This one was an interesting one. I'm very glad I decided to read it. It was creepy and really sucked me into the world it was creating. It wasn't perfect though. In fact, I was a little surprised by some of the complaints I had, just because I wasn't expecting to have them. But I'll get onto that la...

This is the third time in a row I have awarded a Dean Koontz novel five stars. What is going on?! The Taking, Dean Koontz's 2004 apocalyptic thriller, floored me. Before reading it I scoured the internet (specifically Amazon) for reviews to get a general impression of the story. I do this before s...

Back in college I was a big Koontz fan, probably because Stephen King wasn’t really producing anything worthwhile and I’d read all his good stuff already…so Dean Koontz was a good second choice…especially as he writes like crazy so not only did he already have an insanely large back catelogue to cho...

Didn't take too long at all to know that I should have developed a drug addiction before embarking on this kaleidescope

What will make a man despise all that is around him? What has happened in his life that he would rejoice in the drowning of a world, that he sees precious little of good in his fellow adults? What has happened that his love is now reserved only for children, animals, nature? I found myself wondering...
Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys
Best Dean Koontz novel. his is a good book. Again the darn good characters and the dogs... (I bet the next book will have them both...) This book was good for it's atmospheric and almost percepetible miasma. The aliens, the part of the dogs. I thought it was a good and fast paced book. I read it in ...

I have read a lot of mysteries, tons of horror... and this is the only book that I have had to put down because I was scared. Perhaps that is due to my own personal fears, but I was that girl who would watch The Exorcist at 2a.m. all alone in the dark and sleep like a baby afterwards. I liked this b...
