recent, and belw that theory out of the water. So, I thought I had my answer, they were written YEARS ago when he was newer to writing, and that\’s why they are no where near his current level. I remember my mom, when I was VERY young, wearing the white uniform in the seventies, but in the last twenty years for sure, all I\’ve ever seen are scrubs. My mom and two of my step sisters are nurses, and they wear scrubs. Then, I read a description of a nurse in a white skirted uniform, and I thought I had my answer. Then, I thought, maybe he wrote them years ago, that they are some of his first and in a drawer somewhere. I kept thinking – Koontz couldn\’t really have written these books. I thought, they couldn\’t be that bad, but went to my local used book store rather than pay full price, and man am I glad I did. The friend who had lent me the first two didn\’t have the last 3 books, because he said he thought they were stupid, especially book 3. I did have some eye rolls, especially at the goofy police partners and what felt like lazy, juvinile writing, but the good out weighed the bad. I found them interesting, new and fast paced. I gave book 1 and 2 of Dean Koontz\’ Frankenstein series 4 stars.
