Book Reviews of Twilight Eyes
Book Review: Oh ye of little faith...
Summary: 4 Stars
By the time I read this Koontz tale, I had come to expect a frenetic pace and a quick, gripping page turner. You die-hards know what I'm talking about: boom! boom! boom!- pulse pounding, blood-pressure raising action coming at you on a constant, unrelenting basis. I didn't find that here. In fact, for the first time I quite nearly abandoned reading a Koontz, thinking it may just be a dud. Which is, quite honestly, unthinkable!
Mayyyybe I was just having a bad day, because I ended up feeling this was one of Koontz's highest quality tales ever.
Oh ye of little faith, please give this one a second chance. You won't be disappointed that you did. One of Koontz's best, and deserves 4-1/2 stars.
Book Review: This book fricken rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book so much. It's not as heart-poundingly terrifying as some of my favorite Koontz books are, but is such an amazing story nonetheless. Or maybe it's just that it's written so well.
Koontz has a way of making me feel like I have learned an insight into the meaning of life after some of his better novels, none moreso than this one.
The main character, "Slim", though only 17/18 in the book, is the type of person you want to be more like. I am a 26 year old woman and I want to be more like him. Basically it just means that as always, Koontz creates the best characters of any author out there.
The story itself is not overly intense, but very intriguing and thoughtful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story with amazing characters and a great satisfying ending. Those who only want to be freaked out at a fast pace may not enjoy it as much.
Book Review: My first, and still the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first Dean Koontz book I ever picked up, and it's still my favorite. It sparked off a love of Koontz that will probably last till I die. He quickly became my favorite author. Much like King, with a homier, friendlier feel, and not so much weirdness, Koontz cooks up interesting, intelligent and thought provoking stories. And this one especially is rich in characters and plot. The story he wove was so rich that I actually felt like I was there. And the love story was especially nice. Definitely a must read!Book Review: Very Very long
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was just too long and far fetched for me. It started out good but then it got kinda boring and the ending didn't really do it for me. I wouldn't recommend this book because because the whole idea of these creatures planing for a nuclear war and to take over didn't appeal to me. Book Review: Without a doubt one of his best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Twilight Eyes was my 16th Dean Koontz book. It was definetely one of his best. The story centers around a 17-year-old guy with the bizarre name of Slim Mackenzie who has a psychic ability called "Twilight Eyes". He can see the goblins, evil, monstrous beings disguised as ordinary, everyday human beings. After murdering his goblin uncle who was terrorizing his family unsuspected, Slim runs away to the Sombra Brothers carnival to work as a carnie. There, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful older girl named Rya Raines. Slim is determined to continue his secret war with the goblins, but is he insane, or do such things really exist? Where did the goblins come from? What are they trying to achieve and why?
If your a Koontz fan this is a must, and if you've never read Kootz before, this is a great place to start. Other favorites of mine include Intensity, Watchers, Whispers, The Door To December, The Funhouse, Phantoms, and Hideaway.
