Ticktock

Rating:
Summary: Tommy Phan's got some problems...
Review: First, there's his mother, who thinks that his job as a detective writer isn't traditional enough for his Vietnamese heritage. Then, there's the doll he finds outside his door. It's ragged, and rather ugly...but he takes it in.

That's the biggest mistake he'll ever make. And maybe his last.

The doll is hiding something. Something that is alive. Something that wants Tommy dead. Something that has the capabilities of slaughtering him. Something that is growing...

Dean Koontz is the master of suspense, no doubt about it. In "TickTock," he tackles another genre: horror comedy. Yep, this book's downright hilarious in parts...and yet completely horrifying elsewhere. All throughout, suspense reigns supreme. "TickTock" is a nonstop action/horror/suspense/comedic novel about a man's strugle to stay alive and save face. Engrossing.
