This book was a let-down. It had some interesting ideas and the writing style could be engaging, but the cons outweigh the pros. There are too many characters that read more like character analyses than real people. Koontz would have done…

Out of the literal dozens of Koontz's novels that I've read over the years, this one has never been one of my favorites. It has its spooky and disturbing moments, but it seems oddly aimless, with very little character or plot development.

Though it's an old review, I completely agree with GManBruce's comment!

I suspect commenter, shanauer, is on target! This book, and some of Koontz's other books, don't ring true to his previous writing - - wouldn't at all be surprised if he contracted out the writing under his name - - very disappointing, as…

Boring and elementary

I am loyal Dean R. Koontz fan, However, I am sad to report that this book was overly descriptive to the point where nothing happens until three-quarters of the story is read. Character development is so fragmented, their backgrounds are…

It was a little too creepy for my taste, but what i did read was actually pretty decent. Im sure the rest of it would have been amazing, if i had read it. I'm just not a fan of horror.

I'm a huge Koontz fan. However, this book was terrible! Not just his worst novel, but one of the worst I've ever read. Almost put it down several times, but hoped that Mr. Koontz would some how redeem himself in the end. No such luck.…

Very enjoyable book! He had me wondering what was going on and what was going to happen pretty much all the way through. Some rather large plot holes, but I still liked it. Couldn't help but think this would make a great Dr. Who episode…

As a big Dean Koontz fan this book was disappointing. I do think this was a good concept but it was lost around the fragile way this story was told. On the first half of the book I a hard time getting into it because he dedicated a page…

I've seen the other comments on this book and it sems that no one really liked it very much. I took a long time to read it, and it did start out pretty slow, but the basic premise wasn't bad. I did not like the ending too much. The…

I'm stunned at the awfulness of this book. Reading it was like trying to slog through thick mud while wearing heavy boots. I finally gave up about midway through. I decided no matter what the payoff might be it simply wasn't worth the…

As an on-again, off-again fan of Koontz, I'm convinced that someone else (someone who's not a very good writer, in fact) writes most of his books now. So, this is a bad one- cannot compare to any way to Koontz when he's "on." Yet another…

I managed to get about 1/3 of the way through, but I just couldn't get into it... It was slow and boring, dragging on and on. As a huge Koontz fan, I was very disappointed.

i really didn't like this book - it was quite confusing at some points but it lacked the exciting ending.

Tedious and verbose.

This book gets NO STARS!! When I was reading it I kept saying out loud "GET TO THE POINT!" I put the book down and didn't pick it back up after I read the chapter about the maid wanted to quit because she saw something evil. Well the…

Usually I can't put Dean Koontz's books down until the end, but I found myself confused a couple times throughout the book, and actually put it down to do other things several times. His ideas where great, but I feel the book may have…

I am waiting to read this, hope it is up to my expectations . I love Koontz. His 'out of the box' ideas are awesome. The only series I can't get into are the Frankenstein series.

I have tried and tried to get into this book, and although I love Dean Koonts, this one just threw me off. It was to confusing and the sentences seemed to run on and on and on.... just like that.... I may try again at a later date...

I don't think Mr. Koontz has ever let me down. This one is no exception. I mean, just like other novelists, this guy has had a couple of "not quite up to his par" releases so don't get me wrong. "77" is a great ride with an intriguing…
