Summary: Skip this one
Review: I first read Cold Fire and enjoyed it a great deal. I couldn't believe Tick Tock was written by the same author. After a few more Koontz books I realized this was his weakest book with the most ridiculous plot.
Rating: 
Summary: loved it
Review: This is a book that you just need to have fun with. Dont expect it to always be logical or believable.The characters are unique and will keep you laughing.I finished it wishing that I actually knew Del and Tommy. I thought it was a nice break from Koontz's usuals.Its a great one-sit read for anyone who likes a surprise mixed with a little romance. I wouldnt recommend this for any hard-core horror fans. Enjoy! I know I did.

Summary: It was an all around hoot...
Review: This book wasn't all that suspenseful, but the galling characters were a scream. This was a fun one.

Summary: Entertaining, better than most for kids as well
Review: Entertaining, but without much of a surprise ending. I was pleased to read a book that I could recommend to my kids due to the absence of inappropriate languange and story line.

Summary: It was entertaining
Review: I really enjoyed Tick Tock...yeah, it was different and it isn't classic Dean Koontz but it was completely entertaining. If you are looking for a fun but enjoyable book check this out...and any real Koontz fan should like it just because it showcases his ability to write in many different styles

Summary: Just silly
Review: This is not a typical Dean Koontz, as he himself explains at the end of the book. He says he wanted to write a "screwball comedy." Well, this ain't Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. I felt cheated. I spent the time reading the book trying to logically figure out the mystery, only to find there was no logic.
Rating:
Summary: Poorly researched
Review: For a guy who tells audiences at his talks that he writes and rewrites until everything's perfect, how could Koontz screw up so badly? The entire plot hinges on a Vietnamese guy being unable to read Vietnamese "ideograms." But Vietnamese is not written in ideograms. As any trip to Little Siagon would have shown him, we use western letters with accents, umlauts, etc. By the way, those Vietnamese who speak and write Chinese refer to Chinese "characters" not Chinese "ideograms." Sometimes it's better to get out of your ivory tower and learn info from the real world, not just from textbooks.

Summary: Terrible...steer clear of this one
Review: "Tick Tock" is the worst D.Koontz book (and one of the worst horror books) that I have had the misfortune of reading. Fortunately, the book is a blessedly quick read. The plot was weak, the characters and situations were never believable, and the entire premise of the book was nothing but a rehash of a tired theme (inanimate object becomes imbued with evil spirit). Koontz' attempt to integrate "screwball humor" with horror served only to make the book irritating and even infuriating at times. I am surprised that even hardcore Koontz fans could like this one.

Summary: A "potato-chip" of a read!
Review: TickTock is definitely a different type of Koontz novel! This is one book that, albeit it, borders on being totally unbelievable (as opposed to just "unbelievable" as most of Koontz' works are) is a one-sitting, "betcha-can't-read-just-one-page" fun read. My only warning is not to use this as your first Koontz selection. I think he did "TickTock" more for laughs (and to recover his own sanity) than for critical acclaim. Start with any of his earliest works and you'll be a fan for life. "Watchers", "Strangers", "Whispers", and "Shattered" are great first-choices. Back to "TickTock" though. Accept this book on the premise upon which it is written and just have fun with it!
