Demon Seed

Summary: Don't Water This Seed
Review: Oh my God! Lets just say that alot of poor trees were unjustly cut down to print this book. Demon Seed should never have been written, let alone updated and re-released. If you have never read Koontz before, give him another try with Watchers or Phantoms (not the movies though). And if you have read Koontz before, you know this is not his typical great read. Bury this Demon Seed, but don't water it. It may grow back yet again!

Summary: That Hurt
Review: I've read all but one of Dean's available books and this was the worst. I do have one left to read, but I have faith it will not eclipse this one. It Hoovered Gluteus!

Summary: too much talk not enough action
Review: I thought it was disappointing because the ending was really ba

Rating:
Summary: Terribly dissapointing
Review: This book does not even compare to his best books like, Intensity and Strangers. If you want a great read I strongly recommend 'Strangers'. I was thinking Dean Koontz had a little too much booze before writing Demon Seed, he probably had a few drinks and wrote the whole childish book in one sitting. Come on Dean try to say sober before you write anymore thanks.

Summary: A quick read
Review: No, this isn't one of his best, but it is a compelling read and poses some interesting questions about artificial intelligence and the male psyche.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Good thing it's an easy read because I was very disappointed by this book compared to others by Dean Koontz. There's especially very little action, as it's the "demon seed" doing too much talking.

Summary: Okay, not Koontz's best
Review: I liked the book until the end. It was a fast read, It kept me interested but the ending sucked! I really couldn't tell you what happened. I really didn't get it. I am reading The Key to Midnight now, and it is getting good! The funhouse is still my favorite!!!!

Summary: Easy to Read
Review: I found this book easy to read and ending before I knew it. It's rather simple, and it should have been written with more skill considering the technology of today, and Koontz's writing skills. However, I still enjoyed it and let my imagination take over where Koontz failed.

Summary: Ideal for a traveling Ten Year-Old
Review: I read Demon Seed on one uneventful flight from Edmonton to Toronto and i was terribly dissapointed. I've read many of Koontz's books in the past and he's proven to be way too inconsistent for my liking. Some of his books are very good like Watchers, Night Chills, and Sole Survivor, but this is such an obvious attempt to make a few bucks that it's embarrassing. The print is so large that if it were printed in a Stephen King format it would probably go from the 300 pages it is to about 180. The plot is very average and it seems that Koontz used the old fashioned "And then I woke up" formula to wrap up his plot in the last 10 pages. If you have a 10 year old throw this book their way they might just be be inexperienced enough in the way of fiction to enjoy this.

Summary: Nice computer fiction tale but not worth the revision.
Review: The book was interesting and kept me excited. Its definitely not Dean Koontz at his best. For a 1977 revision it needed a little more Artificial Intelligence and techy touch for 1999. I still would add it to my Dean Koontz collection.
