Ticktock : A novel

Rating:
Summary: suspensful, but hilarious
Review: this is the first Koontz book i have ever read. From the very first page, it had seized my heart,and i devoured it in just two days. I love del, b/c she is witty, humorous. She counteracts the horror that brought by the minikin, which shows Koontz's great prowness at writing. But some plots are not thoroughly plausible, like the alien abdution, ufo staff, and the ending is not Koontz's wise choice. Anyway, i like this book, and i recommend it to all the folks who wanna be entertained by reading a book.

Summary: Different yet entertaining
Review: I have long been a fan of Koontz because his books always seem to have an element of reality in them.Although Tick Tock is very different from his usual efforts, it is a good kind of different. So many of us have had dolls and have often wondered what would happen if they came alive and in Tick Tock that question is answered. When Tommy Phan finds himself in the position of having to save his life from a doll that metamorphises into a demon, we can see some of our childhood nightmares in that situation.But the injection of comedy vis Phan's mother and Del and Scooty makes the book a compelling read.

Summary: An ok, lighter read....
Review: Tick Tock had a little humor that i enjoy seeing in Koontz's books. I enjoyed the book but did not find it as gripping as some of his others. The fact that I did read it all the way through does say something however. I really enjoy his notes to the readers that he blesses us with in some of his books.

Summary: Here's how to combine horror and comedy!
Review: This is the first book I've read by Koontz, but others (Intensity, Dragon Tears, ...) have soon followed.
He's the only author I can remember who really managed to make the characters become alive before my eyes, and inside of me looking through theirs. Who hasn't fallen in love with Del?

Summary: The First I haven't been able to finish
Review: I started reading Tick Tock a few months ago. I still haven't finished it yet. In fact I haven't picked it up for over a month. The plot is seems like a rewrite of the 70's movie "Trilogy Of Terror." A little doll goes nuts with a knife. Koontz books usually grab my attention by page 2 or 3. Tick Tock hasn't done that yet. Right now my copy sits in the bathroom next to Reader's Digest. So if I'm particularlly constipated I may find the time to pick it up again.

Summary: How Bizarre!!!
Review: This is my 1st Koontz book. After Chapter 6, the book became so bizarre, I didn't know if I wanted to continue reading it. I finished it, but was very disappointed with the conclusion. I'm not into science fiction, but if you are, this ending might just satisfy your craving

Rating:
Summary: $20 is a ridiculous price for this book !
Review: This book can be found anywhere for $5

Summary: Definately not one of his better books
Review: I really like Dean Koontz's work but this one was definately a big disappointment. In the beginning it seemed as though it had potential. However it kept going no where and the ending was the worst of all. His adding the supernatural and ufo abuctions came out of no where and made absoutely no sense at all. I had just finished reading Intensity which was absoutely great and then I read Tick Tock which was terrible. I really don't know what he was thinking. I hope he doesn't try going down that road again. Overall though his books are really good reading, but I guess everyone deserves one mistake

Summary: SUSPENSE FILLED COMEDY SUCKED
Review: Let me say this. This is my first dean koontz book I've read and let me tell you I'm not impressed. The starting hundred pages are fast pace relentless suspense. But after that it becomes this comedy thriller witch I did not like. The carachters were well drawn and there was some good suspense but the ending SUCKED.I felt like he took the easy way out and just made up any old ending. That was the huge flaw of the book. It was like he coud'nt find a sutiable ending so he just gave a bad one. The only thing that kept me from giving this a 1 was del. The mysterious heat packing woman that can kick any demons ass blindfolded. The mystery to her was the best put when I found out why she's so wierd its disapointing. She was the best part of the book.Mr koontz im about to start intesity and I hope that its better then this juckass story
