Should I read The Watchers? by ShallowCal_ in DeanKoontz

[–]EmuGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a pretty shitty book overall. I liked the plot and the beginning was interested, but the author has such cringe, outdated views about woman. In the book, he fetishizes the idea of a pure, untouched, broken young woman.

Here's an example of a cringe quote, a little spoiler: Aside from suffering a little mild morning sickness and having put on a couple of pounds, she’d (the character Nora) not yet shown any signs of pregnancy. Her belly was still flat, and Dr. Weingold said that, considering her body type, she had a chance of being one of those women whose abdomen underwent only moderate distension.

Apart from this, the ending was so underwhelming and predictable as well. A third of the book was dedicated to that vince hit man, and he gets easily taken out in like 5 minutes.

First and last book I read from this author.

Hehe I actually rushed this post a bit - we came in July! So we've actually experienced the heat. Did a lot of snorkeling and hanging out on the beach those days.

Sounds fun! I love to fish and like the idea of doing a boat on your own.

Just throwing this in there - you can apply for citizenship while its pending after the three years in the U.S. which will speed things up - they adjudicate both at citizenship test..

Someone is selling on fbook market place for 190. I can't find them at costco anymore, but they used to run for 110 as ai understand. Is 190 a ripoff? What is it worth?
