À propos de cet audio

Benny is so nice they feel compelled to destroy him, but he has a friend who should scare the hell out of them in this breathtaking new kind of thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz.

Benny Catspaw’s perpetually sunny disposition is tested when he loses his job, his reputation, his fiancée, and his favorite chair. He’s not paranoid. Someone is out to get him. He just doesn’t know who or why. Then Benny receives an inheritance from an uncle he’s never heard of: a giant crate and a video message. All will be well in time.

How strange—though it’s a blessing, his uncle promises. Stranger yet is what’s inside the crate. He’s a seven-foot-tall self-described “bad weather friend” named Spike whose mission is to help people who are just too good for this world. Spike will take care of it. He’ll find Benny’s enemies. He’ll deal with them. This might be satisfying if Spike wasn’t such a menacing presence with terrifying techniques of intimidation.

In the company of Spike and a fascinated young waitress-cum-PI-in-training named Harper, Benny plunges into a perilous high-speed adventure, the likes of which never would have crossed the mind of a decent guy like him.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Ray Chase performs an unusual story of good versus evil centered on the nicest man in the world.… Chase's portrayal suits the jaunty character well, shifting between humorous and ominous to great effect. Even during dramatic violence Chase's depictions keep the story engrossing. Often Koontz breaks the fourth wall, but Chase never breaks character. With a performance that careens from funny to horrifying and back again, Benny's story is engaging and a wonderful deviation from Koontz's usual style.”—AudioFile Magazine

This was a really good, funny book! I also really like the narrator. His voice for the main character reminds me of Morty from Rick and Morty. I would definitely recommend. 👍

I really enjoy this author

When I read the poor reviews I did not believe I would not like the book after all it was by my one of favorite authors, I was wrong. The premise of the story was great but honestly this mess of a book should have been sent back to Mr. Knootz with a note saying "Rework you can do better!". It is like this was a first or second draft and toward the conclusion you definitely have the "LETS GET Er DONE" feeling. Benny the main character deserved better than this.

Believe the bad reviews!

I actually really liked this book. I read a few bad reviews but gave it a chance and had more than a few chuckles and laughs. I didn’t care for the author’s comments during the story. I get irritated easy though so found it distracting and annoying. I’m going to listen to it again, I probably missed a bit from laughing so much.
