Critic reviews

“A razor-sharp, nonstop, suspenseful story.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune

More Praise for Dean Koontz

“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”—The Seattle Times

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”—Associated Press

“In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans.”—Suspense Magazine

“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”—Publishers Weekly

Dragon Tears is not one of my favorite Koontz, but it is not bad. The story is a little preachier than I like and the story is a little Koontz-formulaic. That formula has a mildly interesting supernatural bad guy, strong female cop, a conflicted male cop, a very good dog, and other assorted characters. I found the powers of the bad guy over the top. After a nice setup the story concludes too rapidly without a resounding ending. So, it you love Koontz, give it a try.

Imperfect but still Koontz

Not my favorite koontz book but it was an interesting story. I just didn't like that it didn't explain a lot. I felt like he rushed it towards the end.
