Summary: Pretty Good Read!
Review: This was the 2nd Dean Kooontz novel that I have read.I would of given this book 5 stars but it didn't scare me like Mr. Murder. I could predict what was going to happen. I think that Mr. Murder was a lot better. I have just started to read Shadow Fires. Lets see how good it is.

Summary: First book of Koontz I have read, I say: VERY GOOD
Review: This is first book of Dean R. Koontz. From the first pages I noticed that Dean is well-writing guy. I even would put him at the Stephen King's level. Still he never will be better that King. Today I bought Fear Nothing, let's see what kinda book is that. Praise for Koontz: this guy is extremely good at pshychology. Hope he will join my favourite writers.

Summary: Interesting, but over-rated
Review: This book differs from Dean Koontz's previous work in that the plot ceases from jumping from one scene and character to another for around two hundred pages until all the characters meet up. To my mind this is one of the most positive aspects of the novel and a reason for choosing it over his other books. His novels in the past seem to repeatedly use this tired template and simply inject a new carbon-copy protagonist, a dog or a new supernatural theme. The plot was certainly compelling and I enjoyed the psychological twists, though I just couldn't believe that the characters were so young; surely Dean Koontz should have realised that such depth of actions and conversation were more attributable to late-teens? Another criticism would have to be the ludicrous title. A short mention of the protagonist's fear of the dark was all the author felt necessary to base it on and it appeared to come almost as an after-thought. I wondered if the author had implied a deeper meaning, maybe concerning the chase scene in the field of rusting cars, but this seems doubtful. I enjoyed reading Voice of the Night and it is by no means a poor suspense thriller. However, it is no classic and certainly does not deserve the unconditional praise lavished on it by many reviewers on this page.

Summary: Scary, psychological, chilling, and realistic. An eye opener
Review: It's unfortunate that I could not put 20 stars down- that's what it deserves for being such an amazing novel. I first read this book 3 years ago and still pick it up and look at it (skim the pages and read my favorite parts) almost everyday. Although this book's premise does not fit my definition of "horror," it is still scary because it could actually happen and and because Koontz is able to get you to feel for both the characters (near the end of the book I was relatively empathetic to Roy because of some issues he had and still has) and therefore it makes the prospect of something happening to them (for the most part it's Colin you worry about) daunting. It's an incredibly exciting book, with action and subtle clues of the suspense that is to come and it also has psychological elements to it that also interest me because I am fascinated by psychology and such things. I love this book! It's one of my favorites and my favorite of his. Feel free to email me to talk about the book, any of his other books (or other authors and their books) or anything in general.

Summary: Awesome work Mr Koontz
Review: This book is very well written. The plot and setting are all excellent. The characters interacted very well. I couldn't stop before finishing it. It was filled with suspense. The ending was what it needed. If you are a thriller fan or a Dean Koontz fan stop wasting time and go read it.

Summary: The Voice Of The Night
Review: This book was about two middle school age friends who, during their summer vacation on the beaches of California, these two boys went through events and tests to try to get one to get rid of his model kits and vampire books to help him to become more cool. During this summer, Colin, a son of a single mother, and Roy, who is self-confident, outgoing and popular, hung out and stayed out late with each other. But, through all this, Colin felt that Roy was keeping a secret from him. All the stories Roy told to Colin all seemed like a test to see if Colin was worthy of the secret he held. Is Colin worthy of the secret and able to do what ever to keep Roy as his best friend? This book, along with all the other Dean R. Koontz books is a real thriller. This book is full of action. The characters are very interesting and the plot is also very suspensful. I recommend this book to all suspense thriller fans.

Summary: This book is a must read for horror readers!
Review: This is probly one of the best books I have ever read. Although the name is misleading it gets right to the point. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It has action and horror and the best story. You become atached to the charictors and belive they are real. I recomend this book for anyone who like horror. But no one under 12 should read it.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This book was wonderful. This was my first Koontz book so far and it was great. I am only 13 and I enjoyed it just as much as my dad. If you are a Koontz fan and haven't read this one yet, I suggest you do.
