Good because the dialogue is always interesting and it's real. Sometimes Mr Koontz is downright silly, and frankly I enjoy silly when it doesn't become stupid and tedious. As I drove and listened, I laughed out loud. Good because this book is really funny in parts. Since both come from the south, I would expect both to have a distinct southern accent. The only exception would be Michael and Madison. I am always amazed when narrators are able to remain consistent as they give voice to characters. Good because Christopher Lane is an excellent narrator. In my view this can be good & not so good. It seems to me that the reason for this is to make way for another sequel. After over 8 hours of listening, the end was a huge disappointment because nothing in the story was resolved. Let me first address why I feel ripped off. They will need them, for a monumental battle is about to commence that will require all their ingenuity and courage, as it defines what we are to be.and if we are to be at all. Yet in the midst of their peril, love will blossom, and joy, and they will discover sources of strength and perseverance they have not imagined. As they gather at a small Montana town, old alliances will be renewed and tested, from within and without, for the dangers they face will eclipse any they have yet encountered. They are drawn together in different ways, by omens sinister and wondrous, to the same shattering conclusion: Two years after they saw him die, the man they knew as Victor Helios lives on. In their hands rests nothing less than the survival of humanity itself. It is up to five people to prove him wrong.

With a powerful, enigmatic backer and a secret location where the enemies of progress can’t find him, Victor is certain that this time nothing can stop him. Using stem cells, “organic” silicon circuitry, and nanotechnology, he will engender a race of superhumans - the perfect melding of flesh and machine. Victor Leben, once Frankenstein, has seen the future - and he’s ready to populate it.

It is a story of revenge, redemption, and the thin line that separates human from inhuman. In Frankenstein: Lost Souls, Dean Koontz puts a singular twist on this classic tale of ambition and science gone wrong, to forge a new legend uniquely suited to our times.
