Review: Servants of Twilight had to be one of the best Koontz's books out there...for the people who gave 1 star, they could not have been reading the same book I did. This was an epic horror tale about a mother and her child running away from "The mean old witch" it is very interesting..and chilling.

Summary: Terrible, boring, totally stupid read
Review: There is just nothing good in this book. I thought I was seeing things when I saw most people giving this book five stars...but this book just boring, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, boring of a book. People also say that this is so "scaring" and "chilling" because it could happen in real life, but it's not scary at all, for reasons I can't even explain because the book was so boring to me. This could have been a great book, the original storyline looked great, which was the reason I picked the book up. THis COULD be a good book, but instead of making it a horror book of any kind, Koontz made this into a 400-page boring book which only featured three people running acros California (I wish Koontz would think of more places for settings of his books) and a little boy going into trances. This is NOT horror, but barely mystery. This should not even be classified as a book. Don't get me wrong, I do like Dean Koontz, but this book is just an insult to his name, no wonder he originally released it under a pen-name. This book does not even deserve a 1 star rating. Bottom line: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK

Summary: Very Kewl! :)
Review: This was the first horror book that I have read in along time. And I must say "It is good to be back." The novel keeps you going, always wondering what's around the next corner. I love the characters Christine is a very strong character, she is to be much admired. Joey is a typical little boy, but you really wonder, could he be evil? And Detective Harrison is a good hero, he always seems to get Christine and Joey from point A to point B. I found the book very scary, not supernatural wise. But knowing what they felt like, being hunted. I couldn't put the novel down I read it within 3 days. I also watched the movie, which I do not recommend. This is also the first Dean R. Koontz book I have ever read, and I am also very impressed.

Summary: A Captivating Read
Review: I am a huge Dean Koontz fan, and I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the books I have read of his, but I thought this one stood out among them. In all of Koontz's books that I have read, I have found myself saying "Yeah right, this is ridiculous and could never happen". Even in my personal favorite Koontz novel, Lightning, i found many things unbelievable. But in The Servants of Twilight, Dean Koontz crafts a believable AND enjoyable storyline. Christine Scavello has a young son, Joey, who is an exceptional little boy who is very well behaved, and never gets into trouble. That is until one day, after a routine trip to the supermarket, a crazed old woman begins following Joey, believing that he is the Antichrist. At first this sounds insane, but then you realize that religious cults can indeed be as crazy as this particular villain, Grace Spivey. Christine hires a PI, Charlie, to help her escape the looney woman, and as in all other Koontz novels, they fall in love. It's very interesting to see the story unfold from all angles. You see the book from the point of view of the villain and the victims, so it is much more interesting. The book has many twists and turns to bring you to the end, and believe me, it's worth it. I highly recommend this book to any Koontz fan!

Summary: One of his best by far
Review: There aren't many books that can stand up to this one. At risk of using a cheap metaphore, it really is a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. You never know whats going to happen next, fast paced, and the end has a rather unbelievable twist. If you saw the movie then you must read the book, because the movie di not do this book justice at all. The book is about a small boy who's mother and a certain police officer who the mother falls in love with, have to keep him safe from a woman who's trying to kill him thinking he's the anti-christ. No matter where they run, no matter where they hide, the woman and her followers find them and kill anyone who tries to get in their way. This was one of those few books that I just couldn't put down from start to finish, it's that good.

Summary: The Anti-Christ
Review: The Servants of Twilight are a secret religious cult under the leadership of Grace Spivey- an aged woman who believes she sees visions directly from God. Soon this crazed woman comes to believe that Joey, a 6 year old boy, is the Anti-Christ and if not stopped will unleash terror on earth for a thousand years. And so begins the hunt! Christine, the concerned mother hires Charlie, a Private Detective, and soon he assumes the role of a dedicated bodygaurd. Koontz plays with the reader and there are even hints that Joey indeed may be the "Anti-Christ" and the Religious Fanatics may be doing good to mankind. However, Grace Spivey is such a pathetic and ice-cold character that we don't care for her cause. I would have loved if the ending was more powerful and delivered that ruthless 'play dirty' style action, rather than having Charlie reduced to a bundle of nerves thanks to his wounds. But, nevertheless, it is a fairly decent novel to read, has it's share of action and maintains interest- but tends to drag on at some points.

Summary: Truly exquisite!!
Review: Wow, this was an AMAZING book! It's really hard to find a book that you can't put down no matter what, and this one falls under that category. Excellent job!!

Summary: High suspense, couldn't put it down!
Review: This was my first Koontz book and wasn't sure of the writing style at first, but within 15-20 pages I was hooked until the end. Very suspenseful and very fast-paced, the book leaves several questions in the readers mind at the end, but it works for the better. Read the book, but do NOT see the movie (P.U.) I will be reading more Koontz novels!

Summary: Sad Book to read
Review: To tell the truth, this was my first read book by Dean Knootz and I have been hooked ever since. This book was sad because of the little boy and his mother trying to fight off evil, along with the man who tryed to help them. In the movie, it was even sadder because when you think the boy and man are going to live, the little boy turns out to be evil anyway and the man ends up dying. This was the saddest I think of all this books. Yet, I will continue to read my favoritate author (amongst other) and enjoy every one.

Summary: garbage
Review: Dean Koontz has written some excellent books, "Lightning" being the best he has done. Because I read "Lightning" first, and I know other people who have read other Dean Koontz books, I assumed that "Servants of Twilight" would be at least mediocre. I must say, that this was absolutely the worst book I have ever read. The only reason I read it to the end is because I kept hoping that at leaset the ending would be good. (it wasn't). If you think the book is bad, then see the movie. If it was possible for a book to have B.O., then this would be the book to have it.
