Worthy Sequel, Dec 30 2003
I thought Seize the Night was a worthy sequel for Fear Nothing. I guess the gem in the book is again Christopher Snow. But here we get to see him in more of a hero role, a role where he's less afraid & ready to try & save the day! While the plot isn't realistic, it's a fun ride. I read so many books that most don't leave an impression with me. However, the character of Chris Snow has beaten the odds!

One of his most lovable characters, Dec 30 2003
Christopher Snow is one of Koontz's most lovable & memorable characters. And that's saying alot because Koontz has written many novels & all with great characters!! Imagine living with XP, not being able to go into the sunlight. That in itself is a scary thought, leaving you feeling trapped. No imagine someone is trying to kill you. This is one of Koontz's best books. Go out & get it!

Koontz is worth the read!, Dec 30 2003
If you pick up almost anything by Koontz you won't be disappointed. Dragon Tears is no exception. While again, the scenario isn't exactly believable, Koontz still pulls it off. And with finess. I think the most valuable part of Koontz's writing is his characters. Without that- the plots, the themes, the evil dwellers, would do nothing for us. But giving us characters to love & care about & even characters that we love to hate- make the reading memorable & enjoyable.

Excellent Writing, Dec 30 2003
After reading a book like Lightning, I have such high esteem & respect for Dean Koontz. I've been a fan for many years, this was one of the first books of his I read. It's left an impression. While again, the plot isn't likely, somehow Koontz drags you in & makes you think that it is happening. In a town not far from you... Time travel has always been an interesting topic & Koontz manages to pull it off!

At his best, Dec 30 2003
This book does display Koontz at his best. While the topic isn't exactly likely to happen, somehow Koontz pulls you in & makes you believe it CAN happen. When you're near death & almost die, what does that do to you? Can it change you, change who you are- does it open a door to another world? While the thought of dying is scary enough, imagine if you survived, but you were changed. And not for the better. What would you do? This book is full of suspense, mystery, terror, horror, astonishment & heart-pounding moments! Go get it & read!

One of his best, Dec 30 2003
This is absolutely one of his best books. The title is fitting too- House of Thunder. The house in this book is not one I've forgotten- even though I read this book years ago. And the characters, the ones that aren't on the good side, have left lasting impressions. I know I'll read the book again, I'm betting it will freak me out as much as the first time around. The best part of this book was the ending- it gave me a bit of a surprise.

Great Mystery!, Dec 30 2003
This is one of Koontz's better mysteries. I like all of his books, but not all of them leave you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out a secret. The best part- it's about the main character in this book! Can you imagine how scary it would be to question & doubt who you are? That's the one thing we all think we at least know, if you don't know that- who can you trust? This is one of my favorite books of his. Go out & get it!

The Carnivals back in town!, Dec 30 2003
This is the type of book that makes you jump at dark shadows. It makes you look at people a bit longer. That means it's GOOD. Yes, the plot is a bit unrealistic, but it's a fun read nonetheless. Again- another example about carnivals being a bit unsafe. The reason I gave it 4 stars was that it did leave some unanswered questions.

Not his best work, Dec 30 2003
The Mask has a great plot- a girl with no history, no memory...what's behind her eyes? What's in her mind? However, Koontz got a little carried away & I don't think he quite pulled off this story. If you're looking for a great story by Koontz I'd recommend: The Bad Place, Key to Midnight, Whispers & Cold Fire.

Carnivals are scary!, Dec 30 2003
This book proves why carnivals are scary. What's funny is that as you're reading- the plot seems possible! An insane man lurking in the dark shadows... This is a classic Koontz book. If you're looking for something freaky, crazy & suspenseful, this book will do it!
