Rating: Summary: TO DRAWN OUT Review: I loved the begging of this book but after I while I noticed that people started to repeat themselves and it started to get to repetative for my tastes. I would say see the movie but the movie was just as bad actually it was worst. Still this book was OK and I think you need patience to get all the way through.
Rating: Summary: Don't watch the movie--Read the book!!! Review: "Phantoms" is the SCARIEST Dean Koontz book---it scared me! Very creepy, you don't know what is killing off all these people. I read it in broad daylight in the middle of a Texas summer, and I got chills. Very imaginitive. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Spectacular! Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. It was full of suspence and never a dull page. I could not put it down, and got very little work done because of it; but well worth it.The only bad thing about this novel was, it ended.
Rating: Summary: Dean Koontz is brilliant!! Review: One of my favorites, this book scared the Hell out of me and rocked me like very few books have. An outstanding thriller!! A classic!!
Rating: Summary: Realistic and Frightning Review: I am usually afraid of big books (Over 200 pages), but I was totally hooked on this one. Wether you are an adult or a teen, this book will get you hooked. It's mix of realistic elements spiced up by horror, makes me wonder if all big books are this big.
Rating: Summary: A pull the covers up and close your eyes read Review: This is absolutely one of Koontz best. It grabs the reader from the very first page and the suspense continues to build all the way to the end of the story. Be prepared to spend all of your spare time with your nose buried in the book until the last page, it is a "can't put it down" read.
Rating: Summary: Now darkness has form, and devours body and soul. Review: I like suspense, and this book is full of it. I do not appreciate, however, gratuitous sexual writing, which seems to be vintage Koontz, at least in his earliest writing. That is why I only give this book 3 stars. However, it is a psychological roller coaster, and the thrills don't end till the last page. It is a good, fast read for those that like an action-packed yet intelligent plot. Highly recommended, but not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, by any means.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME Review: this book is a Koontz classic with all the trimmings of a clssic horror story..this is some of the best in the field.If you are a King or Koontz fan you will devouer this book.
Rating: Summary: The scariest novel of all time Review: Phantoms is definitely horror in the meaning of the word. There is not a moment when you want to put the book down. There was a movie made from this book. It's good but it's only problem is that it's too short. I very highly recommend you read the book and watch the movie.
Rating: Summary: Generic horror. Review: Stock characters and monsters fill this story of a town that has suffered a mysterious and complete disappearance of all it's inhabitants. The first half or so builds up interest, but the rest is by the numbers. Worse is Koontz' tedious writing style, the way he has to not only explicitly spell out every last detail of what is happening (either in action or in the characters' thoughts), but he has to then beat the concepts into the readers' heads. PHANTOMS might be okay beach or travel reading, but I can't recommend it any other way at all.
