Summary: On a scale from 1-10, I give it a 6ish...
Review: I thought this book was fair. There were some parts where I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next, but the ending was a bit of a dissapointment. It kinda reminded me of those action flicks where the good guy gets hundreds of bullets aimed at him, but in the end, he comes out clean. It's just not that believable. That's my humble opinion, but to each their own..

Summary: Not his best
Review: I picked this book up in an airport during a long trip, and unfortunately it just made it longer. I am a HUGE Koontz fan, but this is not a book that tops my list (I disagree with a previous review though, in that Fear Nothing and Lightning are way up there). I understand that it was one of his earlier works, and not quite as polished as some of his more recent stuff, but it just really didn't seem to go anywhere but where I expected it to. There were a few spine-tingling segments, particularly the scenes in Danny's room, but that was about as believably supernatural as it got...everything else was a little over the top. I just couldn't care as much for the characters as I usually do, the plot wasn't up to par, and the romance aspect felt very contrived. I would recommend Intensity or some of the earlier works like Watchers and Whispers over this one.

Summary: The Eyes of Darkness
Review: The Eyes of Darkness is one of the greatest books I've ever read. It has something for everyone, including horror, mystery, and romance. This book keeps you in suspense throughout the entire book. One part of the book has Tina and Elliot (...) The mystery is all about the government. Does the government really hide things, or is it just in the people's minds. This book was great if you want to read about the government interfering with people's lives. I wish that everyone would read this book, but if you have young children, I recomend that they don't read this book because of some content.

Summary: Great read!
Review: For those of you who read this book and are a little confused about the one a two star ratings, well let me tell you, your not alone. I for one thought this was a great book and it is definatly worth the money. actually this book deserves a four and a half rating but unfortunatly this site will only allow even numbers.

Summary: COOL! ...NOW WHY CAN'T I DO THAT?
Review: First of all, ya gotta give this one credit for this: it wasn't that predictable at the beginning. OK, maybe it was for some people, but I was turning ahead a few pages to see what was making things in the kid's room move by themselves. The end's a little bland; Danny opens the doors, the gate, screws up the guns, makes it just a little too easy to Tina and Elliot to get in, but the very end (as in the last two pages) RULED!

Summary: A "Suppose" to be Scary Novel
Review: On the norm, Dean Koontz's novels are very suspenceful, but this novel isn't as good as I thought it was going to be. On other novels, like Watches, I expected this novel to be really good, but it wasn't. I suggest you to read INTENSITY by Dean Koontz.

Summary: DISAPPOINTMENT!
Review: usually , Dean Koontz books are the best in it's genre. but this time he made a very miserable job on that book. a very pale plot and shallow characters. thats a real shame.

Summary: silly, stupid and predictable
Review: Firstly, I love reading Dean Koontzs books. This book was the 17th book I read from him, but the worst yet. One of the things I like about his books is that you wonder could it really happen. Not with this one. The boy danny stoping bullets coming out of guns with his mind is a bit much for me. You always know the good guys are always going to win in the end. The book has a very weak storyline too. The last couple of his books that I read have been a big let down (Lightning and Fear Nothing -both terrible). I'm beginning to wonder if he has any other ideas other than corrupt undercover agancies, governments and laborotories? Also, does there always have to be a dog in the storyline? I must have read all the brilliant books first - Phantoms, The voice of the night, Strangers, Whispers and the servants of twilight.

Summary: From Sixth Sense to Playing By Heart, this book has it all!
Review: I have always wanted to read a novel that had it "all". One that is fast passed and exciting, with a hint of romance and mystery. I finally got my wish when I found this book. Koontz did a great job of relaying a very complicated plot. A young boy, Danny, dies in a terrible bus crash. Well, at least that is what everyone thought. A year later, he comes back and tries to let his mom know what she had suspected all along, he wasn't really dead. Using the themes of hope and heart over mind, Knootz instantly makes his readers empathize with the characters. I found myself unable to put the book down because I cared so much about what was going to happen to and with the characters. I definitely urge anyone who can read to do so with this book. It is a must for everyone.
