From AudioFile

Dean Koontz returns with a run-of-the-mill murder mystery that involves the evil spirit of a man whom Hilary Thomas killed, an act that keeps coming back to terrorize her. Narrator William Dufris fails to capture the dark and gloomy atmosphere so characteristic of KoontzÕs stories. He shows little enthusiasm for the story and his portrayals of the characters do not make them believable. Overall, DufrisÕs narration is both overplayed and stereotypical. While the story is not the most original of KoontzÕs offerings, the audio production is not enhanced by DufrisÕs narration.

1.0étoiles sur 5 My $7.99, Nov. 2 2007
This review is from: Whispers (Mass Market Paperback)
Never having read any of his books, I decided to explore Mr. Koontz's creations with this book. Three pages of this "mystery" was all I could take. Dreadful dialogue, repeating words in every sentence, it was painful to read it. I'm saddened by the fact that I fail to see him as a good writer.
If you want a good read- there are worthy books out there.
Read the classics instead.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Awkward, but not bad., Juil 17 2004
This review is from: Whispers (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't lie--I found this book very enjoyable and interesting. It's an unique plotline: Hilary Thomas, a screenwriter living in L.A. is attacked in her Westwood home by a wealthy Napa valley landowner named Bruno Frye. She fends him off once, and kills him a second time...but to her horror, the supposedly dead and buried serial killer shows up in her home once more. In accordance with the Supreme Law of Thriller Novels, she naturally sets off on a quest to find out who Bruno Frye really is, and why he's (possibly) come back from the dead to kill her. The villian is the most complex character of the novel, and the characters' discovery of his childhood secrets is as suspenseful and entertaining as the action in the novel. Now for the bad part: Apart from the general plot, this novel is a painful cliche. The main character, Hilary Thomas, seems just too perfect. She's extremely rich, extremely succesful, and even an oscar-nominated screenwriter, and in addition to this she's breathtakingly beautiful, has a perfect body, is tough, witty, and naturally amazingly nice and down to earth. Her troubled background only adds an element of cheese to the story rather than giving her character depth, and her love interest, a handsome cop, is equally two-dimensional. In their investigation of Bruno Frye, they seem to get information way too easily and conveniently (for instance, they run into Frye's executor who just so happens to completely believe their story, and have a private jet which he of course can fly then around California with) and throughout the story they exchange enough witty dialogue to kill any too-serious reader. The biggest problem I had with this otherwise fine book was the sex. (...) Despite this, the book managed to hold enough of my interest to earn a 3 star rating.
Bottom Line: Read it if you have some time to kill and would enjoy a good thriller, but don't waste your time otherwise. NOT FOR THE YOUNG OR THE SQUEAMISH.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Oh Sweet Jesus!, Juil 13 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Whispers (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the worst book I have read in ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty...whatever-you-say years. Characters are not cardboards-ironboards, dialogues come in chunks and my three-year-old baby speaks more coherently. There is some plot among all the junk here but D. Koontz is so inadept in telling it I wanted to call him and tell how a good writing should be-- me, a housewife witha fourteen-year graduate of college...Skip this and read James Patterson. D. Koontz does not know how to write. It is that simple.
