Velocity by Dean Koontz Book Review
While I'm not a fan of Koontz's "silly" novels, such as The Face and Odd Thomas, I think he is exceptionally good at writing
psychological thrillers. The first book I ever read by him was Chase (one of his first books) and I thought it was excellent. Simple yet gripping.
Velocity is the same.
Billy Wiles, a bartender and wood carver with a comatosed wife, one afternoon finds a note under the windshield wiper of his SUV that
asks him to make a life or death decision (other people's lives, not his). At first he thinks it must be a joke until someone does actually die. As Billy
starts receiving more notes he finds not only are the decisions are harder but he must make them on his own. The person behind the notes fixes it so that
he can't confide in anyone, particularly the police.
This is without a doubt one of Koontz's greatest books and shows just how to get the reader to empathise with the protagonist.
