Death and Beyond
Review of Hideaway - Dean Koontz by
wiggglypufff
Advantages: Totally compelling read, no 'filler' content
Disadvantages: Puts some of Koontz's other novels to shame
...Dean Koontz at his best. Hideaway is a fantastically descriptive novel that succeeds in doing what I feel good writing should, it fills your mind with images, totally absorbs you, takes you away from the boundaries of normality and introduces you to a world that is beyond the average imagination, frighteningly surreal.
You’re given little tasters of the plot developing as it twists and turns throughout the book but never too much at a time. ...

There is no hiding from it.
Review of Hideaway - Dean Koontz by
Manx
Advantages: A superb book.
Disadvantages: The film - ignore it.
They made a film out of this book. That, I feel, is always a good sign that the book is worth reading. Read the book and ignore the film. No, wait, you must from the film –it is awful.
Hideaway is a masterpiece of modern occult style lore - demons and technology, medicine and fate. Koonz uses established techniques to keep the reader with the book once they’ve opened it; a tragic and horrific crash and then he very quickly slides comfortably into ...

Quick review of Hideaway - Dean Koontz
Review of Hideaway - Dean Koontz by
scarletpurity
After the near-death-experiment, a hero finds out he has a psychic connection with the sadistic young serial killer, Satan-worshipping Vassago, who tries to find him and his family. Constant and somewhat sleazy misuse of the medical word "psychotic" aside (dictionary, Dean, dictionary!), Koontz simply cannot make his story and characters interesting or entertaining.
