Narration To Books The Taking
In one of the most dazzling books of his celebrated career, Dean Koontz delivers a masterwork of page-turning suspense that surpasses even his own inimitable reputation as a chronicler of our worst fears-and best dreams. In The Taking he tells the story of a community cut off from a world under siege, and the terrifying battle for survival waged by a young couple and their neighbors as familiar streets become fog-shrouded death traps. Gripping, heartbreaking, and triumphant in the face of mankind's darkest hour, here is a small-town slice-of-doomsday thriller that strikes to the core of each of us to ask: What would you do in the midst of The Taking.Rating Based On Books The Taking

The last Koontz book I'll read. It's all dogs all the time. It's a tired motif. And Space Alien Satan didn't do it for me either.Many years ago I read and enjoyed several of this author's books although I can't recall much about them now. So it was with a pleasant anticipation that I picked up this book and at first I found it interesting and creepy. Molly wakes in the middle of the night due to very heavy rain that has not managed to wake her husband, and she goes downstairs. She sees that the rain is luminous and it has driven a lot of coyotes onto her porch. The animals look terrified of something out in the rain which
I'm not sure what "shelf" to put this book on. I grabbed it from our employee lending library this week out of desperation. I think I need to create a "Yuck" or "Eeep... gross!" or "Scenes will reappear in a nightmare sometime in the very near future". ''You know, fellow readers, you really have to be careful of what you put in your head. It's like that book "Event Horizon" that I also borrowed from work. I'll start reading a passage and realize that this is not at all stuff, images, that you
After being awoken by an uncharacteristically powerful, oddly fragrant, and eerily luminescent rainfall, Molly and Neil Sloan discover that some kind of alien takeover of the Earth is in progress. Scared beyond wit's end but knowing that they are not going to give up without a fight, the couple pack up supplies and venture out into the darkness to discover if any of their neighbors are still alive and who would be willing to take up arms against an enemy who has yet to show himself. As time
Leave it up to the literary equivalent of Wonderbread that Koontz is to mess up even something as fun an an alien invasion story. Actually I don't know if comparing him to Wonderbread might not be misleading due the word wonder in the brand name, something that is always in deficit in Koontz' work. But to pick up Koontz' book with all the great books that are out there would be like passing by a freshly baked baguette for a loaf of Wonderbread and for the sake of this analogy let's assume the
Still the most terrifying book I've ever read :D This is one of my top four favorite Koontz books and I've read it many times. This is a book that makes me want to hide under something since putting it in the freezer is seriously insufficient. It's the kind of book that makes me wan to read it out of the corner of my eye (which doesn't actually work) and jump right out of my skin at the slightest noise. Surprisingly, it didn't make me totally paranoid about the basement.I had a friend with a
