Dragon Tears

Summary: No "pauses" in this read
Review: This start's rather bizarrely and Bryan's golem gets a tad boring. But the description of scenes in the pause is amazing. The excuses for Bryan's powers are a little run-of-the-mill and the main goodie characters as predictable and narrow minded as ever. But overall a memorable book, Koontz may not be good at creating goodies but he's an expert when it comes to baddies.

Summary: Dross
Review: They say that everybody has one good book in them. Well Dean Koontz has certainly proved this age old adage, by writing 'Watchers' - a beacon of light in the sea of darkness that is horror fiction - then spending the rest of his life writing complete and utter dross. How one man can write a 300 page novel based entirely in an abandoned building, with only 5 characters (one of which a 'golem', the other a dog - yeah, nice insight into a dog's psyche there Dean.) is beyond any level of belief. In truth, this review could cover any of his books, which all follow the same tedious formula of poor characterisation and complete abscence of plot.

Rating:
Summary: Good, but under developed
Review: A great book, but if Koontz had have written another 10-20 pages on Bryan, his powers, how he got them, and his motives, the book would be a 5

Summary: SATISFYING! ORIGINAL! I TRULY ENJOYED READING IT...
Review: When I was 28 I told myself I had outgrown Dean Koontz after having just read a disappointing Koontz novel. I'm now 36 and recently picked up DRAGON TEARS. WOW was it good, and it really reminded me of why I liked Dean Koontz so much. This story was so original, so subtle, yet so terrifying. The suspense builds so gradually that you hardly feel it and then you're tied up in knots to see what happens next. Koontz's character development was awesome, and the ending had me laughing so hard my spouse came into the room to see what was so funny. Thank you Dean Koontz, and I'm sorry I pushed your books aside 8 yrs. ago-- my loss and my mistake!

Summary: fast paced and intriguing
Review: I have read just about every Dean Koontz book with the exception of "Fear Nothing" (which I still have to read) and "Twilight Eyes". It started off quite differently and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get into it but once I was in, I was hooked. It was fast paced and the characters were as usual very well described. Not perhaps his best, in fact I would give it only three and a half stars but nevertheless entertaining and fun!!

Summary: Nobody understands dogs like Koontz.
Review: Do you love dogs? Then you'll love this book. Put aside the terror and suspense (and imagination) for a moment. Koontz is the first author I know of that has portrayed the mind of a dog with such accuracy that, after reading it, you'll want to go out and sniff behinds. Maybe that's a hyperbole. And it probably is in poor taste. But you know what I mean, if you love dogs. But the fact is, I loved the chapters seen through the eyes of a dog. Although short, they'll leave with with an appreciation of the canine psychology that will make you laugh. Bark, whine, bark.

Summary: Incredible! One of his best ever!
Review: Dragon Tears is a truely amazing sci-fi experience. Koontz captivates you with an iron grip and doesn't let go the whole way through. When you get caught in a book this intense, you can't let go because it won't let go of you!

Summary: Dean Koontz's Best

Summary: A fast paced, crazy rollarcoaster of a book.
Review: This book... wow. I don't think a ever read a book that had me so interested in exactally what was going on. The way that Dean Koontz brought all of the different stories together in the end... it's undiscribable. Every one that I have recomended this book to agrees that it's a 5-star, two thumbs up story! Enjoy it!

Summary: Another page turner masterpiece!!
Review: Dragon Tears will keep you up until the middle of the morning reading and reading some more. You have your classic main characters. Male and female cop partners that you find in alot of Koontz's novels. These two go together and Koontz does a great job creating thier personalities. There are parts that are a little slow that is why I only gave it 4 stars. But don't worry if you read this book you won't find many of those parts. Amazing, captivating, hair raising, hell of a good time. Read it. You'll be glad you did.
