Narration In Favor Of Books Tick Tock
Creepy fun reading! LAUGHING WHILE CREEPING OUT! This is a great novel, only that curiously when I bought this book, I bought also, another novel by Dean Koontz titled "Life Expectancy" (you can see my review of that book here: Life Expectancy . I comment this, since I found both novels quite similar. Not exactly the general story and developing but the mood of the storyline. I totally adored Life Expectancy and I jumped right after that book to read this one and I was like "Mmh, I'm feeling like deja vú". But don't get me wrong, the stories are totally different but I think that since before of these two books, I hadn't read a Dean Koontz book with such many humor elements, usually you find characters quite likable and some amusing moments where you smile, but so far, my Koont experience was strictly of creepy horror, not creepy fun. And I don't tell this as something bad, since I think that's kinda expected to do standard horror, but crafting stories with clear horror intention, but with such rich funny sense, it's quite cool. Even recently, you find a lot of this in movies and TV series, but at least me, back in 2007, it wasn't something so usual. But I totally embrace it. So, initially, I thought that Life Expectancy was like unique on that angle, but right after I read that one, I found here, in Ticktock, another horror book with rich humor elements. THOSE WONDERFUL WOMEN Another thing that I found quite similar is the female companion character of the main protagonist. On both books, the main protagonist finds a spectacular female character with great personality. So, while I loved both characters in each novel, it didn't help to my "deja vú" feeling. I know that Dean Koontz re-use a lot of elements, like smart dogs, protagonists who like to read and/or are writers, over-detailed towns, etc... and I love his work for all that. As I say, "Tick Tock" is a wonderful horror story with a great humorous ambiance, quite entertaining and a really page-turner. In fact I read it quite quickly. So, I still recommend it a lot. Just try to read this book, Ticktock and Life Expectancy with some time in between of each of them. Quite advisable, if you read something else, of a different genre, in between. I'm sure that you'll enjoy both books!!! Have creepy fun!!!Present Books During Tick Tock

This was a pretty weird story and takes an interesting turn. I loved the fact that the hero was Vietnamese-American, and he sounded like a real cutie. It uses a little bit of Vietnamese folklore which was neat as well. Not my favorite by Koontz, because I thought the ending was strangely absurd and I laughed, and I'm not sure I was supposed to be laughing. It starts out serious and descends into hilarity, and the change in tone was a little jarring for me. Good book all around and great hero.Im not sure when I first read this novel in paperback form, but it was probably right around the time it hit the shelves for sale in 1996. I adored it then, and it remained one of my favorite Koontz novels for a very long time. I thought I would reread it again for the first time since maybe 2000, but this time listen to it in audiobook form. To maybe see if it stood the test of time, and if I loved it just as much. And while Im not quite so adoring of this novel now, as I see its flaws and
This is one of Koontz's more fun, adventurous, pulse-ounding books with lots of unexpected twists and turns to it. As I was reading it, I kept calling it an 'odd book but pretty good,' which is still how I feel about it for the most part. It's a mixture of sci-fi and horror but always with some levity in it and a great Koontz adventure that will leave you breathless with an added element of humor and just a bit of romance. There's an interesting "Note to the reader" at the end of the book that
I read this years ago and I found it thrilling! 9 of 10 stars
I wasn't particularly crazy about this the first time I read it. It's an odd book with some slightly bizarre humor. I knew that he wrote this because the other books he was writing got too intense but I was intrigued by the afterword. Apparently his goal with this was to combine a supernatural thriller with screwball comedy. This explains soooo much.This book is the sole reason that I always hesitate over bringing an unknown package into the house, even though I read it over 15 years ago.Tommy
My first Dean Koontz book, and what an introduction! This book defines what Dean Koontz is all about. He'll reel you in from the first page to the very end, transport you into a world that you're so sure is this but turns out to be that. In this book you actually begin to fear a stupid little rag doll that is more terrifying than Penny Wise (from Stephen King's It) and terribly persistent, and when you find out who's controlling it... Honestly? This book will slap you over and over and over, and
