  • The absolute WORST BOOK Koontz has written

    I've been reading Dean Koontz since I was 12, I'm now 24. Anytime a new one comes out I grab it up and plow through it. This book is utter garbage. Let me sum up the book and save you the time of reading this pile: - 2 couples - one is crazy ina n evil way, the other is crazy is a simply stupid "let me slowly divulge my past to shed light on why i'm such a spastic person" thing. Nothing but confessions that are supposed to have huge emotional weight to the characters to add depth. The characters have about as much substance as a piece of toilet paper at BEST. - Long story short it's all about how great golden retrievers are, thats it. He could have saved time by selling a pamphlet about why he thinks we should all own a shiny yellow dog. Gag me with a chew toy. A squeaky one. - The ...

  • Should have been great, but the ending is awful

    I'm a big Koontz fan, and have stuck with him even through the more mystical bent of some of his recent books. And despite the fact that this new one reads like a giant ad for golden retriever rescue...the storyline is a good one. Amy's backstory is intriguing, but still a surprise when you finally get to all of it. I wish "Moonchild" had been given more backstory as well - why is she so self-center and psychotic - but it doesn't hamper the overall effect. There are 65 good chapters to this book, and they'll keep you reading long since bedtime. The last, however, is terrible. Koontz builds to a dramatic, "oh no what now" finale...and then produces a hamhanded, "and ta-da, they all lived happily ever after" final 2 pages that will leave you stunned and wondering...where's the REAL end ...

  • Books are Better on EBAy

    I am an avid reader and purchasing the hardback editions from my fav authors can become expensive. I have been hooked on Dean Koontz for years. I was able to purchase this copy of "The Darkest Evening of the Year" for a fraction of the listed price. As an avid dog lover, I was eager to see how Koontz could take one of the most beloved dogs, a golden retriever, a make it a central character in a horror story. I urge other ebayers to search the site for your fav authors, genres or required texts for school. This book is not a typcial, lite summer read but I believe Koontz has well deveolped characters and will keep his fans satisfied - or horrified.

  • Suspense & Evil Lurking at Every Corner

    If you are a dog lover, you will buy this book about Golden Retrievers. Very good story with lots of compassion, love, evil and suspense. There was too much storyline about "Moonchild" which I thought was disruptive and disappointing where as the author could have put more about Amy and her rescue dogs. Not the best of Koontz, but still a very good story.

  • Great Read - The Darkest Evening of the Year

    The Darkest Evening of the Year - Great Read - highly recommended. Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. No one is surprised when Amy risks her life to save Nickie, nor when she takes the female golden into her home. The bond between Amy and Nickie is immediate and uncanny. Even her two other goldens, Fred and Ethel, recognize Nickie as special, a natural alpha. But the instant joy Nickie brings is shadowed by a series of eerie, ominous, and invasive incidents.--From publisher's description. In this latest thriller from bestselling author Dean Koontz, an animal rescue worker is stalked by a dark figure from her past.
