Summary: The ABSOLUTE BEST Dean Koontz novel
Review: Let me start by stating how much I love this book. I would have to go as far as to say that this was the best book that I've ever read. By the time you've finished reading this book, you can't help but love Travis, Nora, and Einstein, or feel at least some compassion for the Outsider. I honestly loved how Koontz started with a bunch of different characters and was then able to bring and tie them all together. When I finished this book, I told a couple of my friends about it, and they both loved it as well. I can't help but rave about this book...it's a classic! I give it two thum...well 5 stars at least

Summary: Watchers = Mr. Murder
Review: I have only read two Koontz books. Has anyone else noticed that "Mr. Murder" is a revision of "Watchers"? Does Mr. Koontz tend to repeat himself in his other books?

Summary: You just can't put it down!
Review: This is a very exciting book. I truly loved it. It grabbed me from the beginning and I just couldn't put it down. This book gives it all a little comedy, suspense, sympathy. A "must read"!

Rating:
Summary: So Intense!
Review: I loved this book from start to finish. I read this book when I was 16 and have read many other Dean Koontz books, but this has to be the best one yet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be terrified. It was just so intense that I could not put this book down. I recomend it to any Dean Koontz fan.

Summary: Tears galore!
Review: This book, in concept, is the good twin to Koontz's other blockbuster Dark Rivers of the Heart. I've always had a tender spot for animals, but the emotions and ponderings this story wrought in the direction of animals with extreme intelligence is probably more profound than any other gene-experimentation plot ever! I love the canine star more than any ever introduced, and thanks to Einstein, cried basins out of love, anger, hate, sorrow, regret, pity, fear, and happiness for a life created soully to touch others! This is the most emotionally draining book you'll ever read if you're partial to dogs, and I guarantee you'll want to get a Golden Retriever when you're done! An absolutely heart-wrenching tale!

Summary: What a Great Story!!!!!!!
Review: This has to be one of the best books I have read in a long time! It has a gripping story line that pulls you in and keeps you hooked from the first chapter. I could not put it down.

Summary: It is still the best book I have ever read!
Review: Out of the twenty-three or more Koontz books I have read so far, I have to say this is still the best book of his. I read it when I was down in Orange County for the first time in my life and to know that he was writing of the same county I was in, made it even more horrific. The way he details his characters and setting makes the book that more easy to forget about the real world around you and put yourself into Koontzworld!!!! I recommend this book to anyone that loves Horror and Science-fiction books.

Summary: Koontz's best
Review: He may re-work the same idea many times in his different novels (Mr. Murder seemed WAY too much like Hideaway) and use some seriously 2 dimensional characters in many of them, but with Watchers, Dean Koontz tells such an original story with such rich detail that it stands out. It still isn't as deeply layered as some of Stephen King's (not all of King is untouchable, as Cujo sucked) but Koontz really tells a compelling story with Watchers.

Summary: One of his best--and a theme revisited in SEIZE THE NIGHT
Review: I think this is one of Dean Koontz best and one of my all time favorite books. It is a gripping tale of horror, love, and wonder. It is probably one of the reasons I am now owned by a Golden Retriever! This isn't the first time I have read this book--or reread it for that matter-- but I had to read it again after seeing that Koontz revisits this theme in his(soon to be a trilogy) SEIZE THE NIGHT series. This book definitely stood the test of time and I found I enjoyed it more than the SEIZE THE NIGHT series (although I enjoyed those enough that I'll buy the third book in hard cover).

Summary: "I LOVE THE CHARACTER EINSTEIN"
Review: This was a heart-warming novel with all the compassion and lovability of "Lassie" except with more suspense and aaction to make it an even better tale. Definatley read this book if you like animals and action!! Only flaw was, the same flaw as many Dean Koontz novels, too much detail and rambing on and on and on. Still, read it!!
