Darkness Under the Sun

This is a typical Koontz book and I find them all a very good listening experience. This story did not hold many surprises for me as I could see where it would go but, despite the horror story itself, which was creepy, I did find it a relaxing listen and worth the effort.

If I had only listened to the story and done nothing else I wouldn't say this was time well spent because it wasn't a story that had much to say. But the story is moderately entertaining and a decent distraction while doing mundane chores.

I have read other Dean Koontz books and plan to read more. He wasn't as good in short story as the novels I've read but this one story didn't really change my mind about Dean Koontz either way. Don't base your sole opinion of the author on this story.

Steven Weber did a pretty good

This is a decent story for a short distraction but not as good as a Dean Koontz novel.

#1 on audio on my kindle is awesome
#2 dean Koontz is my favorite author
#3 Great story as usual
Dean Koontz always keeps you interested thru the whole book,

From page 1 till finished wanted to listen till the end

Steve is one of the better performers

The book is an hour and a half long and it takes about an hour to mow my yard. It made me want to go mow the neighbor's yard, instead I went inside, sat on the couch, drank a beer and finished it.

If you have read any of Koontz, with the exception of the Odd series, then this is exactly what you would expect from him. If you have not read Koontz, get out from under that rock and start here.

This is a bitter-sweet story, with a great main character who is a burn victim. I will not tell you how he got burned or how he deals with it, as that is a big part of the story. Just let me say I like how Koontz deals with it.

My favorite Dean Koontz books are: The Bad Place, Lightning, The Frankenstein series, Forever Odd, Phantoms, Dragon Tears, By the Light of the Moon and the very quirky book "Life Expectancy".

This is a nice, but very short, Koontz. The characters are good if truncated. It ends very quickly with a moral that, although reasonable, was not really well supported by the story. The language is nice and blends darkness and light well. I really like Koontz so this was worth it to me. It was worth the sale price, but silly me I used a whole credit on it.

I thought this was a great story. Kept me interested the whole time and didn't fall short of what I expected.

very good, compelling story

yes, kept wondering where the old man would come back

old man

no, but did make me think

I loved the fact that Howie had enough brains to figure out what was going on early in the game.

I hated that I spent my credit on a book that was so short. As Howie got older, it got a little lost.

Probably not, I was a little disappointed with it.

Didn't really have one this time around

Not really, just don't let your kids talk to strangers.

Dean could have done a little better on this one.

The crazy twist near the middle.

The voice of the narrator of the monster.

The monster

Absolutely, but since I know it would still be there, I was able to walk away from it at times.

But that's the chance you take with Koontz. One book captures you from beginning to end and then next can be sooooooo weird. This wasn't my favorite Koontz.
