Walking where the rain isnt
Review of From The Corner Of His Eye - Dean Koontz by sue26

Advantages: Great read
Disadvantages: A wee bit long

...lives and will keep jumping from one person`s story to the next, so unless you follow it closely you`ll forget what`s happened in the last chapter. However I love this type of writing style because it will leave one person`s life with something gripping about to happen, then move onto the life of somebody different, making you read really fast till the story gets back to the previous person and you can pick up where you left off. What makes this ...
...his eye`, is actually taken from a paragraph about 3/4 of the way through the book. The main character of the book is Bartholomew Lampion, known by everyone as Barty. An exceptionally clever little boy whose sight is suddenly taken away from him by cancer. Although I wouldn`t really describe the story as a true horror one, the tale of little barty`s rise from baby to child is more fantasy, as he doesn`t exactly follow the norm as far as child development ...

One Of His Best
Review of From The Corner Of His Eye - Dean Koontz by Staggly

Advantages: One of the best of his works
Disadvantages: Not long enough!

...most part he’s good), but From The Corner Of His Eye was better than I could of hoped. First off, anyone who plans to pick this up, PLEASE don’t read the synopsis on the jacket of the book. It doesn’t really tell the story, just points out a major event that occurs over halfway through the book and you are just waiting for it to happen. Without giving too much away the story is basically a group of people going about their own ...
...know that this is far from Horror. There are no Ghosts or Goblins lurking anywhere in this story and the only Evil is that which we see in any Serial killer or similar ‘regular’ person, so if put off by the Horror title, please do not be as this ain’t horror. At times incredibly moving and upsetting it is also funny and makes you feel good to be alive. Filled with great characters you’ll find hard to forget and twists a’plenty, ... Read review

A superb novel
Review of From The Corner Of His Eye - Dean Koontz by LukeCroll

Advantages: Will appeal to any Koontz fan
Disadvantages: Very long

...his eyes to save him from cancer. However, at thirteen, he becomes able to see again. A roller coaster and a seagull both have something to do with this miracle, as does Barty’s desire to make his mother proud of him before she dies. The odd thing is that she has already died once – the day Barty was born. The cover blurb for this novel is certainly one of the most interesting blurbs I have seen in a long time and it goes hand in hand ...
...this novel, these words disappear from sigh (apart from ‘blacktop’). In addition, dogs normally play a huge role in his novels and here, a golden retriever makes only a tiny appearance. He also does not quote from ‘The Book Of Counted Sorrows’, something quite astonishing. His characters are superb. His villain is one of the nastiest he has created simply due to the fact he cannot see himself for what he really is. He views ... Read review

Eyes front
Review of From The Corner Of His Eye - Dean Koontz by Pobs

Advantages: Return to classic Koontz
Disadvantages: None

...the full (he’s got this from reading self-help improvements books by a guy called Dr Caesar Zedd). Unfortunately Junior has taken this to the extreme, and started to kill people (mainly due to the fact that he believes he is intelligent, very handsome – irresistible to women in fact – and that he can literally get away with murder). You then get to meet Barty (Bartholomew Lampion). You meet him by meeting his parents first, Agnes and Joey and Mr ...
...to wring every possible emotion from the reader during the course of the story. His characters are extremely well written (in particular, Junior who is one of the most disturbed individuals I ever read about in a fiction book). He weaves his characters’s stories together with a craftsmanship not often seen and makes the smallest, most insignificant conversation count at a later date. I totally enjoyed reading this book, and if you fancy snuggling ... Read review

Great holiday reading
Review of From The Corner Of His Eye - Dean Koontz by Skywriter

Advantages: Compulsive page-turner
Disadvantages: You could be up all night reading it

...might be able to move from one such universe to another. It’s hardly a new idea, and yet Koontz gives it a freshness and scientific plausibility. Is ‘From the Corner of His Eye’ Koontz’s best book to date? I wouldn’t go that far. To my mind his best are the ‘Moonlight Bay’ novels, ‘Seize the Night’ and ‘Fear Nothing’. The quality of writing in these is mesmerising, and to anyone who ...
...His Eye’ is currently available from Tesco’s for the unlikely (but great value) price of £3.84. I’ve also seen it on sale at a bargain price at my local Safeway. If you’re looking for some holiday reading, slip a copy in your suitcase, but be warned that once you start you’ll find it very hard indeed to put down! ... Read review
