Customer Reviews

Koontz @ his best!!
Christopher Snow is the most memorable Koontz character I have come accross in my reading of 32 Koontz books (currently reading 'One Door Away From Heaven') The relationship between the characters is incredible-you really don't want to finish the book because they feel like your friends, you really do feel like you actually know them. It's incredible. The surfer lingo is not irratating; it adds depth to the characters and it is always explained so you can't miss the meaning. All in all a really brilliant book... I am waiting patiently for the third installment!! Definately a book you can read over if you wish, and a book I could not put down even whilst eating!

Glued to my hands
This book is the first I read from this author. Putting things simply, he is now my favorite. Dean Koontz has an amazing talent that I, as an amature writer, could only wish to obtain. He has a way of making the unusually odd and stupidly impossible possible. Describe this book to a friend and they will think its odd, give it to them to read and they will love it.

His characters are so alive and unique. When reading, you truely know them and their attitudes and ways of life. You understand their view on subjects and their unbreakable bonds to eachother.

Koontz has a way of reaching out to you and dragging you into your weirdest and wildest dreams... and nightmares, making them a reality.

I couldn't recomend this title enough. Start your Koontz collection with this!!

A breathless pageturner
This was only my second Dean Koontz book, "Fear Nothing" being the first. With "Fear Nothing", I was impressed, but in "Seize the Night" Koontz comes alive with an unnerving eyeshine.

I was constantly amazed at the quality of Koontz's writing. I know that isn't any kind of reason to buy a book; one usually buys a book for it to be a cracking good read, which this is, but I couldn't help but appreciate the quality as I was reading. In parts, it was like reading one of your favourite poems - just perfectly polished. Yet for all his polish and finesse, he doesn't miss a beat and manages to produce a belting pageturner at the same time. I don't know how he does it.

In this book, Koontz's character build-up is so real, so seemingly effortless, that you just take his characters for granted as your own friends. You are right there with them. When they joke, you laugh, when they hurt, you hurt. When they die...

This book left me in a muddled state of mind: mentally breathless, relieved, exhausted, sad at having reached the end, angry to find the next is yet to be written, and with one burning question: what made it disappear??? I suspect that might be answered in the final book, so he'd better hurry up and write it.
