Summary: The Best Koontz
Review: This is the best Dean R. Koontz book I have read. The suspense was thrilling! I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants an excellent read with lots of twists and turns. I loved this book so much that when I found a movie was made of it I ran out and got it. Not recommended. As usual, the book is the best!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I expected so much more
Review: This was my first DK book i ever read. i am a huge fan of C. Pike and was expecting so much more, this wasnt even a horror story it was more of a crime story thats has a psychotic with an unusual past. And a lot of it was easy to figure out anyways, ill try reading some others of his, and maybe theyll be better, it was a fast and easy read so i got done with it fast, that was the only great thing about it!!! If you want a REAL horror story try THE SEASON OF PASSAGE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book ROCKS!
Review: I find it hard to just sit down and read and read .... and well read. I have to well it rarly happens so i can't explain it. I was a bit bored so i looked through my Mom's books and saw this. It looked interesting enough but once i started reading it i coulden't stop i read 200 pages in two days and then still coulden't put it down. I fiished reading it about 30 minutes ago. When i read the last words i just sat back in the colorful deck chair I was sitting and and said aloud.. wow. <<smile>> I highly recomend this book. This was the first Dean koontz book I have read, witch is understandable because i am only fifteen. I plan on reading as meny of his books as possable. It is great to sit out in the sun and read. Well i suggest that everyone reads this book it wad great trying to figure everything out what was happening and who would live or fall victum. I love his style of writing. And you were not sure if He really came back to life or if there ! was some explanition for it all. Well to find out if there was one or he was a walking zombie read the book. It was amazing to find out what those wisperings were and the crawling things were. It just makes you want to shudder and flail around as bruno did. It was just a great book you can't explain it all. so * * read it * * <<smile>>

Summary: GAVE ME CHILLS
Review: This book was the first one I ever read by Dean Koontz. It turned me into a major Koontz fan. This was an incredible book. It was freaky because what happened can happen to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very scary
Review: I must admit that I saw the movie first because it had Jean LeClerc in it and I am a great fan of his. Of course the book version has more details than the movie and it was such "chilling" details. Definitely not the kind of story one would want to read at home alone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book made me what I am today, His BIGEST fan.
Review: I read this book over a dozen years ago. It is still my favorite book. It had everything I was hopeing for in a horror story and even more. (humor and surprises) Everyone should read it if they want a book that you can't put down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Violent and satisfying
Review: This is the first book by Dean Koontz that I read, and even after finishing INTENSITY, MR. MURDER, HIDEAWAY, and THE EYES OF DARKNESS, it still ranks as my favorite. I am a bit of a skeptic when I read book reviews raving that the book is "chilling" or "spine-tingling," but I can honestly claim that WHISPERS was both those things and more.

The reason I appreciated WHISPERS so much is because of the incredibly well-crafted plot. As a mystery fan, I really enjoy reading a book that gives you an impossibly baffling plot twist and finally wraps up the entire story at the very end, tying up all the loose ends. Koontz shows himself to be not only a master storyteller but a super plotter. At first glance, this book may seem like another cheap, come-back-from-the-dead serial killer novel, but at the end, everything is explained logically and realistically, which makes it all the more shocking. But it isn't just the plot; there are genuinely horrifying moments and the climax is both suspenseful and disturbing. One of those books that makes you sit back after reading the last sentence and say, "Wow."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Masterfully written
Review: This was my very first Koontz book. It was so well written. It could actually happen without the supernatural twist that have appeared in most books recently. If you have not read it; it's a must!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a doosie!!
Review: Whispers.... even the mention of the name gives me shivers and goosebumps. A really great book, with the right amount of horror, and a splash of EWWWWW to top it off. One of my first Koontz books - always will be one of my favorites (right behind Watchers and Strangers).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring.
Review: I am a huge Dean Koontz fan, but, I have to ask, did Dean really write this? I found it to be very far removed from his usual writing. It was a very slow read and had pointless pages of useless information and nonsense. The last half of the book rolled a little easier, but I think that the ending finished a little abruptly (I think that he was in a hurry to finish it up). It was a good story, in general, but it could've been summed up in about 50 pages. It just didn't roll like Cold Fire or Dark Rivers of the Heart.
