4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner, December 30, 2003

By	Theresa W (mi, usa) - See all my reviews

With a great premise for the story, can Koontz pull it off? Stuck in a car with a young boy traveling across country with a crazed killer following you, closing in...And pull it off Koontz does.

I enjoy reading Koontz for several reasons, the least of all being that he scares the pants off of me! While the plots may not be very realistic, they terrify you, fill you with suspense & dread and they probably keep you up and night either reading or afraid of the dark!

Shattered isn't his best book, that's why I only gave it 4 stars, however, it is a good book. Most of what Koontz touches seems to turn to gold and this book is no different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, quick read, February 27, 2006

By	Megan (Richland, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I thought this book was interesting. Not the best Koontz book, but worth the read. It took only 2 days to read, even faster if you like reading for extended periods. I would recommend it. I suppose the ending could be better but it wasn't horrible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Koontz brings out worst fear, February 17, 2006

By	Kris (Norwich, CT USA) - See all my reviews

It took me three days to finish this book. I couldn't put it down. I liked how Koontz not only wrote from Doyle's perspective but also through other characters in the book. This book struck a little to close to reality. There are nutcases out there and what if one of them decides to follow you home. I really enjoyed the whole idea of the plot. The ending was also good. He left the ending right where it should have ended. I recommend this book. It was quick and easy to get into.
