Collect The Flesh In The Furnace Narrated By Dean R. Koontz Shown As Softcover

better than I was expecting, . . weird and original story,I enjoyed it,grade F

might have abandoned it I didn't hate this, While I do think it could have hador so cut, it held my interest, and the characters didn't make me want to see them all dead sooner rather than later.
And that's pretty unusual for me and Koont's work so far, Certainly the best thing by him that I've read thus far, "Der LebensAutomat" ist ein älterer SciFi Roman von Dean Koontz, Ich muss ganz ehrlich gestehen, dass dieses Buch schon ein wenig krank ist, :D Also ich finde die Vorstellung von lebenden Puppen zumindest sehr gruselig, Und dann kommen auch noch Spinnen im Buch vor, Ich musste mich echt überwinden, das Buch zu beenden, obwohl es nur so wenige Seiten hat, Das Thema ist so gar nicht mein Fall, Als Dean Koontz Fan wollte ich das Buch aber trotzdem lesen,

Der gute Schreibstil des Autors hat es tatsächlich im Endeffekt geschafft, dass ich das Buch sogar teilweise recht interessant finde.
Die Vorstellung, das Puppen die Welt übernehmen könnten, ist zwar gruselig und abstrus, irgendwie aber auch schon wieder fast genial.
So etwas muss einem erst einmal einfallen, Von mir gibt es daherSterne, Early Koontz story of a race of living puppets doing the bidding of the Puppet Master, Early work and it shows, Too scifi for Koontz. A good idea, spoiled when the author remembered he was Dean Koontz, A very early book by Koontz, The central idea, of living puppets who overthrow their puppet master is quite interesting and the story was basically good.
Koontz certainly developed into a better storyteller later, however, Another wild Koontz book from his early days, This one had so many fascinating concepts and characters, Again, Im always more creeped out with smaller “monsters” or creatures than I am the larger ones and this one has plenty of those to go around! boring This is one of nine novels by Koontz that was first published in.
He was extremely prolific in his early years! It's a farfuture story, set on a mostly depopulated Earth, and tells the story of a puppetmaster, his deficient assistant, and the puppets who rebel.
It's much more of a horror novel than science fiction and is an early examination of the Frankenstein myth and related religious themes that he would so often return to in later books.
It's a short novel, but quite well written for its time compared to other contemporary genre fare, The back cover says: "Dean R, Koontz, one of the fastestrising in the sciencefiction firmament, has written a novel of haunting horror and icy eroticism.
" There you have it. A very early Koontz book, set in the future where a man creates living puppets for puppet shows, And they get loose. This seems to be a bridge between Koontz's SciFi early stuff and his signature horror of more recent vintage.
I didn't really care much for this one though, there was no one to like or root for, Every character in the book was either evil, selfserving, or undeveloped, I guess I'm like Bonnie Tyler I need a hero, Ok then. I don't know what I read, At the end it seemed to parallel the death of Christ, I was not pleased and for the majority of the book nothing made sense to me, The only thing that was clear was Sebastian had a mental disability that no one probably understood and it was to their detriment.
Also, Bettina was a stone cold bitch, Not a bad read but also not a brilliant read
Was it scifi or was it horror,
Could have been a great horror story with the puppets One of my favorites by DK, Made me distinctly uncomfortable a number of times, which naturally means I loved it, Notsure about this book, I didnt think it was one of Koontzs best, even among his early works that I have been reading recently.
If I was to categorize it I would have to say it was a scifi /horror, The basic plot is that sometime in the future there is a very sparsely populated planet earth with the majority of the population having left once the environmental problems with the planet got too bad.
On the planet is a puppet master who uses alien tech to create puppets for use in performances, These puppets are in essence living entities created using some kind of clone technology, At the end of the performances they are returned to their constituent parts and new ones created, By the end of the book these puppets have developed their selfawareness to the point whereby they begin to turn on their creator.

There are a lot of pseudo religious passages about the mangod conundrum and the perils that lie in wait for man who takes on the god like qualities of creation.
There were some definite parallels between the puppets becoming selfaware and the fears of AI in current society and

what happens if the creation becomes more powerful than the creator.

This was an OK book which heled to pass the time on the train, but it was nothing special.
It's only a short story, but it flows well, without the Eclesian chatter and is a pretty good spooky tale.
½. More of a horror story than science fiction, perhaps a transitional work between Koontz's being a SF nobody and a horror writer second only to S.
King. Very strange premise, but it was interesting and as an arachnophobe, very unpleasant, For some reason Koontz's early science fiction novels are hard to get, I suppose most or maybe all of them only went through a few printings perhaps, when fame embraced him and his dumb suspense tales, he did all he could to distance himself from his beginnings.
I suppose I could look all this up, but knowledge won't make the early paperbacks any cheaper, The only other one I've read is "sitelinkA Darkness In My Soul," which was so excellent that it began another completist obsession that I can in no way afford.
A very strange and facinating early novel by Koontz, Highly enjoyable. It started out Good then fizzled,
