Summary: Lot's of twists and turns
Review: This is one deeply engrossing novel. The beginning dragged a bit, because of a previous Koontz book I just read "The Mask" and that also took a lot of place in the hospital, and it involved memory loss.
The story hovewver has a few scary surprises, that made my heart race. Susan Thornton is one character that we grow to like, and we do not want anything to happen to her. Unfortunatelly for us and for Susan, there is a clever ploy going on at the hostpital that will turn her world upside - down.
Just when you think she's safe, she ends up in a much worse situation.
I read this book into deep hours of the night, it was hard to put down. The ending was very surprising! Not a guesser at all.
Great book from Koontz, trully worth your time : )

Summary: Koontz Does It Again!!
Review: This book to me is a classic. Koontz brilliantly constructs this plot and makes it a joy to see unfold. I read this book a few years back and I still remember the pleasure I got from it. A couple months ago I gave this book to my girlfriend to read I got her hooked on Koontz now I am like her Koontz supplier hehehe. Anyways I dared her to figure out the plot before books end and to tell me. She had quite the imagination but could never come up with the plot. After she finsihed she was astounded by the sheer brilliance of this book. So why did I give this book 5 stars quite simply because it was a hard book to put down. I seen from other reviews some were disappointed with the ending but I bet for that moment of time when they were reading it all were captivated just as I was!!!

Summary: Mind bending thriller
Review: A woman named Susan Thorton wakes up in a hospital. Her entire body feels numb, and she can barely move. To make matters worse, she has no memory of the accident that brought her to the hospital, or even her own name. As she slowly begins to regain her memory, Susan notices four shadowy figues from her past that are supposed to be dead, and look exactly the same age they did thirteen years prior. To make matters even worse, there are secrets trapped within Susan's mind that these four men do not want Susan to uncover.The House of Thunder is a very well written psychological thriller. This book drags you in from page one and keeps you there with unending suspense and building paranoia. As Susan regain her memory, she keeps seeing more and more things related to her past, and becomes convinced that everyone around her from her doctor and nurses to the ordalies are in on it. Due to Susan's condition, no one believes her. As time passes, the reader is never sure what to believe or what characters to trust because of the fact that Susan might be telling the truth. This book really keeps you on the edge of your seat. Overall, The House of Thunder is one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever read. The book is filled with outstanding characters, tons of paranoia and suspense, and an unpredictable ending. If you are a fan of Dean Koontz, or love conspiracy theory type stories, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Dean Koontz at his best...
Review: It's rare that I read a book for enjoyment. The House of Thunder was the most recent book I've completed, cover to cover. It's simply amazing, and I found it hard to put down after I started reading it.
I would have to say it's one of Dean Koontz best written novels, and highly recommended for anyone who likes a little mystery & suspense to get their mind thinking...

Summary: One of his best
Review: This is absolutely one of his best books. The title is fitting too- House of Thunder. The house in this book is not one I've forgotten- even though I read this book years ago. And the characters, the ones that aren't on the good side, have left lasting impressions. I know I'll read the book again, I'm betting it will freak me out as much as the first time around. The best part of this book was the ending- it gave me a bit of a surprise.

Summary: Nightmares Can Come True
Review: Susan Thorton woke from an auto accident in a hospital in Willawauk, Oregon, without her memory. They tell her she's a scientist who works for Milestone Corporation, but she's seized by anxiety every time she thinks about the company. Then a nightmare from her past has come to life in the hospital. When she was in college her boyfriend was killed in a Pennsylvania cave called the House of Thunder, and she saw it happen. Impossible as it seems, the killers, wicked and evil, are coming for her. The doctors tell her this nightmare is just a by product of her bruised brain. But is it? The House of Thunder is an enjoyable book that will keep you thumbing through the pages with the speed of light. Like all of Mr. Koontz's books, I was hooked on page one and I stayed on the line right up until the end. Reviewed by Stephanie Sane

Summary: The noise of the storm promised agreat read, did not deliver
Review: Susan Thorton awakes in a hospital bed and is told she has been in a coma for a long time as a result of a car crash which she can't remember. In fact she can't remember anything about her life at all except what happened to her fiance a long long time ago in the cave system known as the House of Thunder. He was brutally murdered by four bigots who did not want him in their fraternity. Those four men are dead now, she knows this for a fact but she swears she is seeing them in the flesh as other patients and staff. She is also falling in love with her neuro-surgeon who has a few secrets of his own. This is not a fast paced thriller with most of the book set inside the hospital with Susan in the bed with the reader going into her confused mind. The House of Thunder picks up the pace at the end but the ending is too easy and not real exciting. There are a lot better Koontz novels out there than this one.

Summary: The best Koontz book I have ever read!
Review: I have read a very long list of books by Dean Koontz. Once I read this book, I have yet to find another that compares. This book had what I needed. Mystery, excitement, passion, intensity of the unknown. Excitement when you do not know where events are going to take you and the passion we all wish would happen to us.

Summary: And the thunder roared...
Review: The House of Thunder was a great book w/so many twists and turns, yet the writing was so vivid, it feels like I watched a movie. The end was a tad cheesy, somewhat romance novelish. Being a Dean Koontz fan, I know to expect happy endings, but this one was just rather... disappointing. It felt like the story was cut off too early. All in all, this book was very interesting and satisfying. It made you question the reality of the events happening in it. I'd recommend.
