Summary: Koontz does it again
Review: Once again Dean Koontz has given us a well written, well thought, suspensful thriller. I have read every book Koontz has ever put out and he has yet to disappoint me. This book, like all of his books, contains just the right amount of supernatural elements along with believable characters with human limits.Christopher Snow is a man limited to darkness my a disease. Even things such as a flash light could be deadly in the long run to the books hero. Plot twists at every turn and a wonderful read.

Summary: Exciting and mysterious
Review: I started to read this book at night before going to sleep. Needless to say, I couldn't put it down and my heartbeat was racing so fast I eventually had trouble falling asleep. The plot focuses on a boy with a pigment disease who can only come out into the world at night. He discovers a whole underworld of life in his small town and it is interesting to see who is involved and who isn't. The basis is on genetics and it is scary that it really could happen. I would definately recommend reading this story. It will make you look over the side of the bed at night to make sure nothing is there!

Summary: Koontz Bites Off More Than He Can Chew (spoiler)
Review: Briefly, Koontz has done his usual frustrating thing: written a book full of likeable characters and highlighted by some remarkable scenes, but then shot himself in the foot by not knowing when to stop. A sequel to "Seize the Night," "Fear Nothing" takes place in the same moonlit town. Orson the (almost) talking dog and his pigmentally-challenged owner hit the night streets to save the town. Some genuine suspense follows, but Koontz digs himself in too deep with too many plots -- an entire extended (and dull) scene involving an underground time-travel room should have been cut completely. As for the future of the town... and the series... what fun is it when we already know it is "too late?"

Summary: A crowd pleaser for the KOONTZ DIE HARDS!
Review: The Wyvern labs are at it again in this new peice of the puzzle by Koontz. That's right the Lab that produced Einstein from the book "Watchers". Any die hard Koontz fan would love this book and there are two more installments that I have heard of. One is available now called "Seize The Night" and the other hasn't been released yet. I have noticed that some of the "Self Proclaimed CRITICS" here have mentioned that the characters were too perfect. So I thought I would like to remind them to please read the Author's note in "Fear Nothing". Because Christopher Snow, Bobby Halloway, Sasha Goodall, and Orson are real! Nugh Said!

Summary: This book is garbage
Review: The first time I read this book, I swear it was entitled "Watchers." Koontz is shameless in his blatant use of plot repetition between novels. Is it mere coincidence that the storyline of "Fear Nothing" revolves around super-smart genetically altered animals escaping from a top-secret laboratory and savagely killing whomever gets in their way? He even goes so far as to call one of them "The Other" rather than "The Outsider." How about Christopher Snow's Einstein-like dog, who understands complex verbal speech, answers every question with a response, and even makes jokes from time to time. Dean has obviously run out of ideas and has therefore decided to basically rewrite his most popular story. Just as in Watchers, the love scenes in Fear Nothing are sickeningly exaggerated and corny, as the two main characters tend to view their sexual encounters as the most powerful force in the galaxy. The "timeless time and placeless place where Sasha is the only energy, the only force in the universe, so bright" is nauseating to any person not obsessed with romance novels. Just as Koontz became infatuated with explaining the tediously boring details of mountain climbing in "The Face of Fear," he again irritates the reader with several ongoing surf references in Fear Nothing. It sounds as though he actually picked up the "Complete Idiots Guide to Surfer Lingo" and plagarized a few lines directly into his story. Fear Nothing is slow-moving, unrevealing, and seriously lacking in the action department. Unless you are energized by a borrowed plot filled with annoying first-person insights, then this is the perfect book to put you to sleep. If you want a heart-pounding, suspense-filled thriller, look somewhere else.

Summary: FEAR ITSELF!
Review: What can I say....I was hooked from page 1. An intriguing and satisfying read. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone to read this book, whether they are a fan or not! If you read this one you HAVE to read the follow up book Seize The Night - it answers a lot of questions from this book. Finally, ENJOY this EXCELLENT book P.S. worry if the Wyvern monkey troop appear at your local supermarket! - it will all become clear if you read this book!

Summary: An absurd non-story
Review: I think I'm finally going to have to give up hope on Dean Koontz. Long ago, he seemed to have fallen into ultra-trite, repetitive formulas. Christopher Snow and his buddies are SO goody-goody that I was practically rooting for the monkeys (don't ask). I mean come on, Sasha plays the synthezier, acoustic and electric guitar, sax, piano, composes original scores , is a gourmet cook, maintains an elaborate indoor herb garden, holds a fulltime radio job in addition to being general manager of the station, and yet still manages to have a loving and deeply meaningful relationship with someone who can't be exposed to any sort of direct light? (plus being so good - luckily - with a gun) I felt guilty just wasting the time sitting in my dusty living room reading the book! Koontz also has decided he needs to impress us with his elaborate knowledge of surf lingo. Guess what...don't care. Orson was an annoying, too cutsey addition. Koontz has hammered super-intelligent animals to death in several books. He's also hammered to death Moonlight Cove being ground zero in genetic manipulation gone awry. What is this....the third book that he has subjected this particular population to some sort of de-evolution? Is there anyone even remotely human remaining in this city? Ultimately the book fizzles to a very unsatisfactory ending with no climax. It is so boring that I have no desire to pick up the sequel if one ever is printed.

Summary: Fear Something
Review: Fear this book. Once again Koontz foists his own paranoid "the goverment is out to get us" fantasies on his readers. This book is full of tortured metaphors and hollow sounding "surfer speak". If not for the dog, Orson, the thing would be a total loser. As it stands it's packed full of useless musings and slow-paced "tension building" that could easily be cut. As it stands the book is bloated by 200 pages. Fear this book. Buy something else.

Summary: Pretty impressive read
Review: Well, this book hooks you right off the bat, with the mysterious stealing of Christopher's father's body. This sets off an immediate whirlwind of action, including a nicely set chase at the morgue and the surrounding hills. It is established that every resident that Chris knows might be an enemy, including the police. The genetic disorder that Chris possesses adds a differnt layer to the story, and makes supposedly simple solutions and actions complex. Having to fear a flashlight almost as much as a gun is jarring. One aspect that I would have liked the book to have explored more was Chris's advantage of having better night vision than his enemies. His friends are rather likable, with Bobby's non-reactions to extremely weird events a nice change of pace. To be honest, the surfer lingo is a bit stupid. Chris's relationship to his dog is also very interesting, as are the revelations. Sasha could have had a little more character development. Koontz novels typically use pseudo-science, sometimes to ill effect. This time, however, the idea is pretty well thought out, and has some basis in reality. The strange occurences in one of Chris's adult friend's house before a fire are chilling indeed. This book could have been a little more stand-alone, with the sequels being absolutely necessary for maximum payoff. Still, pretty engrossing book.
