This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is amazing, spine-tingling and thought provoking at once. I never wanted it to end & I recommend it to anyone who will listen!

I've read many books by Koontz before, but this was the first one that I just could not quit reading, and the first one that kept me up all night listening for strange noises. Wonderful creepy apocalyptic novel.

Freaky end of the world scenario. I thought that it took far too long to explain and the tension never really let up throughout the whole book.

reviewed The Taking on
This story hooks you in quickly and definitely makes you start looking over your shoulder. Koontz is a master of sprinkling in clues throughout the storyline that all make sense in the end. From reading other reviewers, it seems the only people who weren't fans of the book were ones that didn't quite get it. This may be one of those books worth going back and reading a second time if you first finished confused or disappointed.
