I don't even know what to say. I was tempted to DNF but I really wanted something to get crossed off of my second bingo card so struggled through to the end with this one. I don't know guys, I think that Koontz has flashes of brilliance in his books, but his later stuff is just him preaching via h...

This only just got 4 stars due to Dean Koontz's seemingly uncanny ability to mess up a fantastic story right at the very end. He did this with Phantoms by wimping out and invoking the great god, Science, and now he's gone and done the same thing again here. It was a truly great ride right up to the ...

I very much enjoyed this one. Okay, it wasn't on the same level with his best - say, LIGHTNING or WATCHERS or PHANTOMS. But it was highly enjoyable and while it did use some Koontzian tropes (the dude's been writing good quality horror/thrillers long enough to have his OWN tropes), he did it in su...

I really enjoyed this one. Part creepy ghost story, part Lovecraft style nightmare, part sci-fi monster romp, with a strong message against technology that loses sight of humanity. The monsters, and there were plenty of them in all shapes and sizes, were nasty, deadly, and creatively imagined. Th...

As someone who is a huge fan of Dean Koontz, I was over the moon about winning a copy of his newest novel in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway. I think I might have even done a little joyful dance in my chair. I never could have imagined I'd be rating this one with 2 stars, though perhaps I should ...

I'm so horribly disappointed in this book. I read over 150 pages before I just started skimming.Too many characters to keep track of and just when I thought I had them all, more were added. Every single second is painstakingly detailed and that got to be really monotonous. Nothing like his other boo...
