Summary: Imaginative but dissapointing.
Review: Winter Moon would have been better as a short story. The first 300 pages are unnecessary drek. The characters are pathetic and bland (and does anyone else notice Koontz seems to have the same 3 main characters in nearly all of his novels? There's the heroic, faithful male, the strong female, and the young, innocent child). The story has real potential, as most of Koontz's novels do, but it is wasted in bad writing. It really seems like there was no editing at all, or if any, sparse and uninfluential. The book doesn't seem unsalvagable, but, unfortunately, it was left in a wreck on the beach. I would recommend against reading it.

Summary: This novel was my FAVORITE!!
Review: Man, this book had me at some points closing it and then throwing it across my bedroom because it shook me up so much!! To all who said it was lame and wasn't past fifth grade, what grade are you in? I may just read this one again very soon! Great suspense!!

Rating:
Summary: Not his best, but has its moments
Review: I found the first half of the book somewhat disjointed and a bit slow moving, rare for a Koontz book. It did congeal in the second half, and managed to hold my interest until the end. Koontz can do so much better than this, that I was disappointed.

Summary: Winter Moon made the hot summer days FREEZE away in horror!
Review: I think this book is one of his best. This is a book I put off reading for a while, not knowing what it would be about, but once I read some of the online reviews from Amazon.com, I just had to. I wasn't dissapointed. I really liked the way he portrayed Toby as a hero. I think that Mr. Koontz has outdown himself this time. GOOD JOB DEANY!!!

Summary: One of the better Koontz books
Review: This is one of the better Koontz books that I've read in a long time. Lately, most of his novels that I've read have followed a definite pattern: woman in peril, guy assists, woman finds inner strength and proves to be stronger than guy, all the while they work together against a corrupt corporation/government agency. Happily the only part of the pattern that carried over was a strong female character. Thus all potential of predicting and second guessing the story was useless. Rather than being entertaining and bland, it turned out to be quite suspenseful. The last hundred or so pages had me jumping at every sound. This is classic Koontz and well worth it.

Summary: A good koontz book
Review: I read this book about 3 years ago but I still think of it now and then. Although the ending was rather vague, the writing itself was great. It starts off as two separate stories: A family in L.A. and a old retired couple living in Montana. To find out how the two get intertwined into an exciting and scary mystery, read the book!

Rating:
Summary: far from genius, but sometimes it does not matter!
Review: this is not one of his best novels. the plot isn't amazing and so aren't the charecters...but you still can't help loving it. it gets you in the mood very fast' and it's like those 1950's sci-fi stuff with aliens in an isolated ranch. it's a scary book, entertaining and thrilling. fun sci-fi horror. but if yourlooking for better koontz books try hideaway or watchers.

Rating:
Summary: NOT highly recommended
Review: I must say this was the worst Koontz book Ive laid my hands on. I thought the plot was thin, and the characters boring. I wouldn't recommend picking this one up; at least not as your first Dean Koontz book; because your first impression wouldn't be a good one.

Summary: Don't buy unless you're into masochism
Review: The plot of this book is so silly it's not even funny. The characters are one-dimensional, which isn't surprising since the dialogue is cardboard too. This is the kind of book you thought of writing in 6th grade, but you never made it past the first 5 pages; it looks like Mr Koontz is a little more perseverant, but that's not necessarily a good thing. How this crap ever got past the editor is beyond me. There are a lot of great horror novels out there. Save your money and buy one of those instead. You'll be grateful you did.
