Action Packed

A good action packed tale, but hardly one of his best. A cop leaves the evil of LA to find evil in Montana. The fear builds and the use of the 9 year old as a plot driver is good. If you like Koontz, you will like this one, but I bet you will not list it as one of your favorites.

Chilling

When ever you read a story wherein the evil the emotes throughout remains mostly of unknown origins, I find it chilling. In a remote ranch in Montana, things get rather frightening and frecky scary. The winter moon brings out more than the solstice.

Creepy and Disturbing

Well, wow! does this book have punches!! I have to admit to a particular part of the book when Eduardo encounters one of these "Givers" on his front porch. He hears them walking and aproaching his door, he demands a reaponse, but there is none; and finally when he comes face to face with this entity it kills him! Another disturbing part of the story is when little Toby and Jack are out in the cemetary where most of the family appeared to have been buried a few yards from the house and when Jacks tries to figure out what his son, Toby meant by when he said: "Where do we go when we die?" And with that said Toby looked up from the epitaph and looked directly at his father and Jack noticed that it was not his son he was speaking to. His eyes were completly black and it was though you could almost see through to him... THis was beyond scary!!!! I definatly recommecnt this thriller to anyone who isn't scared easily!

PURE GOLD!

This was my first book by Dean Koontz that I had read, and I loved it, it is my favorite book that I have ever read. The storyline was just great, the way he set up the characters, perfect! This is a good page-turner, and it is a VERY suspenseful and creepy book! The action in the novel was great, it could not have been better, 5 stars all the way, I loved it from page one! I am defiantly going to read this book again. If your looking for a good read, then pick up Winter Moon.

One of Koontz's Best!

Being an avid fan of Dean Koontz, I've read my share of his novels. But Winter Moon takes the cake. Koontz's writing in the book is superb. There are a few flaws (Anson Oliver's shooting spree and the events at Quartermass Ranch aren't linked together too well), but everything else makes up for it. Two more notes: I finished reading the book in about two days. You'll hopefully like it as much. Also, the part where Ed finds evidence (dirt, fabric) of the "intruder" is trully creepy. I couldn't sleep!

This novel was my FAVORITE!!

Man, this book had me at some points closing it and then throwing it across my bedroom because it shook me up so much!! To all who said it was lame and wasn't past fifth grade, what grade are you in? I may just read this one again very soon! Great suspense!!
