Santa's Twin

Summary: Funny Christmas Tradition!
Review: This is an awesome Christmas book for late at night during the holiday season. I read this to my 5 year old sister and she loved it! Not only is it a great story but there is the added fun of trying to find the "hidden snowmen" on every page. Not many people know this but this is a sort of "continiunce" of Dean's earlier adult horror book "Mr. Murder". Santa's Twin features the family from that book. The storyline of Twin came from a story that was told to the kids in Mr. Murder. Overall, great Christmas book!

Summary: One of the funniest Christmas books for all ages!
Review: This is one of the funniest children's books I have ever read. My seven year old niece introduced it to me last Christmas. Not only was the story hillarious and rivoting, and the rhyming perfect, but the "find a snowman in every picture" theme kept us enthralled long after the story had been read. The pictures were also quite beautiful, I might add - a tribute to the heights of quality children's books have reached in the past few years. This year I bought this book for all of my other nieces and nephews - as well as a copy for myself!

Summary: A new Christmas treasure by Dean Koontz
Review: Twas just before Christmas And all was not right. Because Santa's bad twin Set out to ruin the night. He was mean and nasty A horrible elf. And he gave ghastly gifts And was proud of himself. He left old Saint Nick Tied up in a bag. Then went out and changed good gifts Into ones that would gag. But all was not lost 'Cause two girls saved the day. Old Bad Bob was tied up And tossed into the sleigh. Yes, Dean Koontz has written A new Christmas treasure. That kids of all ages should read At least twice for good measure.

Summary: Return to my youth
Review: When I was a little boy I loved nothing more than curling up in my bed at night when the latest omnibus of children's horror stories. Dean Koontz has taken his well honed craft and added his touch to this genre, with remarkable results. How I wish this book would have been around when I was a child, I probably would have read it about 10 times by now. I read it myself first to ensure it was suitable for my children and found that I couldn't put it down. When I eventually got round to reading it to the kids it became a war of wills, with them trying to stay awake as long as possible each night trying to intake as much of the story as possible before tiredness took them and they finally crossed over into dreamworld. The fact that as soon as I had finished reading this book, the children asked for me to read it to them again is testament to just how fantastic this book is. For some great family entertainment on a cold winters night then it doesn't come much better than this. I should also state that the illustrations are also remarkable and enhance the enjoyment of the experience. A must for every child's bookshelf.

Review: While this book may not be for everyone, it is very funny. It is written in a style similar to Dr. Suess with beautiful illustrations and a funny story. The kids that I read this with especially like the "hidden snowman" on every page. This is a great addition to your Christmas collection.
