Rating: Summary: Dean Koontz...the way I like it!!! Review: All right, I perused the other reviews and I have a bone to pick with some of them. It seems to me that if a writer doesn't adhere to a certain method, some readers become disillusioned. In my opinion, Seize the Night is one of the best novels Mr. Koontz has written. I enjoy his sense of humor, and, yes, I also enjoy the fact that he's infusing more spirituality into his prose. There is more to suspense than blood and guts. Make us think! DK does that. I say this was a rip-roaring, tasty, side-splitting monster of a novel. I can't wait for #3 in the Christopher Snow series.
Rating: Summary: Dean, Dean,Dean, Get a new angle Review: All I can say is Dean is a wonderful writer. But if I hear the word "Recombinant DNA" One more time I will SCREAM!!!!!!! Come On Dean! Something NEW please!!!!!! Just can't beat TicToc!!!
Rating: Summary: This book is Great! Review: Seize the Night is another Masterpiece by Possibly the best Author ever, it fits right in there next to Mr Murder, The Bad Place and Phantoms. The is perhaps the best sequal ever written
Rating: Summary: A spellbinding tale with well-drawn characters. Review: I have a long commute to work and picked up the audio version of Seize the Night impulsively while at my local library. I was pleasantly surprised. I've long been a Koontz fan and found myself WANTING to drive somewhere just to see what would happen next. Quite often I was disappointed when I arrived at work and had to stop the cassette. This week I went back to the library and checked out the first one in the series, called Fear Nothing. I'm looking forward to another enjoyable Koontz week.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful. heart-thumping read!!! Review: This book was equally as entertaining as Fear Nothing, and I felt the characters were well developed. Mr. Koontz is a master at writing suspenseful novels, and his descriptions of the animal characters are just wonderful. The way they are included in the story is sometimes hilariously lifelike, and at other times soulful. If these are part of a trilogy, then I can't wait for the third volume.
Rating: Summary: Leave the lights on when you listen and don't drive. Review: This is a scary story because the reader feels parts of this story could really happen.The descriptive detailed plot catches the reader and propels him into the story.I did not want to turn my tape recorder off.The relationships among the friends is beautifully understood but not overdone. I enjoyed this tape very much.
Rating: Summary: I really enjoyed both Fear Nothing and Seize The Night. Review: I loved the characters in these two books.I can hardly wait for the sequel.Please hurry.
Rating: Summary: disappointing sequel to Fear Nothing Review: While Fear Nothing introduced some neat characters and an extremely "creative" storyline, Seize the Night adds nothing to this series. The characters do not develop further -- they are like two dimensional caricatures of what they were in Fear Nothing. The plot is like a one line joke (or storyline) stretched out to novel length. The whole book is one good guy vs. bad guy episode after another, strung together with no neutral plotlines or character development in between. Some may call that "breakneck pace" -- I call it tedious. Good pacing in a thriller requires some "down time" between the tautly suspenseful scenes. A very disappointing sequel.
Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL!! CHRIS SNOW & COMPANY ARE GREAT!! Review: I love this trilogy. I can hardly wait for the next Chris Snow & Co. The premise of the super intelligent animals is fabulous. Dean Koontz makes me laugh, cry,scares the crap of of me & just generally writes a really entertaining book. Thanks Dean for a great read or listen (in my case) Cynthia Rooney
Rating: Summary: I loved the dialogue and the relationships in this novel. Review: I loved Seize The Night and anxiously await the next installment. I caught myself laughing out loud at the dialogue. Seize The Night is a masterpiece of plot, relationships and a touch of humor. I actually prefer this type of work from Mr. Koontz over novels such as his Intensity. It was too gruesome. If I want "gruesome" there are other authors that I can read.
