Summary: a good idea spoilt
Review: I don't understand why readers continue to make bestselling authors out of people who couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag! I have read - and been disappointed - by Dean Koontz before but thought that the reviews of Night Chills sounded promising. However, his wooden characters, stereotypical and unrealistic dialogue there is no WAY that a child of the age of the little girl would ever talk or think in the way that Koontz makes her!) and plain bad prose, ruin any enjoyment I might have got from a fairly good idea. Also, Mr Koontz's stories have a well-built up beginning, a predictable nice-guys-always-win ending and absolutely no middle. Finally, surely Mr Koontz could have come up with a few more creative ways to use subliminal mind control - sex and murder get a bit old after a while. Very disappointing. Won't be buying any more books by this author.

Summary: Satanic Porn
Review: I have to agree with everyone else that the idea for this book was very original. The idea of mind control is though-provoking, but the way that Koontz brings it out is a little...disgusting. All Salsbury wanted from his subliminal messages was rape and to murder women to, apparently, pay back all the people that were a part of his troubled childhood. Overall, this book was OK, in that the idea of it was good. But some of the gruesome details of rape, murder, and other disgusting situations could have been left out for a better reading experience.

Summary: My least favorite Koontz novel....
Review: I have to say that this is my least favorite Koontz novel. It was very dull and slow. It took 100 pages before something actually happened. While I was reading the book, I hoped that it would get more exciting but it never did.

Summary: WOW!
Review: I liked it, a lot. This was about the 15th of his books that I've read, and this was the best by far.
Rating:
Summary: This is SUCH a good book
Review: I must admit, this book may not be for everybody, but out of every Koontz book I've read, this has been the best. At times it does get very explicit and not everyone enjoys that. I thought it was very interesting though the way he used the sublminial messaging not just to rule over the world. Its the one book that I've read where I wanted the bad guys to win.

Summary: Interesting read...
Review: I truly enjoyed this book. I am a true fan of Dean's earlier books. This is a classic. His characters are well written, believable, and colorful. The subject of subliminal messages and the use and misuse of it is truly interesting. I liked this book A LOT. This is one of Dean's best.
Rating:
Summary: Not recomended
Review: I would never ever expect a book like this from Dean. It has an interesting subject. It's about controlling people by their subconscious but the book isn't as good as the subject
Rating:
Summary: A reality thriller that does not fail!
Review: I'll admit to a few slow points in the this novel, but only a few. The fact that the subliminal messaging/mind control is a reality and possibility is what starts to grip you ... then the story as a whole takes over, soon you'll be beging to find out the ending. Gruesome and graphic are the murders... very graphic is the sex (parents keep that in mind)... and haunting is the tale.The drug used to induce the "program" is made up, Koontz admits it, but if your easily paranoid then prepare...

Summary: Night chills
Review: I'm so scared! This book is not a hoax. Subliminal messages is in our adverising! It's not impossible the the things that is in the book will happend.
Rating:
Summary: More like Night Boredom
Review: If you plan on being bored out of your mind by a book you thought was going to be a psychological thriller, think again. I had more terror watching my cat stare at me while I tried to read than I did from any chapter in this perpetuating bore. A Koontz book that I found truly impressive was Shadowfires. I believe that is his best work thus far.
