Rating: Summary: Intense to say the Least Review: I was completely absorbed by this book--I couldn't wait to pick it up at night... well witten with a great plot... being in the business, I know the Edgler Vess types do exist.
Rating: Summary: Chillingly good - and possibly real Review: It's been shown by criminologists that most serial killers are friendly, intelligent people in everyday life. Dean Koontz has produced a worthy companion to the likes of Dragon Tears with this stunning chiller / thriller which not only tackles this issue head on with a smart, likeable killer named Edgler Vess, but brings in the sub plot of a tortured young woman, Chyna Shepherd, who has to fly in the face of everything life has taught her to save herself as well as Vess's next victim, an innocent girl. A true psychological tale, full of suspense and intrigue, and a stunning revelation about Vess at the end. A magnificent piece of work with brilliant prose and a hard-hitting plot.
Rating: Summary: Mental images that you really don't need in your brain Review: This book was well written, and does keep you on the edge of your seat. However, throughout the book I was cringing at the graphic and shocking nature of the evil lived out in the "bad guy". I now wish that I hadn't filled my mind with all of the disgusting images that this book has to offer. I believe in the truth of the cliche "garbage in - garbage out" and I'm sure that I'm the worse for taking in this type of "garbage". For those of you who have read the all-time best-seller "The Bible", reading this book is in opposition to the teaching in Phil 4:8.
Rating: Summary: Extremely Intense Review: This has got to be one of the best books I have ever read. I was unable to put it down. Between Chyna, Ariel, and Mr. Vess the action was unbelievable. I do find it far fetched that the main character, Chyna, would have stayed in danger the way she did in real life when she had so many chances of escape. However, this is fiction at it's best. The occupation of Mr. Vess also took me by surprise, but I can't think of a better ending for the book. This is definitely a book worth reading and re-reading.
Rating: Summary: One of his best.. Review: I've read this one twice..I think it is one of his best. I am a huge fan but I just think he out did himself on this one. The book grabs you in the beggining and doesn't let go till the very end.
Rating: Summary: This has got to be one of my favorite books! Review: This was my first book that I have read written by Dean Koontz. I couldn't put it down! I read the book in one day! It was a heart pounding, thought provoking thriller that you will never forget.
Rating: Summary: The First Dean Koontz book I ever read Review: I never read any of Dean Koontz books before until my wife recommended I read Intense. I, being a big Frank Peretti fan, was really hooked on this one and can't wait to read more of his books. It had me on the edge of my seat and I found myself talking to this book which I never done before. Does anyone know if this book has been turned into a movie? If it hasn't, it would make a damn good one.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: This is the best Dean Koontz book I have ever read. It is non-stop from beginning to end; I literally did not put it down! His vivid descriptions make one feel as if they are right there. If you want to read an INTENSE book, definitely read this one. The title says it all!
Rating: Summary: damn good Review: this is a damn good book. wait until you have nothing else to do before you read it. i swear you can read it one sitting with no problem.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: It's the fourth book that I have read by Koontz and by far the best one so far. I don't think I have ever read a book that fast in my life! If I wasn't reading it I was thinking about what was going to happen in it. If you ever want to read a book by Koontz and don't know which to to read first then I highly recomend this one to be it. From start to finish it will keep you on the edge of your seat!
