  The Darkest Evening of the Year

  I liked the portrayal of the dogs and I liked the portrayals of the villains. I enjoyed this book all the way up to the deus ex machina ending which was too much of a cop out for me.

  Since I'm used to read Koontz in my native language, that's Italian, I was rather curios to find out how it was read his books in His native language so in my vacation in Ireland I've picked up a book of him that I've not read yet and... it was quite amazing since it's even more readable than the Italian version. The book run to the end quite fast and as for every other Koontz's book I was nailed to it since the first page till the last.<br />Overall is a good book, but what make the difference, in my opinion, is that Koontz write in a way that is a pleasure to read.

  Pay Attention Dog Lovers!

  This is not the Dean Koontz I was introduced to in False Memory. This was a totally enjoyable read. It was gripping - I simply could not put it down. And, as a bonus, the dogs were endearing. Loved it!

  Not one of Koontz's best, but given his prolific writings, not unexpected. Not a bad story, just forgettable but not unenjoyable.
