Unabridged Edition - 8 cassettes - 13 hours play timeRead by: Jay O. SandersCan Koontz write a bad novel? He can write some not as good as some of his others, but never a BAD one.This particular Koontz audio sorta reminded me of other Koontz books. In this one, he has a good story idea, that of having a 20 year old with supernatural powers trying to rid the world of people he himself, felt didn't belong. Sorta sounds like SUPERMAN! I think Koontz did an outstanding job in making the apparitions scary enough, without getting too morbid. I liked the narrative by a DOG especially well. I'm a dog lover, and if my dog could think and talk, this is what I imagine him to be able to do. It's hard to guess what is causing the terrifying beasts to appear, or to determine who is behind their appearance. Maybe you can guess! This isn't my favorite Koontz novel, but it "listen-worthy".I think you'll enjoy it - it's long enough to take you through a whole week of commuting!Wiley Coyote

1993. A little bit older but well worth it. Like some of his books it goes back and forth from character to character only to relate them together in the end.

Every time I think Dean Koontz has written his best book, I read another one and like it even more than the one I read before. Dragon Tears may be my all time favorite Koontz book with the possible exception of Fear Nothing and Odd Thomas. A great story, very very suspenseful, and characters you really care about and root for. Plus a great dog. This book has it all. I highly recommend this one for any Koontz fans.
