A thrill... but not thrilling
Rating  (3)

Eyes of Darkness was an interesting listen on audio. I was hit with the plot almost immediately with Tina sighting of her son, Danny. The book continues with Tina juggling her career and ex husband as strangle things begin happening. First it is the sighting, then the messages on the chalk board, Tina is hearing noises at night and the temperature during these activities, seems to drop in the room.
While listening to this audio I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but this book did not have the Dean feeling to it. It almost felt amateurish compared to what I am used to finding in his books. The scenes were a bit unreal, the characters a bit underdeveloped.
It wasn't until the end of the audio when Dean did one of the things I love about his books, that I figured out what was missing. Dean Koontz always has a little synopsis in the back of his books as to how the book came to be. He is funny and quick witted and I really enjoy that. What I discovered is that this is actually one of his older books, this one came out even before I had started reading him all those years ago. He had not yet diveloped his flare, and says so in this end piece. He also said that the book was re-released because it was going to be made into a movie. Was. The story behind this - the development team, the agents, all of it, is told in hilarious Koontz fashion. This alone made the time I spent in the audio worth while.

I loved this Book, I didn't want to put it down. I am a Dean Koontz fan and I enjoy all his books. I love how weird things happen to regular people and I love finding out how they get out of or fix the situation.

This is an amazing book. Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down just like all the other books by Dean Koontz. He keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole book. Love the perfect balance between love and action. I think this is such a good idea. I love how Dean explains his ideas for his books thoroughly and do not just leave you hanging. Every time I finish another one of his books, he has me thinking...it could happen. This book is definitely a must buy and a must read.

Page turner

What's more heartbreaking than a parent losing a child? But what about the parent that has the nagging feeling that their child is not lost to them - that in some way their child is not dead. That is exactly what Tina Evan's is facing when peculiar happens begin to occur in The Eyes of Darkness, leaving Tina to wonder if her ex-husband is getting even with her for letting Danny go on a wilderness campout, despite her ex reluctance. But the mother and son bond is strong and Danny is intent on getting his mother's attention through ghostly and creepy intervention. This breathless thriller is a true page turner, with a reader hoping for resolution for 12 year old Danny and the torture in which he lives. A good thriller ride, especially for a new Koontz fan just getting wet. Tamera Lawrence, author of THE POND

I am an avid Dean Koontz fan & I am always pleased to find one of his books that I have not read & at a reasonable price. I did both with this purchase. Very satisfied!
