Summary: A Great Fire
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A weakness in some of Koontz's books has been his lack of character development. This time he hits gold with his two main characters. They are very well-rounded characters. The hero is incredibly brave and sexy and yet he is quite vulnerable. The woman is his perfect match. The chemistry between these two is the primary reason I enjoyed this book. The plot is exceptional. Better than I expected. I enjoyed trying to find out why the hero is able to save others. The ending was satisfying. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys romance, suspense and horror.

Summary: The review of Cold Fire
Review: This book was a very good book. I liked it a lot because this man had a power to rescue people before they would die. He saved so many people lives, and there was this lady that was looking to find him to find out how he new when people were about to die. I would recommend reading this book because it was very intense and there was good details in this book. This man goes to a lot of places to save lives and i like this book a lot.

Summary: Psychological Thriller!
Review: This was one of Dean Koontz's better books that I have read! There are several reasons for that. 1. There are NO talking or ESP-possessing dogs in this novel. 2. People do not speak in goofy alliteration, monosyllabic utterances, or surfer lingo. 3. It is a quick read with a lot of fast-paced action and very little descriptive nonsense in it. 4. It is a psychological thriller with an unexpected twist. Parts of this novel are predictable, if you've read a lot of Koontz novels before; however, I was pleased with the book on the whole. It made for some suspenseful reading and it was very enjoyable. An oldie, but a goodie!

Summary: Excellent
Review: Pure and simple- excellent. This is one of those books that once the author finishes with the last line, he KNOWS he's got a best-seller. You have a man with a power, to see the future, only he doesn't really have complete control over it. An image will come to him of a child being killed, or of a devastating accident, always with mere minutes to spare in saving their lives. Theres even a bit of a story behind the windmill by the pond on the cover of the book. I'd love to share more, but in the interest of NOT ruining the story for you, I'll let you go ahead and read it for yourselves.

Summary: Morbidity, Frozen Steel, Dark Rage, Cold Fire
Review: Dean Koontz's hard work has definitely paid off with his gripping novel Cold Fire. As is common with many of Koontz's novels, the setting is constantly moving. Jim Ironheart is a masterful character whose realism brings him to life! Ironheart, driven by God, has special abilities that enable him to arrive at the scene of an accident before it occurs, therefore miraculously saving the lives of the "would be" victims. Holly Thorne, a free-lance reporter who is looking for a purpose in her life, witnesses one of Ironheart's heroic rescue and her heart and attention are immediately captivated by his selflessness. She encounters him for a brief moment and then they both go their separate ways. Within the lapse of 24 hours, Holly realizes how intrigued she is by Jim's intellect and heroism. She decides to pursue him while he goes on his adventures. As Thorne progresses through the novel, she becomes infatuated with Ironheart and his extraordinary powers, while he is undergoing the most important fight of his life, a psychological battle with his past. It is not until the ending that you figure out what is happening with Jim Ironheart. The only part of the entire novel that I found disappointing and shocking was the finale. It was not what I had expected or hoped for, but overall this book was exceptionally well written. I highly recommend it to any of you adventurers or amateur psychologists out there.

Summary: lucky find
Review: While visiting a book shop back in the eighties here in Australia I stumbled across Dean Koontz while searching the Stephen King's. I did what we are told not to do and bought this book because of the cover. I read it cover to cover in two days and loved every moment of it. A superbly suspenseful novel mixing in elements of science fiction. A relatively thick book but somehow Koontz can keep you flipping pages without dead or slow passages. I have since read all of his work on the back of reading this one novel. Still it remains one of my favourites purely because of the seamless blend of science fiction, horror and suspense. Anyone staring at those big letters, "DEAN KOONTZ", on the jacket of novels but not sure if they should spend their hard earned money, my advice would be go for it but be prepared to return for more titles

Summary: It is some imagination...
Review: Well, I try to read as much Dean Koontz as possible and he is my favorite writer. On this book, I think he pushed the imagination too far. Except that, the book is just great. I couldn't even take a break while reading it. One part leads to another. Thoughtfully written and the story is well structured.

Summary: What Hideaway wasn't
Review: When I reviewed "Hideaway" here I pointed out that the reviews claimed he tackled themes worthy of CS Lewis. Well, said I, Hideaway was really garbage, which is something CS Lewis only tackled when he put it out on the curb. What I wasn't saying was that Koontz was incapable of such depth. I think this book does a good job of exploring thematic issues--What is Capital T Truth? Should we question the unknown? Don't get me wrong. It's not a philosophy book. It's a cool book about a guy who hears voices in his head, and then he realizes that if he listens to them IT HELPS PEOPLE. Although sometimes it's some pretty bizzare stuff. Cold Fire is a better example of Koontz's hard-and-fast rules about good and evil that turned me on to him and away from King.

Summary: HMMMMM...
Review: To me, the story starts out like the TV show "The Pretender"...it was gripping and a great read until somewhere near the end where it gets silly, with all the insects and stuff. It is still a great read, and if your a fan of Koontz's, by all means read! His better stuff include Eyes of Darkness and Mr. Murder, in my opinion! --Phoenix King
