Summary: What happened!!!!!
Review: Let me first point out that four of my top ten favourite books of all time are written by Dean Koontz. I literally devour his books and they are usually satisfying in a way or another. When I first heard he was working in a trilogy I could not wait to buy my copy of the first volume. But, What a mayor dissapointment!. Difficult to explain , the idea is good and the characters original but nothing in this book is appealing. And that annoying surfing lingo!. This smells to contract obligations. So I will skip the next two and wait for the real Koontz to come back.

Summary: Good but Not Great
Review: This book had most of the things I would expect to find in a Dean Koontz book, suspence, detail, and good character development. The only thing that dissapointed me was the fact that I didn't seem to find as much suspense in this book as I find in most of his books, ie-Watchers or Lightning. If you are a big Dean Koontz fan ,though, this a is a must read

Summary: An overall good book.
Review: Bottom line: this book was good, not great, just good. The story-line was unique and thrilling, but the descriptions became a bit much toward the end and the climax wasn't very exciting. I did like this book, though, and would reccomend it to any Dean Koontz fans.

Summary: Very Very Good - one star taken off for too much scenery
Review: This is a very good book with a great plot, characters, etc. but some of the descriptions of the scenery and the fog became a little burdensome to read but that's a minor complaint. I think this is better than his other books.
Rating:
Summary: Compelling and fun to read, scary and not without humor.
Review: After a slow start, Fear Nothing became increasingly interesting and frightening. The continual affirmations and surfer lingo might have gotten old after awhile, however, I highly recommend the book. It leaves a lasting memory and raises ethical questions.

Summary: Dean Koontz has gotten on the wrong track.
Review: I love Dean Koontz novels and have read all of the ones I can find. But this one just pissed me off. How can you go back to a town that was haunted by weird super race people that became their computers, a super race, and start a whole new novel. Then this Sieze the Night crap is just making me more angry, because I hate series, I promise I cursed King when he did his Green Mile bull. If Koontz wants to succeed he should write some more of those earlier types of novels, like Twilight Eyes, Strangers, Night Chills, and The Funhouse. Those are his best novels and if he can regain the urge to write more of these, he will become the hottest thing since Brittney Spears. Hey I know I am only fourteen, but I just want to read some more good stuff.

Summary: One of my least favorite books by my most favorite author
Review: I was actually disappointed with this book. I wasn't at all drawn to the characters or hooked into the storyline as I am with so many of his books. I will probably read the sequel despite my less than positive review.
Rating:
Summary: Nonstop action that keeps you on the edge of your seat
Review: I really loved this book. It brings the reader directly into the action and keeps that action going from beginning to end. I found myself putting off other activities to find out what happens to Chris and Orson and the other characters.

Summary: The ol' cliche: I simply couldn't put it down.
Review: My life was becoming boring, redundant with plots that were far too easy to guess, bottled characters that repeated bad dialog from third rate cinema and animals that hid hearts of demon murderers. <yawn> Enter Christopher Snow and company. Not since reading the battle between good and evil in Frank Peretti's "This Present Darkness" (read while in college, we won't mention when that was) have I been so unable to leave a story until the last page was turned. Then, I did what I've only done once before, turned the book to the first page and read it again. There are so many glorious and unexpected details in this story that I didn't allow myself to relish them all in my haste to the end the first time through. A fantastic read, both times. The sequel, Seize the Night, was equally as rewarding a read as this novel. My only regret is that I've found these novels written by a contemporary. This necessitates an excrutiating wait between volumes. As Bobby Halloway would put that, "Bummer."
