Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good, being a mother myself, it kept me on edge.
Review: I read some of the reviews for this book and everyone forgets that it was written under Dean's pen name. This was written years ago when he was just starting out. I frankly thought it was very suspenseful and a very good read.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Definitely a good buy
Review: I loved this book! It's not one of his best, but it was in the top half. I couldn't get enough of Tina, Elliot and Danny. In fact, I would like to know more about what happened after they left the lab. Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What happened, Dean?
Review: Every now and then a superb author has a mistake. Taken with Koontz masterpieces such as Phantoms and Watchers, this is a very weak effort. This book fails terribly in descriptiveness that you'll finish the story before getting to know everybody. Maybe decent for a short read but you'll be better off picking a copy of Dragon Tears.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: pretty weak effort
Review: Koontz has written several wonderful novels. This one, unfortunately, isn't one of them. The main characters are incredibly shallow, others are too black and white. The plot is too predictable. I've read about a dozen of Koontz's books, and this is definitely the worst of them.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Run-of-the-mill
Review: One of Koontz's so-so efforts. If I remember a Koontz book it must have been good, this barely sticks in my mind, I hardly remembered that I'd even read it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I read this book a few years ago and I still think about it.
Review: This story just somehow seemed to stick with me... I usually read Romance, but was given this one day. I couldn't put it down. I'm normally a wimp for suspense, but I just HAD to find this book again. I thought it was fantastic!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Startted out good, and endend like he was in a hurry.
Review: Dean Koontz, has writtin many books, and though this was one of his early books I get the feeling that he lost interest in his writing of this book about mid way. He quickly threw in charactors to kill off some of the main ones. And then in the last few chapters it was like he didn't care anymore and he just wanted to get the book completed. I suggest to read another book from Koontz, he has done much better than this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring!!!!
Review: I read this book because the back fascinated me,it seemed like it would be about something more realistic but it turned out to be a science fiction book that was not very good and way to unrealistic. I belive a book can be unrealistic but this was way to far fetched and it ended up having a stupid plot.Dont waste your time with this book if you want a good one "Intesity" or "Phantoms"are good novels but dont waste your time with this junk.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very suspenseful and eerie
Review: The book from the get go was very good. He did a marvelous job in keeping you always in suspense. I thought that it would have been a better, more realistic book if the informant would have been someone from the inside instead of her telekinetic son. But I was still happy with the ending. This was my first koontz book that I have read and was definitely not disapointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: fast paced is another word for sensationalist stupidity
Review: Dean Koontz is a writer that ignores plot and interest, the ending was weak and stupidly easy. the beginning had promise, but then the book looked if he had forgotten deadline and had to write the rest all in one hour, using plot devices as a omnipotent benefactor and to save the plot by bringing up the redeeming social value of experimenting on small children (as he did in Door To december). it was terrible and sadistic.
