Summary: What is This Small Town Hiding? More than you Know....
Review: They're hiding stuff only in your worst nightmares. The typical Koontz thriller with stuff that will send chills down your spine and told from first person point of view it made it much more real.
This is from a trilogy that I haven't read otherwise, but found it easy to follow and the main character of Christopher Snow very interesting. He has a rare disease called XP, which makes him prone to skin cancer. He cannot go into the sun at all and must live his life at night or by candlelight.The story is about him trying to find out how his parents died. They seemed to die of mysterious circumstances and the things he sees while roaming the night after his father's death sets the tone for the book. It all takes place in 48 hours. His entire life as he knew it will change. The town he loves so much is hiding a deep and dark secret that could distroy him and everything he loves.
The only people he can trust are his surfer best friend Bobby and his midnight dee-jay girlfriend Sasha and his beer lapping-almost-human dog Orson. Everyone else seems to have some kind of link to this madness and is determined to silence anyone getting in the way.
Can Chris save them all from this threat? Will his XP be a blessing in disguise or a curse far worse than he can imagine? The town of Moonlight Bay is about to become an Eden full of snakes of every size and shape. I love how Mr. Koontz makes animals so real in his stories and almost human in a sense. Not alot of authors do this and its a nice change of pace. Orson was a blast and became one of the main characters that we cheered for. The plot was also very different and unique. Alot of reviewers had problems with the action, but I loved it and became engrossed in the story quickly. Very surprising and weird, a true Koontz book :) Tracy Talley~@

Summary: Connection btxt Koontz books
Review: This is an incredible book. I couldnt put it down. The sequel is great too. But anywayz, to get to the point.... When the explain about the experiment that made Orson, they talk about how the were trying to recreate an earlier experiment...The Francis Project. And if you read Watchers, his best book ever, you may have noticed that Einstein comes from the Francis Project.

Summary: Fear Nothing because this book ROCKS!
Review: I wouldn't normally give any thriller 5 stars (I mean, we're not talking about serious fiction here folks) but the rating on this book MUST go higher so I'm giving it 5 stars just to help. This is not only the best Koontz has written (with the possible exception of Lightning), it's also the most truthful and human. By truthful I mean Koontz not only broke out of his annoying formula mold, but also overcame most of his dialogue issues that can drive you to drink at times. This is a damn good story and a sweet one at that. I really, really cared about these characters. I just can't say enough about how much fun this was to read. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. You won't be sorry.

Summary: What!????
Review: Okay to start thing off, why do most loyal readers of Dean Koontz books absolutly hate this book? I thoght this book was one of his best peices of work ever. It is writen in a 1st person perspective. It may be a little on the weird side but that does not change much at all. It has all the elements of a great book. It has a very origanal plot and christipher Snow is one of his most out of the ordinary charecters I have read about so far. It is also a little funny witch isn't unusual for Dean Koontz This novel has a genius dog (witch I think is a great addition to any novel) that heps Christepher throught the story to solve the mystery of Wyvern. Now I'd like to talk about the plot. The story starts off as Chris answering the phone and haveing to go to the hospitol to talk to hs father for the last time. He is told to fear nothing and the suspense begins. After that he sees some men that are supposed to be leaving to creamat his fahter take another man the beat to take the place as his fahter. He then is off on the jurney to figure out why his fathers copse was swaped. He is lead back to wyvern and he doscoveirs many things in the span of one night. This is a most read for loyel Dean Koontz fans and anyone else that want to read a great book. In all this book is suspenseful, funny, and a absolutely wonderful book!

Summary: Extra-smart animals once again, but in the best way
Review: Koontz seem to have something with extra-smart animals, especially dogs, and you can find this motive in at least 3 of his books. His geniusee is that he's wrapping this naive or even childish idea with scientific ideas and very realistic terrors. The charecters in this book are great, the book is scary and yet fun, and is a great way to pass a summer's night, or better, a stormy winter night!

Summary: Love the characters.
Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. The idea of mutant monkeys is a bit dumb, but it is made up for in the characters. I just love Chris, Bobby, Sascha and of course Orson. I want to read the sequel, not because I really care if the mutants take over the town (or the world) but because I love hanging out with the characters.

Summary: Read(or listen to) This Book!!...
Review: This is my first review but this book is worth it! I've read it,but first listened to the audiobook. If possible give the audiobook a chance. My girlfriend and I started listening to it on our trip to Disneyworld and we couldn't wait to get back to the car each day to find out what happens next! The sequal is as good or better! I fought listening/reading this book kicking and screaming, and wound up loving it! I hope you give this book a chance!

Summary: Not Koontz's best
Review: After trying to read this work and failing three times, I took a chance at listening to the audio version ... and it worked, though slowly. Not until midway did the story grab me. Then I found myself looking for reasons to run errrands to listen while driving. Suffering from a rare and incurable disease (XP) and unable to expose himself to natural or artificial light, Christopher Snow (aka, Snowman) leads a nocturnal life: intriguing premise, perhaps ingenious. Unfortunately, Koontz fails to develop Snowman as a complex, three-dimensional charagcter suffering from the disorder. The story plays out one night in Moonlight Bay, on the California coast. Encounters with mutant monkeys and intelligent dogs and cats -- as well as malicious residents who are "becoming" -- proliferate almost out of control. Through it all, Christopher displays a resolve and toughness that have not been established. With the help of his friend Bobby, who remains "cool" in all situations (too cool), they prevail. Also, not yet 30 years of age, they just happen to be independently wealthy. C'mon! More challenging yet, I listened to the novel after finishing Stephen King's ON WRITING, a sound and entertaining memoir, in which King elaborates his disdain for adverbs (echoing Strunk & White). Koontz, violates the fundamental "shamelessly." Adverbs rain on one's ears -- conspicuous, distracting, and irritating. Koontz would do well to take time to revise and eliminate adverbs; his publishers will wait. Read or listen to the book for an entertaining escape (though one redeeming and almost overriding aspect of the audio is Szarabajka's reading -- truly masterful. What a voice!)

Summary: fear nothing
Review: The book was not bad all. Christopher Snow (its charachter) seems to be a geneous. Its hard to believe hes so smart and cool in situations hes never been in. Almost the mind of a cop wich he is not. A respectable character. I loved Orson. Hed be a great dog to have. I was very intrigued by what was happening to him. Who was messing with him? And why? There was more suspense than action. I would have liked for him to show off his fighting skills he speaks about. His best friend is TOO relaxed. No one would just be chillin after they heard news like Chris told him. I hope Sieze the Night will bring more twists and more action.
