The Mask

Rating:
Summary: Excellent craftmanship; abrupt ending
Review: This is the first Koontz book I have read cover to cover, and I must say I am impressed. He has very solid writing skills, and these shine throughout the book. He does a fine job of building suspense slowly until the end, when the climax erupts. If Mr. Koontz were a carpenter, his work would be superb; his dedication to his craft is apparent. I do not understand the previous criticism of the ghostly images Grace sees; I thought these were eerie and an excellent part of the book, esp. the deceased reporter who showed up in her rose garden. The only thing keeping me from giving this book five stars is that I found the ending staisfying, but rather abrupt. I would have tied up more of the loose ends with a suitable epilogue. But, then again, his books have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and mine have merely sold hundreds, so who am I to talk?

Summary: No Koontz
Review: THis was a little disapointing for me, i could not get into the book, usually i am hooked on the first page but it took me over 70 pages to get into it.
I am sorry Koontz but this was not ur best work, but i still love you. I love Koontz work to much to put lower than 3.

Summary: The Mask
Review: While the story of The Mask is definitely entertaining and memorable, the ending leaves some unresolved issues, which is a bit disappointing. However that really is it's only flaw; I would definitely recommend this book.
