The Vision

Rating:
Summary: wonderful, clever, awsome reading
Review: I loved this authur since the first time that I picked up his books. This is the best of the collection. I could not put it down, I finished it in just 2 days. I was hanging on the edge of my seat the hole way thought. I didn't know untill the very end who or what the source of the terror was. I have to read another because they just keep getting better. Thank goodness that there is someone to hold my attention long enough to finish a book. I am always surprised that I have finished the book so soon. Please keep them coming.Thank you so much for the hours of pleasure

Summary: Spine tingling, got me from the first page
Review: I loved this book. I was captured in it from the first page. The ending was a little disappointing but the rest of the book rules! I'm only thirteen but I love Dean Koontz's novels and this was personally one of my favorites.

Summary: this book was too predictable
Review: I read 2 chapters of this book and knew who committed all the murders. I was so dissapointed that I put the book down and didn't finish it. I am a HUGE Dean Koontz fan and I own almost every one of his books(With the exception of some of the hard to find ones) This is one of only two books that I was dissapointed in by Mr. Koontz. I don't think there is a better author out there. than him.

Summary: The book that got me hooked on Koontz
Review: I read this short book when I was 14 years old and have been a Koontz fan for half my life now. This is a definitely twisted tale which gave me a thirst for more Koontz novels. Koontz has a way of setting the scene and making his readers a part of it; not to mention his ability to create highly likeable characters that this reader enjoys associating with. This talent is not lost on this novel. All-in-all this is a great book for your Koontz collection or for a first Koontz read.

Summary: The Vision
Review: I thought The Vision was one of Koontz better books. It was suspenseful and kept me reading until the very end. I do believe that Koontz needs to be more original in his stories. The seem to just about always be set it the same place. I didn't like the bat rape scene in this book. What kind of thing is that to write about anyway. I hope I didn't give to much about the book away.

Summary: The Best I've Read!!!
Review: I've read 7 books written by Koontz and this is the best so far. I've never considered writing an online review before but after reading this book I just had to for the first time. This book keeps you hooked from the first word to the last. Once you think you have things figured out BAM!! thers's a twist to the plot. This happens quite a few times in the story. Koontz is an great storyteller. My favorite author. All the other books I've read are good but "The Vision" is GREAT!!!

Summary: Has Its Moments
Review: In this slim novel, originally written in the late 1970s, many of the standard elements of Koontz's better work appear: psychic ability, a romantic element, gripping prose. However -- and maybe this is because I have read several other, recent novels -- I found this one predictable. The story revolves around psychic Mary Bergen's vision of several murders that seem to have familiar victims (although she can't nail down why the victims are familiar to her). She is also torn between loyalty to her brother, Alan, and her new husband, Max, who don't get along. The setting is the Christmas season, and this provides the right weather conditions -- rain and cold -- and the right contrast -- happy season v. grisly murders -- to keep the reader's interest to see what will happen next. Unfortunately -- at least for me -- I pretty much guessed 'whodunit' in the beginning, so although I doubted myself a couple of times (kudos to Koontz), I enjoyed the 'why' more than the 'who'. The end is gripping, and the fate of the core characters is up in the air. Good, but not his best.

Summary: might make a nice movie someday
Review: ive read this book more times than ive read any other book on my shelves, and every time i start it i only take breaks to use the bathroom and sometimes to sleep. this was my first encounter with dean koontz but not my last, and i find that im very disappointed with some of his other books. (like Sole Survivor - yuck!) The Vision proves to be his only work that i can stomach, and even then there's a part in the ending that makes me sick. (in a good way. ;)
murder, psychic premonitions, a wild goose chase.... everything seems to add up in this entertaining page-turner.

Summary: Captivates you!
Review: Loved this book. Though through the whole book I just knew who the person after her was... yet I found out I really didn't know.
