"This is a bewitching story of an alien presence in the Montana woods that goes after the protagonists one-by-one. A terrifically suspenseful tale, this one will have you in its grips if you don't give up on it for the rich, sometimes overdone descriptions."
— A. (5 out of 5 stars)
" ok not much a fan of alien stuff "
— Connie, 2/12/2014" this one has one of the greatest starts to any of Koontz's books. I loved it. Very eerie and compelling. "
— Charles, 2/1/2014" read Koontz in high school, so i don't remember enough of the plots to give them fair reviews. One day i might go back and read these novels; but for now, Mr Koontz gets the Agent Orange Star System. "
— John, 1/31/2014" I thought Winter Moon was one of Koontz's scariest by far! "
— Suey, 1/25/2014" A compelling story, Koontz combines science-fiction elements with his typical thriller novel. There's also a labrador retriever in this book. "
— Carson, 1/23/2014" I was rather disappointed by this book. It started out with some great characters and the plot could have been interesting, but it soon became a trite formula embellished with good descriptive prose. This story lacked the imaginative plot development, the unexpected twists and turns that I expected from Koontz. Honestly, I skipped ahead to read the last chapter and it ended exactly as I thought it would. "
— Sherry, 1/15/2014" Started off strong, but like many Koontz novels, it all falls apart in the last hundred pages. Actually some very creepy scenes in this book - quite rare for Koontz. "
— Aaron, 1/15/2014" Like most of Koontz books didn't get interesting until pieces started coming together. This is one of his better books "
— Rachel, 1/14/2014" As always Dean Koontz aims to please, kind of dragged at first, but the last half of the book, I read all at one time, couldn't put it down! "
— Jessica, 1/5/2014" Alien from another dimension tries to take over a family. "
— Kjirsten, 1/2/2014" I know this is an old book and I'm not big on audio books but had to have something to drown out co-worker's irritating humming. it was okay. I think i would have liked it much better as a real book. "
— Kim, 12/31/2013" Enjoyed the book. Toward the end it was as if I could not turn the pages fast enough in order to know what was happening next. "
— Darlene, 12/25/2013" The story caught me excited as I turn to pages.like it ! "
— Cathy, 11/4/2013" This book was pretty good.. quite suspenseful. "
— Diane, 10/31/2013" Modest. Needed a quick audiobook and this was available from library immediately. Should have known better, I'm not a horror fan. So, didn't think much of the book, but my bad for picking it. "
— Glee, 8/22/2013" This book drove me a little nuts as I was much more interested in one family's story over anothers in the book. It got better towards the end but not one of my favorite Koontz books. "
— Julie, 8/12/2013" Enjoyed this one.. creepy and quite slow paced until the last third of the book when the tension really builds quickly a must read for the creepy raccoons "
— Helene, 3/26/2013" It was fine until half-way through. I couldn't even finish it. "
— Kyle, 3/12/2013" A cop in LA is wounded, and will not walk for months. He moves his family to Monatna, where the dead try to take them over. "
— Debbie, 2/19/2013" Couldn't figure out how the 2 stories were going to fit together -- was surprised! I liked this one. "
— Wind, 2/2/2013" A waste of time on a waste of time book. Horror with no value other than being something to read. An "evil" being appears in Montana to traumatize the already shaken family of an LA cop-hero. I read this in 24 hours of sheer boredom. "
— Bookman8, 1/29/2013" Not my cup of tea. "
— Joan, 12/30/2012" well this book is written by one of my favorite aiuthors of all times "Dean Koontz". This book was okay but not one of fav. from this specific author.. "
— Josue, 12/13/2012" It was very formulaic even for Koontz. "
— Tony, 10/26/2012" One of Koontz's better books, it kept me riveted up until the last few pages but the ending was a bit sudden and anti-climactic IMO. "
— Karen, 9/13/2012" Took some very itneresting turns but I loved where it ended up! "
— Paul, 6/27/2011" I'd give this one 2.5 stars if I could. I thought it was okay. The characters weren't especially interesting or engaging. The aliens were pretty creepy, which held my interest, but I wanted more excitement. "
— Steven, 6/24/2011" Koontz hooks the reader from the first page in this creepy, suspenseful page-turner. "
— Brittany, 4/30/2011" This book was really hard to get into, and I am not a Sci-Fi fan, but for the most part it was pretty good. I loved his discriptions. "
— Jade, 4/17/2011" Like many of Koontz's books, the details are amazing, however, the ending was very abrupt. "
— Nessa, 4/7/2011" As always Dean Koontz aims to please, kind of dragged at first, but the last half of the book, I read all at one time, couldn't put it down! "
— Jessica, 1/1/2011" slow to start with lots of info on what a character is thinking...over and over....but a scary fast ending. "
— Susan, 12/6/2010" It had wonderful build-up in the first half of the book and then it was disappointing in the execution. The second half seemed a little rushed. "
— Neisys, 12/4/2010" I could not get past the third CD once aliens were mentioned. The storyline was not interesting. "
— SueAnn, 11/28/2010" very good. Had a little trouble in the beginning, but then it took off. I raced through the last half. A good read. "
— Driftwood, 10/16/2010" I thought Winter Moon was one of Koontz's scariest by far! "
— Suey, 10/11/2010" This was my introduction to Dean Koontz. An amazingly good read. Koontz's best writing attribute is his character development, and this great book is no exception. I've found very few Koontz titles I haven't liked. "
— Bethany, 9/27/2010" A horror book that completely failed to even scare me a little. What can I say? A Fail. "
