4.0�toiles sur 5 A great thriller with a bit of a supernatural twist, F�v 18 2008

Par	S. D. Rogers-Greason "Open Minded Writer" (Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Darkest Evening of the Year (Hardcover)

Obviously the other reviewer was expecting something totally different than what he got...which rather confuses me because while Dean Koontz is usually shelved in the horror section of book stores, his books are often only partly horror. The fact he picked the book up simply being an animal lover shows that he barely gave this book a chance in my opinion.

While not one of the more supernaturally involved books of Dean's, it is a great and twisty thriller, tying together many seemingly unconnectable people together into a life or death situation, along the way revealing hidden secrets and histories and atrocities (what happens to the main character alone is one of the more shocking things I've ever read in a Koontz book) and finding out along the way that all animals are precious and very special in their own ways.

He also manages to tie in quite a few gunfights as well and much backstabbing and double crossing between multiple bad guys (more so than The Husband had) and keeps you wondering exactly what will happen to everyone, and the end has a pretty interesting twist that will make most readers question their own humanity...or make you do what the other reviewer did...I suggest the close minded stay far away from this book.

While I much prefer his more supernatural other worldly books and planet wide catastrophes, this book is a very good read and will keep you very enthralled from beginning to end. If this is your first Koontz book, keep in mind a lot of his books are a lot weirder than this one :)

3.0�toiles sur 5 Great until the end., Mai 17 2009

Par	C. Lavallee (BC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Darkest Evening of the Year (Mass Market Paperback)

The Darkest Evening of the Year had so much promise with every turned page. It had me spell bound wondering what would happen next and then all of a sudden it ended. I could just picture the publisher giving Koontz a call urging him to wrap it up and send it out. I felt entirely ripped off by the ending.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Weak and Ridiculous, Janv. 2 2009

Par	Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Darkest Evening of the Year (Mass Market Paperback)

Dean Koontz has put a Golden retriever as his canine heroine at the center of this novel. Nickie is a rescued dog with seemingly supernatural abilities to save children from harms way.

The basic premise of the story involves Amy Redwing a professional dog rescuer and her architect boyfriend Brian McCarthy. Both are troubled by past demons, Brian has "visions" that come out through drawings and Amy focuses on saving dogs in danger. Nickie seems to be the reincarnated spirit of Amy's long departed daughter although this is never clarified.

We have the evil characters Harrow (Amy's ex) and Moongirl (Brian's ex) who have custody of Brian's daughter Piggy (suffering from Down syndrome). They continually taunt Amy and Brian by torturing and tormenting his daughter, a pathetic couple.

The whole plot is weak, lacking originality and is also ridiculous at times. The story begins slowly taking different turns as it goes leaving you confused, an insane plot with way too many lose ends. Not only are we missing intelligent dialogue between characters to make things interesting, we have little build up to the action and no closure, leaving reader with many questions by the end of the book.

Dean Koontz has always walked the tightrope between realism and the supernatural but here he has fallen into the unbelievable and ridiculous I could make a list of the absurdities found but I will spare you. This is a novel to borrow not worth buying.

Ugh,
I'm sorry, but this book was total garbage. I've never read Dean Koontz before, but I'm an animal lover so I picked it up. Read more
