Customer Reviews

great - no less

I think it's the best of Dean Koontz's work. I loved the suspense; just couldn't put the book down. This is a must read for suspense & horror lovers. I strongly recommend it

Creepy psychological thriller!

I thought that this was one of the best books that I ever read! That is saying a lot for me since I am so picky! This book was a real page turner, and I read it in like three days. The couple grabs your attention right away, I mean who picks up a child on the side of the road? You have to admit, that part is a little creepy to begin with! I read this book back in H.S. so it's hard to remeber a lot of the plot. After reading this book you may never look at hitch hiker's the same way again! If you believe in the idea of past lives, or if you like psychological thrillers than this book is for you!

It will keep you hooked to the chilling end!

From all the books i have read so far, I think none of them can come close to this magnificent piece of story telling. The mask is about reincarnation, and without giving too much of the story away, an ancient rivalry that goes back through the years. Very chilling and well written and as always, Koontz uses his knowledge of the real world to make the story stand out.

I really liked it!

This was one of Koontz's best to me. I liked it. It really keeps you guessing until the last couple of pages. It was very suspensful!! I liked this one as much as The Funhouse. Those are my favorite two so far!

KOONTZ DOES IT AGAIN. UTTERLY SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!

I havn't read many of Koontz's books, but this one is SUPERB. The best ever. It kept me on the edge of my seat (bed), the whole time. I loved it.
