The Face of Fear Dean Koontz Books

Here’s another Dean Koontz for you. The books are getting better, I can tell you that. Now, I may seem to be only reading famous authors. I will let you know this. I have three more books lined up to read by some famous authors and after that I am going to start picking some lesser known authors to read. So, on to The Face of Fear by Dean Koontz.

The Ugly: I loved this book, I am putting that out there right now. But there is one aspect of the book that hurt me. It started out real quick, the pacing was amazing. Then all of a sudden when the action did begin to pick up and the killer was chasing Graham the book just became slow. Fair warning, it slowed way down.

The Bad: There is one part in the slowness of the book that’s not as bad because it does help with figuring out the end of the story. What seemed to be a throw away character at first turned out to be the one to figure out what was going on. He was a medical examiner in the vain of Ducky from NCIS. The point of the part to get the audience thinking for the rest of the book as to what could be going on.

The Good: Everything that Koontz did when it came to explaining. He went into great detail, and unfortunately, that also slowed everything down. Now, granted, that is the ugly of the book, but it is also the best thing of the book. Not everyone is a mountain climber, so when he was telling what was going on, it only helped that he explained everything. Nobody would have known what he was saying if he didn’t go into explanation.

Final Thoughts: All this book did was make me want to try my hand at mountain climbing sometime. I did really enjoy this book, probably more than a lot of people would have.

The Face of Fear Dean Koontz Books Reviews

This is one of Koontz's earlier books and he has a great beginning. Very tense. I couldn't read this while trying to drift off to sleep - too nerve wracking! He has improved so much in developing his characters, but even so, you always root for them. Having read almost all of his books, I can say that Dean Koontz will never disappoint!
The first half was pretty good, but there was too much time spent on the building descent. I realize that was the crux of the story, but it shouldn't take over a hundred pages to do this. Recommended.
I love this author's work in general, but some more and some to a lesser extent. To be fair, I really enjoy the often paranormal/mystical components. This book is short on the paranormal aspect, but high on heart-pounding drama. It is well written, and I would recommend it to others without hesitation.
I love Koontz, but this was not his best work at all. This was one of his earlier books so maybe that is why. The writing was fine, good actually, the story however was boring.
I had to slog through the book, thankfully it was not that long, and the ending was not even a real shock. The same snow storm/blizzard scene really got boring and repetative. I will continue to read Koontz but I would pass on this one.
I watched the made for TV movie a few years ago after reading the book. I like the way Dean Koontz wrote in his early years. His writing skills have changed over the course of his career, and, in my opinion, not always for the best. I purchased the e-audio book, and decided to get the e-book at the same time and utilize Whispersync for Voice. It was very enjoyable to revisit this novel and am glad I added it to my collection.
This is a great story, even decades after being written. Graham, an ex-mountain climber, fear-filled after a serious accident, has developed psychic powers. Show-casing his talent on tv by identifying a demonic serial killer, he becomes the targeted next victim. More suspense than horror, our hero has to battle this sicko with his wits and overcome his fear as he and his girlfriend are stalked in deserted office building. No power, no phone, only his mountaineering skills and luck and one really mean crazy with a gun determined not to give up. I just had to stay up late and find out what happens. Interesting description of climbing technique and a strong sense of place, New York city in a snow storm. Some of the characterizations were weak, but a bit of a twist at the end adds some spice. Guaranteed to keep you flipping through the pages, hanging on a the same imaginary ledge with the hero, praying for the happy ending.
The afterward is right, if u cut through the 98 percent bull. This is one of his earliest works, surprisingly clean, very simple and straightforward for DK. While true that it's missing the twists turns and amazing depth of his imagination u see in his newer works, I think he's just a touch hard on it. This was way better than 99 percent of the general junk being written today. It just falls far short of his newer works. I thoroughly enjoyed it, just not the keep you up all night reading page turners his new stuff is😁.
