Summary: A Little Disappointing and Predictable
Review: After being sexually assaulted and nearly killed 24 years ago when she was only 6 at the time, Mary Bergen was left with the psychic ability to foresee similar crimes committed on other people. For years, she has used her clairvoyance to help solve these types of murders otherwise considered "dead ends" by the police. While currently working in Los Angeles regarding a serial killer who has killed seven times so far, Mary begins to believe the tormentor from her past has returned to finally kill her. Mary must force herself to remember exactly what happened when she was a child, because by identifying her attacker, she'll also be able to discover the horrible connection between the recent brutal killings and her troubled past.I thought "The Vision" was a little disappointing and predictable, mainly because I had already guessed the bad guy about halfway into it, but this book is short and ideal if you're just starting to read anything by Dean Koontz--it's just over 200 pages (hardcover edition; the paperback edition is 300+ pages) and relatively quick and easy to read. There is some offensive material, but nothing too horribly graphic that will make you retch.

Summary: If your looking for suspense, thrills and twists this is it!
Review: All I could say after reading this book is "I CAN'T BELIVE ? is the killer!". This book was so suspenseful, I read it in a 3 hour sitting. It is a smooth easy short read. If you have a little extra time on your hands, don't make a mistake and read another book...READ THIS ONE!

Summary: A Little Disappointing and Predictable
Review: Brisk, easy, satisfying early Koontz thriller, that suffers only from stuffing too much paranormal phenomena into too few pages. It's a little over-the-top at spots, but it's a cleverly plotted murder mystery, sleek and fast. A gifted psychic assists local police in tracking down serial killers. After one is shot dead, his spirit seems to be living on in someone else. Or is it? The psychic is suddenly plagued by odd paranormal goings-on, that may be the work of some kind of diabolical ghost, another psychic, or perhaps even herself. Sorting it all out is the fun of the book. Anyone into psyhic research will especially have a good time with this one. Koontz discusses psychic detectives and phenomena with a pretty good degree of accuracy. He even has an inside joke or two, in the book's pages. The deceased serial killer is named "Lingard," and the psychic studies an occult book by Colin Wilson - one of Wilson's early novels, about a sex-killer, was named Lingard. Not Koontz's best, but well worth the couple of hours you'll kill reading it.

Summary: Psyqic superstisiousness.
Review: Excitement of the best writer ever, Dean R. Koontz. Again he writes a book, which can hold you sitting still, reading, for several hours. At a time the woman in the book gets scared. I got very scared too, I must admit. The best part is the end, where the bad one in the book turns out to be a good friend like a real Agatha Christie og Connan Doyle book. Morten Barklund, 15.

Summary: a worthwhile read but not Koontz's best
Review: I found this book to be fairly mediocure in the main, however, some parts (towards the end In particular) made it worthwhile reading. The story revolves around Mary Bergen, a clairvoyent who has a visions so terrifying she blocks them out before she can find out their true meaning. It is then assumed these visions could actually be of her own death. Throughout the book koontz leaves many clues to who this potential killer may be, many of them misleading. So basically It ends with you trying to figure out who the bad guy could possibly be. Although I was tricked into thinking it was the wrong guy the eventual conclusion is fairly obvious(that is unless you are stupid like me). I would certainly reccommend this book but it is one of Dean's earliest and personally I have enjoyed the books he has written over more recent years such as; Fear Nothing, Intensity and Strange Highways etc...

Summary: Great! Gruesome and Weirded Out !
Review: I have liked just about all of Dean's books and this one was no different. I have to put it right at the top along with the Funhouse. That has been my favorite. I like the weird ones, the ones that keep you guessing. This was real suspensful and kept you wanting more!!!! A must Read, if you love Koontz!

Summary: IF you want suspense, The Vision has got it!
Review: I just finished reading the book the vision and I would honestly have to say it is my all time favorite. The Mystery keeps you going and I can read for hours with this book! Dean Koontz always likes to write mystery books and is good at it, but I think he's got a winner. I recommend this book to anyone you has a thirst for mystery and suspense, I garuntee that you will be on the edge of your seat!
