Summary: Great buildup and then it falls flat
Review: I enjoyed the book until the ending. That was the one of the most disappointing endings to a book I have ever read. However, I guess every book of his isn't going to be fantastic. I thought the main theme of this book was very interesting, and the standard man and woman who fight the villain together and also become romantically involved (or at least attracted) is not a problem for me. Even though it's in every one of his books, it's also in most action movies and TV series (for example "The Outer Limits"). It's something that writers seem to think is necessary to appeal to the widest audience, to have a male and female protagonist. This book isn't one of his best--try "Servants of the Twilight", "Midnight", or "Mr. Murder".

Summary: My first...and one of my most favorite...Dean Koontz novels
Review: I first read this as a 13-year old in Catholic school. I have absolutely no idea how it got into the library at St. Michael's in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but it was there. And it changed my reading patterns and habits for all time. I think this book was the segue into adult books for me. Koontz' prose style, detailed yet concise, has changed little over the years since this book came out. The ending, totally unexpected, was perfect. The main characters and their ordeal and flight from the antagonist, rappelling down the side of a building in a blizzard in New York, was a stroke of masterpiece. Koontz has improved as a writer in all these years, yet I think this one still stands the test of time. I actually re-read it four years ago while trapped at Kennedy Airport in New York in a blizzard and talk about scary...I could actually picture it happening to me. An excellent book...highly recommended!

Summary: My thought on the book.....Clarence Carlson
Review: I have read many Dean Koontz books. I feel that the face of fear is a excellent atribute to the works Koontz can achieve. Althought the book kicked my ass, I feel that I had to high of expectations for it. Its not that I was dissapointed, because I wasn't. I just had my hopes to high. I also thought that the way Dwight had died was kinda corny. The wholes snowblower thing was kinda coincidental. The book was very supenseful and fulfilling. But I am happy to say that I knew who the other killer was before I read it. Altogether the book was excellent. He tied everybit of the story, perfectly together

Summary: wonderful as usual
Review: I just finished reading the book and was spellbound at the end. Parts of it left you wondering who was who. A definite must-read for Dean Koontz enthusiasts.

Summary: Intense, Scary if you're a woman!
Review: I personally thought this was a scary book, that I would not have read if I knew about it more. It scared me because the main character, "The Butcher," was a rapist who killed many woman. It was scary and kind of disgusting to hear about these women being raped, and it felt as if you were there, watching it in person. It makes you want to cry, it's so intense. - But you do hear about a couple, Graham and Connie, who barely survived, because of the Butcher and his evil gun. The only part I enjoyed was when you hear about Ira Preduski, the detective, who seemed to be so nice and caring towards these people. He was kind and warm hearted. He made the day. - So, if you are looking for a more scary, thriller book, check into this one. If you are like me, then STAY AWAY!

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I read this book at my cottage this summer, and I couldn't put it down. I found it to be fast paced and it had a nice flow from chapter to chapter. "Face of Fear" is definately on my favourites list.

Summary: Suspenseful
Review: I read this book quite some time ago and I remember as being quite impressed with it at the time. It is about a man who is phychic and sees in his mind the crimes of a serial killer then one night he is stalked by the serial killer in a high rise buliding he gets trapped so he has to use his mountaineering skills to get out of there the kicker is he had a mountian climbing accident that made him fear heights. Great book keeps the pages turning until the end.

Summary: Koontz actually wrote this?
Review: I tell ya, after reading Twilight Eyes and Seize the Night, I was in love with Koontz. I read this book next, and I honestly do not believe Koontz wrote this. It seems as if this book was written for a much younger audience than his other books, and the plot is basically pieced together from other far superior books. About 1/4 of the way through this book, i really was thinking about just quitting, but i kept reading, hoping for that major plot twist or ubelievable ending. Sadly, the last half of the book is just as boring as the first. I was hugely disappointed in this book. You want a good Koontz book, read Twilight Eyes. And buy this book for your ten year old son or daughter.

Summary: A GREAT Cat and Mouse chase thriller...
Review: If I didn't know any better I would think Dean Koontz was one SICK PUPPY!! He writes like Dick Laymon does, except he's a little less gory and sexual, but U can't tell here!! Koontz and Laymon are similar in style, but Koontz writes a little more than Laymon, who is simple and straight-forward.Koontz and Laymon (was) are two normal (?) guys who have a creative imagination and license to express their outrage and thoughts about society-at-large!! This story is just sheer brilliance and I won't say much except u need to buy this book if u like real-life terror!!!
