Rating: Summary: great writer Review: I have read alot of Dean Koontz books and have found everyone enjoyable. Keep the books coming.
Rating: Summary: Dean does it again Review: As if the show wasn't rough enough on her but to come home to the chalkboard in her sons room that had died a year eariler bearing the words "NOT DEAD". Tina was suffering a lot of stress, but she still wantes to get to the bottom of this, who would play such a cruel joke. Have any ideas, I do. One of Dean's must read books. He keeps adding colorful twists to each novel, you'll love this one. It'll even get you thinking as to how much do we really know
Rating: Summary: D.K. is as extrodinary as ever if not better. Review: However the book took a turn for the worst in chapter(27) page (278) when it skipped back to chapter (8)for 2&1/2 chapters to page 311...right in the middle of the climax of
the book...Was this a ploy by D.K. to pysch out it's
readers to get them to think or a misprint by the editors..
Is there anyway if it was a misprint to get an exact copy of the original so that I may fully enjoy the works of this Stephen King prodigy...Or was I one to think out the plot of this
extrodinary work...

Rating: Summary: Yet another non-stop riveting literary experience by Koontz! Review: Once again, literary master of fantasy and horror has kept us intrigued. By combining our unconscious fears of the capabilities of power our government has and the heart-warming sense of humanity and struggle for life, Dean Koontz has created a novel so riveting it will captivate readers until the very end
Rating: Summary: GRIPPING Review: I was in a total trance from the first page! It kept my mind racing trying to determine the outcome. It really makes me wonder what sort of testing the government does for real
Rating: Summary: It doesn't compare to WATCHERS but then what does!!! Review: Another wild ride from Dean R. Koontz. A good, fast read. Has all of the elements that keep me turning pages. There are couple of drawbacks. His early books don't have the requiredwonder dog. The other is the feeling that I get that he is trying to educate me rather than entertain me. Whatever his quest, Iwas entertained. On my next hike into the Sierras I will have a very watchful eye for something amiss. In fact my next hike is coming up this weekend. If I don't check inon Monday PLEASE DON'T CONTACT THE STATE DEPARTMENT
Rating: Summary: a suspense classic Review: This is the incredibly riveting, tightly written, and uniquely entertaining story of a lost child named Danny and the dedicated mother, Tina Evans, who will do anything to get him back. A year has passed and still no sign of little Danny... but then a friend swears she spotted him in a stranger's car! Next, a mysterious note appears: NOT DEAD. Thus begins a mother's quest to save her kidnapped child, but little does she know of the dangers that await her in this especially gripping yarn that remains a personal favorite of mine. David Rehak author of "A Young Girl's Crimes"
Rating: Summary: Suspenseful, but predictable Review: While I am typically not a fiction reader, my wife bought me this book as I did like another of Koontz's books.
"The Eyes of Darkness" is a story of a boy (Danny) who was killed in a scouting accident on a winter Scouting expedition in the mountains. A year after this death, the boy's Mother (Tina) begins experiencing paranormal phenomena. Suddenly, Tina gets a premonition that Danny is alive. The rest of the book is a danger-laden journey, trying to determine if Danny is alive and if he is, where is he?
I felt that the overall plot of this book is very amateurish and it seems that it has been done in several of the fiction novels that I have read. However, despite the conventional plot, I did feel that the book was awesomely suspenseful, even though the ending seemed appallingly predictable (especially the scene with the helicopter).
The book is easy to follow and is a fast read. As this book is just average, I'd recommend it to people who have nothing better to read or nothing better to do. If you have the book lying around or if you can get it cheap, pick it up as it is a pretty good story. However, this is not a book that I would recommend people run out and purchase a copy as soon as they can.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed in this book Review: This book, while an excellent demonstration of an authors talent in drawing a make believe world into the reality, could have been better. It was a very good book but I think Koontz could have taken more time to explain. There were a few holes in the plot and it left me wondering about certain things at the end. The ending was also somewhat abrupt and unsatisfactory. However, as negative as this reveiw may seem, this book was very good. If I could I go back in time, I would read this book once again and have no regrets about it.
