Summary: One of my favorites
Review: From the opening scenes to the climatic finish, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. Suspenseful and character driven, two of the aspects of Dean's books I admire, propels this book to the top of my Top Ten, almost supplanting Watchers.
The villain is totally whacked, a kind of present day Frankenstein(the Doctor, not the monster) subjecting his victims to the horrors that he himself will not submit to. Will there be a movie?

Summary: Oh, Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This has GOT to be one of Koontz's best books! The corrupted mind of science goes haywire in this classic. Koontz takes us through the frightened minds of four scared, but very determined people (and one dog), and finishes the book off with a bang - literally. The burn marks are still on my wrists. Wish I could write more, but my doctor's telling me to get on the stretcher - for the 406th time. Ciao

Summary: A great thriller. . .
Review: In my opinion, MIDNIGHT is one of Koontz best novels. The gory descriptions scattered throughout the novel will keep your heart racing. And like most Koontz novels, the action jumps right out at the beginning and doesn't quit until the end. I especially like the way the stories characters must creep through the night constantly being chased by those horrible computer monster things. It keeps you at the edge of your seat because you never know when one of the monsters is going to jump out of nowhere. This book is a must for anyone who enjoys cutting edge suspence. And if you like this, you may want to try another book by Koontz called WATCHERS

Summary: Not-so-bad but Not-too-good
Review: I wouldn't say that it's one of the best Koontz novel (even if there are many that claim so). It's just an avarage story with nothing special and nothing original. The caracters are excellent although and the suspense is real good (as in all of the Koontz's books

Summary: Very plausable, especially in today's techno computer world
Review: Koontz uses two popular vehicle's to drive this novel: computer's gone mad and a very smart dog! An unbeatable combination! Both are plausable, which creates both a thriller good enough to make your hair stand on end and
warm your heart with a lovable dog named Moose. He is a trained assistance dog to help his handicapped master. Moose's training is based on a real program called Canine Companion's for Independence. Dogs like Moose are very real. Just like Koontz's novels.

Summary: A frightening page-turner that sizzles.
Review: The first book I read by Koontz, and easily one of his
best. There are scenes in this book that frighten me
to this day. Koontz's ability to create such a horrific
scenario and drag you through it breathlessly is incredible.
This book never skips a beat, however, you might feel
your heart skip quite a few before the book is over. A
top recommendation.

Summary: Exciting, but very spooky!
Review: I've read the book, Midnight, some weeks ago. It was the 35th of Koontz's books. It is SO good and exciting, and eventhough it's a very big book, it lasted three days. The best part was the way, it was writen. When he is sad, one is sad, and so on. It is also very special. afterwards I couldn't help thinking about it. It has lots of spooky elements. I say YOU should read it.

Summary: Details of horror unfold with every page in Moonlight Cove.
Review: Excellent story in which, each page tells descriptive horror of a take-over in the town of Moonlight Cove. From Adults to children everyone is turning up dead or converted and no one know how or why. FBI agent Sam Booker and his friends try to uncover the truth as they try not to be killed or converted along the way

Summary: Very good
Review: This book was an excellent thriller. I couldn't put it down. My favorite horror author is Robert R. McCammon, and in "Midnight", Dean Koontz writes in the same style. That's why I enjoyed it so much. However, I read "Midnight" and "Servants of the Twilight" one after the other in a three day period, and I had intense and violent dreams for two days afterwards. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but I forwarded both of those books to a friend, who read them both quickly in succession, and the same thing happened to her. As in, the most disturbing dreams she ever had. So, it's safe to say that this is a pretty intense book.

Summary: Hallucinagenic, creepy precursor to "Fear Nothing"
Review: Starting in the mid-1980s, Dean Koontz hit his stride with a series of terrific cross-genre novels, starting with "Strangers," which was about alien contact; "Watchers," which was about genetic engineering; and "Lightning," which was about . . . well, you'll have to read that on your own."Midnight" continues the trend, though it veers more toward horror than the others. The novel is set in a small town in Northern California, where an experiment has been transforming humans into "something else." An FBI agent and a ragtag group of survivors bands together to respond to the horror. As with most of Koontz's books, there is a palpable sense of eerieness that pervades the novel. Although the book is not without its violent and occasionally gory moments, it is not stomach-churning; Koontz generates suspense and terror more through implication than explicit description. Interestingly, Koontz recycled the central plotline here in the recent "Fear Nothing." (The setting changed from Moonlight Bay to Moonlight Cove.) The character in "Fear Nothing" is quite different, however, so you can't entirely predict the outcome from "Midnight." Still, if you like "Midnight," you should like "Fear Nothing," and vice versa. (Personally, I thought "Midnight" was creepier.)
