Watchers by Dean Koontz is the story of a dog whose intelligence has been enhanced by science, the family who finds him, and the genetically engineered "super soldier" who wants to destroy the dog.
I loved this book. Love, love, love. I loved it because it made me feel all the feels. I loved Einstein, because who doesn't want a dog who is as intelligent (albeit in a different way) as a human? I loved the bravery of Nora, and took joy in her transformation into a self-sufficient woman. I loved Travis, and his unshakable loyalty to Nora and Einstein. I had tremendous sadness for the Outsider, who was a slave to his own nature, while simultaneously wanting to belong. And I grieved when Einstein was ill, and there was a chance he would not recovery. I was on the edge of my seat during the last quarter of the book, and felt like cheering at the epilogue.
The entire sentiment of this book was uplifting. LOVE.
