Rating: Summary: Horrible Review: I can only hope that the once talented author of such books as "Watchers" and "Twilight Eyes", was satisfying a contract by writing this "novel." I can think of no other excuses why he would write something so terrible, and place his name on it willfully.The ending is not only bad, but so contrived as to be insulting. While having strong female leads is important in a modern novel, Mr. Koontz seems hell bent on putting radical feminists in each of his books. Witness the characters in his latest novels (Dark Rivers of the Heart, Intensity, now Tick Tock). Perhaps the wife has gotten to his brain.... Please Dean, please! Start writing scary stories again!! You have proved how sensitive you are, how about proving you can still scare us?
Rating: Summary: Ummm...okay? Review: This is one of the dumbest books I have ever read. I love black comedies, but this black comedy was missing one thing: the comedy. I didn't find it at all funny until the very end, and the characters were 100% unconvincing. Only read it if you are drunk.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! heart pounding! Dean Koontz at his best! Review: I loved this book. It kept me on edge the entire time it took to read it. It was like being a child again, afraid of the dark and looking for the boogie man under the bed. I recommend this story to everyone who has the need for fast action and heart pounding excitement.
Rating: Summary: unusual ending Review: Tick Tock was very exciting. I stayed up until midnight reading it. The reason I didn't give it full credit is because the ending needed a little help.
Rating: Summary: Exhausting Review: The continuous and never-ending chase scenes exhausted my ability to maintain focus and interest. I felt that it was poorly written and I cared nothing for the characters. This book is cheap and tasteless bubblegum for the mind.
Rating: Summary: Excelent!!! Review: I have read so many books and few of them compare to "Tick Tock". Dean... i enjoyed it and i will continue reading your works.
Rating: Summary: Not his best but damn its good Review: This book is not the usual Koonz thiller but I really enjoyed it. The comic relief was a nice touch. It keeped me the edge of the couch and I hated to put the book down. One minute my heart is pounding out of my chest then i'm laughing my a** off. Koonz gets me so envolved that I feel as if I'm part of the story. When I am reading I can see in my mind every action that happens. I am truily a Koonz fan to the end.
Rating: Summary: Shades of anti-life Review: More. It just keeps coming at you... More! There is no escape from the insidious pounding of Koontz' scripture.
Rating: Summary: Exelent Review: this is one of the best books i have read and i would dissagree withh allthose other people who said it stunk
Rating: Summary: And now for something on the lighter side. Review: Koontz injects humor into his morality tale of an immigrant running from the wiles of his mischievous matriarchs.Not to add weight to this unusually slim tome, the conclusion to be drawn is that while it is perfectly acceptable for native born Americans to conpicuously spend and consume, those of us "just off the boat" had better remember where it was we came from. Or else!
