Review: If you've read "Cold Fire", "Mr.Murder" and "Hideaway" and just loved them, you'll probably enjoy this one too. Losts of action and sci-fi.

Summary: Lightning
Review: This was my first Koontz book, after finishing it I was hooked. Koontz has included all of the key elements in Lightning...mystery, romance, sci-fi. If you've never read any of his work, I suggest you start with this exceptional piece of fiction. It will keep you on the edge of you seat! Typically I read this book twice a year for about 10 years now. You will fall in love with Laura Shane and everything she stands for.

Summary: I deff. recomend you read this book
Review: I read this book because everyone I talk to about Dean Koontz says, "Oh, have you read Lightening, it is so good!". So one day I picked it up; and it turned out to be everything you could want in a book. Action, Romance, Suspense.......I absolutly couldnt put it down.

Summary: Brilliant novel... but with one little problem...
Review: OK... all i have to say about this novel is that it was great. Laura Shane is a great protagonist and the minor characters are, i think, the most colorful Koontz has ever created. The Ackerson twins especially show this. Unfortunately, koontz lacks in this novel where he generally exceeds other authors...there's no main villain. There are thugs, but no really major figure. But this is a small quibble, considering that this is not only a thriller, but also scifi. Also, Dean has the audacity to have one of his lead characters actually meet up briefly w/ both winston churchill and hitler. don't ask me...just read the book! you'll be glad u did. This book is wholly satisfying except for a sense of urgency a bigger villain would have supplied. but, for me at least, watching laura struggle and seeing her strength of character was more than enough to make this book a great read.

Summary: do not wast money and time in this book
Review: I read 2 books of this author and didn't like any of them. This book is so unreal. I know that it was supposed to be sci-fi but it's so stupid. I do not recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Somtimes it's the past that we really need to fear.
Review: I read this book about a year ago and it is still fresh in my mind. This was the first Koontz book I had ever read but far from the last. His ability to walk you through this girls life was uncanny. Very similar to the way he treats Chris Snow. I found myself white knuckeled and totally engrossed, my mind ablaze with the craziness of time travel and what could be. More then once I put it down to go to bed then ended up picking it back up. It was very nice to read a book that held me in it's clutches all the way through. Something most books have fail to do. So read this book and never look at a storm the same way again.

Summary: Koontz At His Best Again!
Review: Koontz has done it again, penning another fabulous story in "Lightning". The premise is not new-a girl witnesses a strange man appear to help her escape trouble whenever it appears. However, Koontz displays this in a new fashion; is this man a harbinger of evil, or her savior from it? There are many twists and turns in this novel, many, if not most, unexpected, and welcome! Koontz delievers a wonderful book full of action, adventure, romance, science fiction, and most of all-surprises! The revelation of who this mysterious stranger is, in my opinion, is worth reading the book alone...the rest is icing on the cake!

Summary: WOW!
Review: This book is by far one of my all time favorite books by Koontz. Love, action, suspense, mystery, sci-fi, what more could a book offer! Lightning is a definite must read!

Rating:
Summary: A great book - and by far Koontz's best
Review: I love this book. It's about a girl who is rescued by a stranger whenever she is in danger. One day the stranger shows up on her porch unconscious and in desperate need of her help. There's a great twist about who he is and where he comes from. "Lightning" is very suspenseful and imaginative, it draws you in right at the start and never lets go. If you only read one book by this author (and I hope that you do - the rest get very redundant and annoying) read this one!

Summary: Lightning-very thought provoking
Review: It's been a while since I've read Lightning, but I couldn't help myself to write this review. Though it is not my favorite Koontz book, it is probably in my top ten. The book has well-developed characters, a complex and often mind-bending plot, and a satisfying conclusion. The complex plot, in my opinion, is probably the best aspect of the book. It forces you to think, and it gets your mind going. Personally, I was still thinking about it for days after I had completed it. This is definitely Koontz at his best, though Watchers, Seize the Night, and Dark Rivers of the Heart truly display Koontz's great writing ability.
