by KCFemme Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 04 '02
Pros: Well thought out story line, depth of characters
Cons: Takes a long time to bring together many plots.

This Momentous Day--A Moment Of Koontz

by Bijou , Jan 27 '01
Pros: A philosophical novel that dwells in the scientific and supernatural.
Cons: The "Final Showdown" scene ended too abruptly!
“Not every coincidence…has meaning. Toss a quarter one million times, roughly half a million heads will turn up, roughly the same number of tails. In the process, there will be instances when heads turn up thirty, forty, a hundred times in a row....

Dean Koontz' From the Corner of His Eye: The Apostle Who?

by AliventiAsylum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 10 '01
Pros: great characters, attention to detail, compelling story
Cons: some of the quantum physics may go over the average reader's head

Koontz delivers wisdom from the corner of his Eye

by flamepillar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Dec 19 '01
Pros: Immensely intriguing. Believable characters. Quarters in cheeseburgers. Infinite possibilities.
Cons: Abrupt climax, perhaps the ending was rushed.
Of the ten or so books that I have read in 25 years, Dean Koontz has taken precedence as my most oft-read author. The Voice of the Night, Watchers, Cold Fire, and finally, Intensity. I haven't touched a book in at least three years, but...

SOMEDAY, MAYBE

by Granniemose , Apr 06 '01
Pros: Beautifully Written. The author is a fantastic writer
Cons: Sub plots - bizarre even for Sci Fi- Disappointing climax
Oh my goodness, Dean has done it again. He started giving the reader high hopes for a good suspense thriller - only to dash those hopes at the climax. Darn it. I wish I didn't enjoy Koonz' writing so much. He puts words together so well that it is...

From the Corner of His Eye - An epic that shouldn't have been so grand

by jkafer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 25 '07
Pros: engaging story, some interesting characters
Cons: Way too long, too many unnecessary characters
Many books have parallel storylines that intertwine and eventually meet up at some point in the book. Such is true of From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz. The story is about 3 separate lives which are seemingly unconnected. Bartholomew is the ...

Why Koonz - the Betty Crocker of literary world...

by gwsmith , Feb 07 '02
Pros: Intense action and emotional tribulations, with a touch of surrealism
Cons: A little over-done, lengthy sections interrupt the flow of the book
I finished this book about a week ago, and I still can’t decide if I liked it, loved it, or just survived it

I usually judge a book by several simple criteria:
1) Do I find myself postponing other more life-critical functions (like eating...

Momentous Beginnings, Disappointing Finale and How They Relate to Quantum Physics

by mariahan , Aug 09 '01
Pros: engaging characters, well-written novel about how an event can influence the future
Cons: abrupt, disappointing ending, bizarre premise
I began reading Dean Koontz novels after seeing the miniseries made of his novel "Intensity" on television several years ago. This miniseries motivated me to read that book, which then lead to reading several other Koontz novels. I usually enjoy the...
