Real easy to read pleaser
Very spooky but simple to read, you get very involved with the story.

Hidden Gem
Dean Koontz has written so many books, but this is first i've read. I 've been looking for an alternative from Stephen King. I think Koontz can fill his boots.

This is about a loving, warm childless couple, eagar to adopt, however something seems to want to stop them, near miss after near miss follows. Then they meet Jane, a cool but lost kid with amnesia but who warms to them. The perfect set up.. right?

This is all out horror. The story is short and tight, with only a handful of characters but this adds to the story because you feel for them. Koontz is great at setting a scene, there are a number of chilling ones mostly involving Grace, an elderly woman who plays an intregal part in the book.

The book ends quite suddenly, but this isn't as bad as it sounds because Koontz ties almost all of the threads together just before and leaves you with enough to think of. Stories that drag on become monotonous.

I can't wait to read further Koontz books and highly reccomend this one.

A gripping story
This book is a real page turner.

As usual with Dean Koontz you are drawn into the characters and will feel, at the end of the book, that you have known them personally.

An excellent read. I was quite sad to finish it.
