Summary: A Mother's Love
Review: A tale that will keep you guessing. The scene is Las Vegas... After the supposed death of her son, Danny, Tina Evans starts obsessing over the belief that he is infact still alive... This is an intense story filled with action and science fiction along with an interwoven love story. I could not put it down. This is a great read and I would recommend it to any Dean Koontz or Steven King fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PARENTS' WORST NIGHTMARE!!
Review: Paranoia, governement secrect projects, this is Koontz at (or near) the top of his form.

He weaves a tight story with witty dialogue, real characters, a smooth flowing story, and DK insight. This is a really good book that has all the right elements.

Koontz is currently at the top of his game and this is a part of his legacy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Trial Run
Review: A woman is convinced her supposedly dead little boy is still alive. He seems to be supernaturally manifesting himself around her, but she's sure he isn't a ghost. Someone believes her, and helps her track the boy down. Is the boy still alive? And if he is, why would someone be holding him incommunicado?

Fairly good book, which suffers by comparison to the author's better-written Door to December. Eyes of Darkness comes off rather as a dry-run toward the later title. If you're going to read them both, you'll probably want to start with this one, or it will end up disappointing. Door to December won't disappoint, even if you know what's coming.

Not Koontz's best, but worth a read when you've read his others.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great page-turner from D Koontz.
Review: This is another fantastic book by Dean. The book is an incredibly fast and entertaining read. I enjoyed the book very much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST BOOK
Review: THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK I'VE READ BY HIM BUT I'VE READ MANY BOOKS. AND THIS ONE WAS DIFFINENTLY MY FAVORITE BOOK THAT I HEVE EVER READ. I READ IT IN TWO DAYS AND THATS GOOD FOR ME. THERES ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON IN THIS, EITHER SUSPENCE, MYSTERY, HUMOR, ROMANCE, OR EVEN PARANORMAL EVENTS!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A real page-turner!
Review: I read this book in one sitting! It was great - it had me curious, tense, spooked, and thrilled at the same time. This is Koontz at his very best! I definitely recommend it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Eyes of Darkness
Review: I read this book years ago, published under the name Leigh Nichols. I found one other book by Leigh Nichols in my searching, and that book was "Shadowfires." Both books I enjoyed tremendously. When I first discovered Dean Koontz, I found him intriging, if somewhat familiar, at times spooky, at times boring and repetitious, but mostly good. I was quite surprised to learn that Nichols and Koontz were one in the same, especially since he republished both "The Eyes of Darkness" and "Shadowfires", under his own name, without so much as a mention of his psuedonym Leigh Nichols. Does that mean that Leigh Nichols is the real writer, and Dean Koonz just a figment of her imagination? Or does it mean that Dean Koontz just doesn't believe the readers who knew him before he was a household name are important enough to keep informed?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting but lacking
Review: Upon reading this book I have come to the conclusion that I liked the book but it was lacking. The characters were strong, the plot was decent and it kept you hanging. At the end of some chapters the author left you wanting desparately to know what happend next. Compared to other books I've read it wasn't good. I have read some very intense books. I've read one other Dean Koontz books: "Funhouse". That book was interesting and creepy. This was a good book and if you like mystery, supernatural spook stuff, this would be an enjoyable read for you. Overall "Eyes of Darkness" was a good book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Eyes of Darkness
Review: Another book that illustrates Koontz at his best. His grasp of the bond between mother and child is amazing and his wholely believable background creates a mood of reality. You come away thinking, "Could this happen to me?" Doubtful but such thoughts are alway exciting as well as fearful. If you like books about the strange and psychic then go for this book. It blends sciece and the supernatural into one gripping, fully satisfying tale...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of his better ones
Review: Very unsettling ending. Grabs you from the first page. A really good read. I also recommend Demon Seed and Mr. Murder.
