Rating: Summary: A MESMERIZING DEAN KOONTZ BOOK!!! Review: The only novels that I have read by Mr. Dean Koontz are Shattered, The Eyes of Darkness, and Phantoms, and I just finished Servants of Twilight, which is easily his best book to date.I wanted to read the book because the movie based on it was available to rent just 5 minutes away, so I decided to give the book a try. Wow, is it great! What surprised me most was that Charlie, Christine, and Joey aren't just one-dimensional characters on the run from religious fanatics, but they're much more important, and I felt myself rooting for them ever so much toward the end. Even the relationship between Charlie and Christine seems somewhat real. The villian Grace Spivey is written with such detail that I had nightmares about what she possibly looked like, just like Charlie! The overall best thing about this book? It could REALLY happen. That's what makes it so frightening. The Servants of Twilight is a masterpiece of horror and suspense, and I can't wait to watch the movie based on the book later today. -Brian
Rating: Summary: It keeps you interested. Review: A very interesting book from my favorite author. I especially liked the fact that there were no weird, indestructable creatures in it, the characters were actually people. You should write more books along this line. I think the ending could have used a little more work, you left too much unresolved. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to reading more of your works in the future. I read everything you and S. King write!
Rating: Summary: es uno de los mejores libros que he leido, Review: Creo que Dean Koontz es el mejor escritor de libros de terror que he leido nunca, estoy leyendo todos sus libros y cada uno es una aventura diferente, cuesta dejar el libro a medias, espero que escriba muchos muchos libros mas.
Rating: Summary: Cool Review: This book is cool. It gets really great toward the end and it's adequately cool all throughout the book. If it gets kind of boring in the middle, don't worry: it's not very much, and it's essential to the plot anyway. You'll see. Oh, they did make a movie from this, by the way.
Rating: Summary: Lesser known Koontz book, but still a good read. Review: I thought this book was very good. There was action in it from the first couple pages to the last couple. It wasn't as much scary as suspenseful. This book is definetly worth the time to read.
Rating: Summary: Underrated Koontz book Review: One of his earlier works, and many don't know about it. Actually, the story is similar to what you might see on those cheesy cable channel police dramas. The characters are interesting and unique, and the book's short enough to read during a quiet weekend at home. Recommended, but it's not in Koontz's top 5.
Rating: Summary: Pretty damn good Review: I really injoyed this book. I had a hard time putting it down. My roomates couldn't understand why I would read a book instead of watching a show on t.v. It was excellent, very discriptive. This one would be cool to see as a movie.
Rating: Summary: A four out of five star book. Review: Read this book, one of the most gripping novels of Koontz. A mixture of romance and terror always hits the spot. The most detailed book I ever read. If you like horror you will be up all night reading this book.
Rating: Summary: Pretty good. If you're a fan, read this one. Review: While I enjoyed this book, I thought it could've been better. It has a great plot but I think he could have developed it a little more. And personally, I thought the ending was sort of a let down. It's not a waste of time, but it's not his best book.
