Dean Koontz--Intensity

Koontz strikes again with another riveting novel that will not only keep your eyes glued to the pages, but also create a certain sense of emotional stress and strain that is very rare in modern suspense novels. Revolving around psych-student Chyna Shepeard, who is thrust into mayhem when the family she is staying with is brutally murdered by a psychopath, this novel's first 150 pages are absolutely fantastic. While trying to escape the evils of this horrific kiler, Chyna learns more about what motivates this beast and how she can actually save his future victims. The middle of the book is Koontz's only downfall because it tends to lag and some readers may loose some interest after an action-packed, gruesome first third of the novel. However, momentum builds to the climax in which Chyna fights not only her terrifying attacker, but her inner demons as well. A novel not for the squeamish...but then again...what Koontz novels are? Certainly one of his scariest of the 90s and a great read for any fans of Koontz or the genre. - an Amazon customer review
