The Mask Audiobook

" I have a mixed review for this book. When it started it felt too much like a Goosebumps book. It did manage to pick up and somewhere along the way I became swept up in the story line. Towards the end I had trouble setting it aside even for a minute. The most disappointing part of the book was the ending, it was very weak. When I finished the book I was left wondering what happened next, there were still un-answered questions in my mind. "

" A predictable, though still spine-tingling, tale of terror. Definitely not as gripping as some of Koontz other books, but well worth a look for a quick read. The storyline is a little weak, but the characters are believable and likable...making for a decent read. "

" Possibly the worst book ever written. The ending was completely anti-climatic; this book could have used an additional chapter. "

" This one scared me - loved it. "

" A beautiful young girl appears out of nowhere. A teenager with no past, no family--no memories. Carol and Paul were drawn to her. She was the child they'd never had. Most mothers would die for such a darling little angel. And that's what frightened Carol most of all...About the Author Dean Koontz was born in Everett, Pennsylvania, and grew up in nearby Bedford.

" Giving to si cotic "

" A nice horror novel, with, as usual, great characters. Some parts are a bit fantastical, but that's part of the horror genre I guess. The end of the novel felt somehow... less than the earlier parts, as if it were some mediocre Goosebumps story, rather than the Koontz I expected. "

" Very fun read. Not sure about the ending. "

" This was one scary book back in the day! Dean's paperback books was the thing back in the '80's and early '90's. The cover made me see different kinds of Masks in my dreams. "

" Definitely not one of his best works. Once I saw where it was going, I didn't really care for it, but kept reading it just to see how it ended. The ending was very disappointing - very anti-climactic. "

" A good read but not one of DK's best. Reading Koontz about possession and reincarnation, I'm always surprised to remember that he's a pretty fundamentalist Christian. "

" This book started out so well, murder, ghosts, reincarnation, a cat that tries to kill people and then ----- the most pathetically weak ending. Frustrating. "

" I usually like Dean Koontz novels, but I really disliked this one. It was contrived, fairly boring, and it was VERY clear where the story was going after chapter 2. This is a book I wish I'd never read. "

" This is the first Dean Koontz book I have read and although I quite enjoyed it, I felt the ending was very rushed. "

" Dreadful. Among the worst books I've read this year, which is saying something. "

" This wasn't too bad for one of Dean Koontz older books even though the end was pretty predictable. "

" I liked this book, but really felt it was more a young adult book than a classic Dean Koontz horror novel. "

" A great quick spooky read from a master writer...I recommend this book for any fan of great storytelling and those who like vivid written visuals. "

" Pretty spooky! "

" Reincarnation, Poltergiest, and a great back story makes this book very entertaining. I am a huge fan of Koontz and he rarely dissapoints. "

" This was a really quick read, and most of the book had great suspense parts that kept you flying through the pages. I was expecting a great ending because it was all building up in the last 30 pages or so, but was a little disappointed and confused on the ending. "

" Not one of his greatest books. Reminded me a bit like John Saul stories. "

" It was a great book all the way through it. However it ended too abruptly and there seemed to be no actual ending. It almost seems like there were pages missing, though of course there were no pages missing. "

" This was an alright book for me. An easy book to pass an afternoon with. Just not my favorite story line. "

" It has an interesting storyline, for a while I didn't understand the prologue but in the end it all starts to come together. I thought it was a good book to read in bed at night when it's dark out, because it has a dark tone to it and it's creepy and suspenseful, and it sends chills down your spine. "

" Picked this book reading the backstory, a grave mistake in itself. There is nothing worth mentioning about this book. Just go with the flow of the writing, but do not expect any bone chilling moments or sleepless nights. I just wished it could have been better. "

" One of those Dean Koontz ones thst was like YAHHH...Wait, that's the end?? "

" Couple on the verge of adoption begins experiencing phenomena. And so does the close friend. Is something trying to keep them from adoption? Just OK. "

" This is the book that started it all. I loved reading after I took this ride. I have not put a book down since the first time I read this book. "

" Good book, but not a fan of the ending, made my skin crawl everytime they went on about the spiders crawling all over her. "

" This was a really amazing book. I was impressed with how everything turned out. Did not at all expect ending or the reincarnation part of the story. If I say any more about the book, all this review will be is me going on about how good it was. Another wonderful book by Dean Koontz. "

" Horrible! Boring story with no ending. "

" Not bad, but probably won't read again. The ending sucked. Totally left way too much hanging. "

" i was also disappointed in the ending, i even checked another edition to make sure mine wasn't missing the last chapter! "

" holy crap i think this guy has written more books than stephan king "

" Not one of Koontz's best works but a very good read. "

" Entertaining and interesting. Not Koontz's greatest, but it kept me wanting to find out more as I read each chapter. The ending was rather loose, but imagination put together the rest. "
