Summary: Dean Koontz's best book ever
Review: Dean Koontz is one of todays best authors, and the proof is
in the pages of this wonderful masterpiece. Suspence and
horror are brought together here with exceptional talent.
This is one of the few books that will keep you guessing right
up to the very last chapter, and no matter what your guess
you won't believe the outcome!

Summary: The House Of Wonder ?
Review: The House Of Thunder,
This being an older novel by Mr. Koontz, originally penned under the pseudonym Leigh Nichols, is not in my opinion his best work. Although I liked the book, I felt I couldn't connect with the characters. Susan is an enigma, not only her past but her present conditions are thin, lacking the depth needed to actually care about her character. The same is said about most of the characters that make appearances in this novel. It's very hard to care about characters you literally know nothing about.
Susan wakes from a coma, then the story moves on. We learn a little about her as she begins to remember, just not nearly enough to care about her. A handsome doctor, a friendly nurse and faces from her past are all encountered, but then again we learn very little about these people.
In all fairness the book is a mystery, leaving the reader the task of figuring out the plot. I do feel Koontz has done much better than this with great works such as `Dark Rivers Of The Heart' and `The Servants Of The Twilight'.
I did like the book, but not enough to recommend it as a must read to would be Koontz fans.

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: 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.
Rating:
Summary: Overdone, overdone
Review: This is probably one of Koontz's worst books ever. The plot is cliche' and dull, the characters unrealistic, and the sentence structures simple and repeatative. Don't waste your time.
