Cons: The killers' identity.

The Bottom Line: A real page-turner.

Review: Normally, I don’t read much pop fiction, but every now and then, I’ll have a book suggested to me to read. Its not that I don’t like authors like John Grisham, Tom Clancy, or Michael Crichton – on the contrary, they tell wonderful stories – but its just ...

Pros: Main character, impressive set-up, tightly plotted

Cons: Some typical Koontz rambly philosophizing toward the end

The Bottom Line: Murder and mayhem, it's Bloody Knife goodness!

The Bottom Line: Velocity is a surprisingly great read from author Dean Koontz. I highly recommend it!

Review: My father recently read Velocity by Dean Koontz and he said it was really weird, but he just couldn’t stop reading it. I’ve read Koontz before and I always thought his books were somewhat ‘simple’ and mediocre. Velocity has changed my ...

Pros: Very strong character and premise...

Pros: Good plot, nice details.

Cons: A little predictable, a little blah here and there.

Review: Not Dean's best book, but a good read. I liked not knowing what was around each corner. Dean has a way of writing, with many details, that sometimes leaves you breathless. I love the gory details in his books. I have been scared a time or two while ...

Cons: some scenes are just disturbing

The Bottom Line: Suspense-junkies and Koontz fans won't be disappointed.

Review: I love to read all the time but during the school year it is usually limited to textbooks and fast/easy chick lit novels. I read the textbooks at work and the chick lit at night before I fall asleep. Anything that doesn’t fall into those two ...
