Search - Demon Seed

Does anyone remember the movie from the late 70's early 80's based on this book?
Great thriller, suspenseful and one you shouldn't read on a weekend alone... You'll get paranoid.

Pretty good book. Koontz does a great exploration of the way abusers justify and rationalize their abuse, and blame it on the victims. He also does an eerie send up of the sociopath's manipulation of our sympathies and gullibilities. All done with computers! I'm glad that I read it. It's not his very BEST writing, but it certainly is thought provoking and worth the read.

This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. It just didn't have the psychological impact that other of his books have had.

Not Koontz's best work, but you can't go wrong with a sociopathic computer with a god complex.

If you squinted, you could see earlier echos of his Frankenstein series.

This book is for avid Dean Koontz readers only, in my opinion. The content would be very strange to anyone not used to Koontz' writing style and content choice. Beyond that, it is an interesting read and I did enjoy it for the most part although there was some repetition that I felt the story could do without. If you like Dean Koontz, you will probably like this book but this shouldn't be your first read from this author.

I liked the fact that the story was told through the computer's point of view. I think that the ending was a little abrupt and rushed. Overall it was a pretty good read.
