Summary: Decent, Simple Thriller
Review: Mere days ago I slammed Mr. Koontz for his horrible novel Demon Seed. From it one would (and probably should) get the sense that I was unwilling to give Koontz another chance. But I'm forgiving and often a glutton for punishment so I picked up The Vision. And I was not, for once, overly disappointed by Koontz.The story itself is not unconventional or overly imaginative - a psychic who helps police capture serial killers gets caught up in a little danger and mystery of her own. It is, however, well written and the characters are well developed and likable. Despite the fact that Koontz tries to convince readers otherwise, it's pretty obvious who the "bad guy" is, the novel is no less thrilling. Its not excellent but its certainly better than some other novels by Koontz.

Summary: Review of The Vision
Review: The Vision by Dean Koontz is a suspense thriller. Those who like Dean Koontz will probably enjoy this book. Although if you haven't read any of Dean Koontz's, like I hadn't, don't make this your first. It's the story of a woman who can see visions of murders before they happen. After help solving a crime she sees, and feels another vision that she knows will change her life. Now it's up to herself and her husband to stop the killer before he finds her. There are rules most authors have to try and throw a reader off from knowing how th book ends. By following these rules Dean Koontz practically gives away the ending. To sum up this book it would be that it's too predictable.

Summary: A Great Read
Review: The Vision reminded me a lot of my first Koontz read,
Whispers. The main character has visions of murders
before they happen. She is called on to help the police
but before long the visions take a personal turn. In
Whispers, we have the eerie whispers that torment the
bad guy. The main character in this story has her own
torment. I won't say anymore and ruin it. Koontz kept
the suspense high and me turning pages to find out
who the murderer was. Though this plot line of psychics helping the police is done quite a bit now, back when
The Vision was written I don't think it was. Even if it
was, it wasn't done like Koontz does it.

Summary: Shocking
Review: They say that honesty is the best policy, and going by that age old adage, this review has to be published. 'The Vision' put simply, is simply not good. Woman born, woman has accident, woman becomes clairvoyant, woman sees into mind of 'murderous feind'. Sound familiar? It should if you've read any of Dean Koontz other 'novels'. Koontz tries to cover his inhability to suspend the readers disbelief by bogging them down in gorey discriptions of death and depravity, completely forgetting to develop a plot along the way. Once again Koontz does what he does best - managing to produce yet another best selling novel with absolutely no story whatsoever, with the questions being - How and for how much longer?

Summary: A perfectly gruesome book for a rainy afternoon!
Review: This book completely took over my rainy afternoon and turned into a study in facinating mystery! The central character of this book is Mary Bergen, a sweet, sensitive, psychic. She endured a torture at the tender age of 6 that she can't remember. Through the physical and emotional trauma at that tender age, she developed psychic ability. She uses that psychic ability to help police solve homicide cases and find the killers. With her during these endeavors is her devoted brother Alan, always at her side, pained with concern over her. Also there is her tough, but tender husband, Max. Max is depicted as a tough character with eyes of cold steel that only show tenderness when he is with Mary. Of course Alan and Max don't get along, each hating the other. Soon a series of brutal murders begin to take place. Mary sees the crimes committed, can feel the pain of the young women who are murdered, but never manages to develop a vision of the killer's face. Soon, she knows, this killer is going to come after her. Can she solve this series of brutal crimes before she becomes the next victim? This story is well written but short enough to read in a single day. Koontz crafts characters that you genuinely care about, and some fearsome, evil chracters as well. None are comic book, stereotype characters, which makes them all the more believable. The story is so well told that it'll draw you in and keep you held in it's grip until the brutal end.
