My version only has 334 pages. ISBN - 0553804154.3.5/5OVERALL IMPRESSION: This is my first ever Dean Koontz book and one of the very few adult books I read this year. This book creeped me out. I would never want to be put in Billy's situation. I was definitely hooked while reading this. I wanted to ...

Another quick read by Dean Koontz, also similar to Intensity it wasn’t as scary as I hoped it would be. As I was reading it I often found myself skimming some of the paragraphs because I felt like something scary was going to happen, but it never did, the scary scenes came out of nowhere. Despite ...

The word velocity does not apply. The book is not fast-paced, in fact there is never a real sense of urgency. I was really hoping for a heart-pounding thriller, which Koontz is certainly capable of (Intensity), but this book doesn’t hit the mark. The characters I found most interesting were not e...

Easy read, good violence but the plot really makes no sense. I never did understand why the protagonist got his panties in a twist in the first place. Ok read but it was like most of Koontz's works...not that special.
Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys
Well here we go again. Wherever you check you read that if you like Stephen King you will like Dean Koontz but that's just plain wrong. Dean Koontz is a good writer don't get me wrong.

Most often, as much as I consider myself a fan of Dean Koontz, we have a love/hate relationship. Some of his works I absolutely cannot stand and made me want to lobotomize myself just to end the agony. Other times, like with Velocity, I cannot put the book down and am absolutely riveted! Several ...

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately; one in particular that has recently been added to my weekly list is "Books on the Nightstand". The title is pretty self explanatory as it involves two people talking about what books they like while making a few recommendations to their listeners. One...
