...the full (he’s got this from reading self-help improvements books by a guy called Dr Caesar Zedd).

You then get to meet Barty (Bartholomew Lampion). You meet him by meeting his parents first, Agnes and Joey and Mr Koontz ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: A good read - hard to put down
Disadvantages: Bit of an anti-climax

...idea of many worlds sprung from our choices and decisions that we make in life. The simple description of the tree being ingenious and so clear. A lovely read, altough sometimes sad, but none the less, one of his best works. Slightly disappointed at the end with such a quick climax to the story and disposal of the "villian" Would have been nice to get an insight in to the land of bugs!! ... Read review

Advantages: Will keep you entertained for hours
Disadvantages: You won't want to put it down

This is the one book that has stayed in my mind for years and I can read over and over again. Dean Koontz has a way of keeping you mesmorised for hours. This book has been written in a way that only Dean Koontz can do, and its impossible to describe and I'd highly recommend reading this book. It is about an 8 year old boy who has lost his Dad, but isn't sad about losing his Dad because he is able to step between 'worlds' and in another 'world' his ... Read review

Advantages: Heart felt, well written and hopeful
Disadvantages: a bit silly, and liable to rot your teeth

...of wise men and produced From The Corner Of His Eye. it was a different turn for the writter whose work has always been tinged with a basic desire for hope in all situations. Here the hope for the goodness in humanity is turned up a notch, where if we believe in someone as good as Bart and his mother we can also believe in the good of others. That all sounds a bit saccarine and the more I re-read it the more suggary it becomes but at the heart ... Read review

Advantages: Insight into the human phykey.
Disadvantages: It's quite long

I read this novel about 1 year ago, the story struck me right away, The way Koontz describes the character's thoughts and feelings was as if you were right there with them. Vivid story telling helps this incredible story along. One particular chapter was very detailed, one of the main character's was in a car accident she thought she was going to die. What she saw what she thought was so real it almost brought me to tears. There are many points in ... Read review
