Ticktock – Dean Koontz (Silly)
Teenagers would probably find “Ticktock” appealing. But don’t knock it. Some people may love the book. It just wasn’t for me! The start of the book was kind of serious then the plot just changed! And it became (utterly) silly. I wouldn’t put this in the horror section.Tommy Phan drives his piece of the American dream, a newly purchased Corvette, to a diner and opts for two cheeseburgers, fries, and a chocolate milkshake. After berating himself for not being a more traditional and obedient son, he returns home to find a strange a doll on his doorstep. Bringing this doll into his home, it quickly morphs into an evil monster. Tommy and Del (the blonde waitress turned savior) battle for their lives and hope to survive until dawn, when the danger is over.
The book was a disappointment. It almost seems as if the author has written this book just because he was getting bored and did not have anything better to do. The plot is so juvenile that it makes you want to say “What the…!” So save those bucks and your precious time!
