The Door to December

Rating:
Summary: My least favorite Dean Koontz book to date.
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. DK is my favorite author and this book was recommended to me as a "must read". However, I felt it drudged on and on and I had to force myself to keep reading to the end. It really just bored me and I could not get into the characters or the story. Not recommended. For a good DK read try Intensity, Midnight or Hideaway.

Summary: SUSPENSE!
Review: This book will have you at the end of your seat trying to figure out what really happened to the main character. You will not be disappointed, by the master of suspenses tale of the paranormal and suspense. This book will make you wonder and keep you guessing. Good Buy!

Summary: This book is one of Dean Koont's best novels!brilliant!
Review: I love Dean Koontz! He knows how to thrill, scare, and make fun all at the same time! If you liked this read The Vision of the night and The Key to Midnight, as well as Whispers! Awesome, brilliant, and full of suspense! (I feel like a newspaper!)

Summary: This was one of the best books that I have ever read
Review: This was the first book by Dean Koontz that I have ever read. I thought it was outstanding and cool. This book was about a character Laura, who is trying to find her daughter, Melanie. Melanie was taken by her father and experimented on. This book had a lot of action in it. There were murders, chases, and more. Dean Koontz really knows how to keep you on your feet. This book proves that.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I'm a fan of Dean Koontz, but this is definitely not one of his better works. The dialogue is artificial and hokey, and I actually found myself rolling my eyes during Dan's conversations with his colleagues. The story was predictable and slow. I usually pass good books on to friends and family, but I am not recommending this one to anyone I know. Don't give up on Dean Koontz if this is the first book you've read by him. Read The Bad Place, it is absolutely fascinating. Also recommended: Midnight and Lightning. I guess you can't win them all. Pass this one up and read his other books instead.

Summary: One of the author's best!
Review: The Door to December kept me enthralled throughout. The characterization was excellent, and the story line was exciting. I also enjoyed the typical Koontz wit which was threaded into the dialogue. Books like this are so intense that it's hard to move on to a tamer genre after finishing it.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Anyone who has given this novel less than four stars need serious psychological help. Anything less than that would indicate a serious lack of imagination on the readers behalf. All I can say is that this novel, as with all Dean's others, was intensely gripping from the onset. Any sub-par reviews posted on this page about 'The Door to December' must have been written by those unfortunate souls who lack sufficient mental capacity to allow themselves to become fully engulfed by this book. I actually feel sorry for them.

Rating:
Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This was the first Koontz book that I have read. Actually i just finished reading it for the second time, and again I found myself not being able to put it down. It was full of great suspense on a weird subject. I thought the tie-ins between mind controlling experiments and politicians was almost prophetic. Dan is a great character, very untypical of a what you think a California detective should be. The only part of the book that let me down was the ending. Otherwise a great book and a must read

Rating:
Summary: My second fav. after Intensity
Review: This was an extremely good book and it was so hard to put down! Very suspensfull and intriging. I stayed up into the late hours trying to finish it, the door to december is a great book to read if you liked Firestarter, by Stephen King.
