Rating: Summary: A GREAT book Review: This book is about a man with a rare genitic disorder that limits him to the nighttime. He genius mother tried to find a way to cure his disease, but ended up creating a genetically altered world. Afther Christopher Snow's father dies, he finds out it was not cancer and that many people were involved in his death. Throughout this story the world as Chris Snow knows it is changed for the worse. This is a great story that had to be finished in one night. **Beware of the monkeys!**
Rating: Summary: Fear Nothing Review: Fear Nothing and it's sequel, Seize the Night, are outstanding and entertaining books. Way to short. I find myself reading slower and slower and the end nears. It's like a movie you don't want to be over. All the characters are wonderful and I hope will continue to stay together in future episodes. I think I will boycott Koontz if he lets anything happen to any of them. They are family and complement each other.It is so refreshing to read a book that you don't have to read previous books to follow, yet know what is going. But, I'm glad I got in on the beginning. My sister and girlfriend are now hooked. Both books are must-reads. Benét
Rating: Summary: It kept my pulse pounding Review: I have slowly become a fan of Dean Koontz and after reading this, well, I am addicted. The suspense from page to page kept me up all night. The characters were wonderfully written and some areas of the book were hilarious. All in all, I loved this book!
Rating: Summary: Is my book missing some pages? Review: I love Dean Koontz and his earlier books, they have always been fantastic, I couldn't wait for this book to come out. I read the book, and was so disappointed in the ending...I thought the content was good, but the ending was so abrupt, I thought I was missing a chapter or two. It could've been better, and I hope Koontz gets back his old fire, and stops trying to be so..whatever he's trying to be!
Rating: Summary: Classic Koontz, this is NOT! Review: As a fan of many of Koontz's books, I found this one to be ultimately disappointing. The descriptions seemed to be filler and the story died about 2/3 of the way through. I found it hard to finish, but I will buy the next in the hopes of a resolution to all that transpired in this one. Dean, stick with what you do best. Readers,do yourself a favor and read Watchers again. Skip this tired,rehashed genetic bore.
Rating: Summary: It was too complex &made you wonder "why is he doing this?!" Review: The book was extended and had alot of uneccesary details I beleive. In the book Christopher Snow did alot of things that I beleive were dumb or he really shouldn't have done if he had any right mind.The book in a whole was good at the beginning ,dragged through the middle, and had a pretty pointless end. I had to do a book report on it and realized how outlandish this book really was when summarized.
Rating: Summary: Exciting and interesting plot. Held my attention to the end Review: The book started a little slow, but once it got going, the travels of Chris Snow, in the two nights the book takes place, held my attention completely. In places Koontz got a little over discriptive, but generally the book read well and was fun. I would recommend the book for anyone who likes some sci-fi type plots and who likes to see the good guy win in the end; at least the end of this book anyway.
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC!!! Review: Everyone must go out right now and by this book. Right when I started to read, I could not put it down until the end. And you wouldn't believe who the killer is. This book is so suspenful and very, very funny. A must read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: So boring I could barely finish.. Review: I read Koontz a lot as a teenager and really loved his stuff, but this book was so boring and so unlikely that I had to force myself to finish it. There was absolutely nothing to fear in this book because it was just plain stupid.
Rating: Summary: Wow! Review: I am not a Koontz fan. In fact, someone gave me this book on tape and I didn't listen to it for several months. I just took a job with a long commute, and listened to it over a period of 2 weeks. All I can say is: Wow! I am so sorry I didn't listen to it before. What a great story! What great charecters! What great scene settings and descriptions. I found myself driving the long way home, just so I could hear more. I was unhappy when it was over, then pleasantly suprised to find "Seize the Night" and instantly plunked that into my tape deck. Even better!!! I cannot speak highly enough of this book. I am not a horror fan, but a Sci-Fi fan, so that may be why some people are saying the book is not thrilling enough for them. This had more than enough for me and enough things to think about and spark my imagination. And...Chris Snow is possibly one of the best heros ever written. Thanks, Mr. Koontz for a great story!!!
