What the Night Knows
I have been a Dean Koontz fan ever since I read his book "Strangers" many years ago. That book to me, was the best story the author ever wrote... until now. "What the Night Knows" is a page-turner, and a ghost story like no other, and written as only Dean Koontz knows how. The terrifying conclusion is a satisfying end to a well written book. A must read for the Koontz fan, and quite possibly, Koontz's best to date.

What the Knight Nose
It had been a while since I last read a Dean Koontz novel and I'd forgotten what a disappointment the last one was. This book was a sad reminder. I love good supernatural fiction and this book looked promising. Despite some distasteful elements, this one caught my interest in the first few chapters due to a good balance between realistic crime fiction and slowly emerging supernatural elements. The book began to degenerate when the focus shifted to the absurdly unrealistic children (especially Minnie), and the author tediously interjected too many misplaced AP English vocabulary words. I never did get what themore

What the Night Knows - Dean Koontz
I have to agree with one of the reviewers and for me also this must be one of the worst books I have ever read. I used to like Dean Koontz, but this book is badly written, badly thought out and it falls between a number of stools. It is not a proper thriller or a supernatural story, it is however a waste of time. Goodbye Dean Koontz and good luck!

Worst book I have ever read!
I used to love Dean Koontz books, however always felt that he struggled to write a satisfactory ending. There were only a few books which I really felt had done him justice when it came to the end. But I always brought his new books because I liked his humour which came out through the course of the book and his great imagination and how I was able to connect with the characters that he was describing. However after following all of his books I noticed that he increasingly seemed to use a thesaurus and that he continually seemed to put long describing words which were unnecessary and sometimes confusing where hemore

I am retired and read a lot. This was the worst book I have read in years.
