Description As Books The Taking

In one of the most dazzling books of his celebrated career, Dean Koontz delivers a masterwork of page-turning suspense that surpasses even his own inimitable reputation as a chronicler of our worst fears-and best dreams. In The Taking he tells the story of a community cut off from a world under siege, and the terrifying battle for survival waged by a young couple and their neighbors as familiar streets become fog-shrouded death traps. Gripping, heartbreaking, and triumphant in the face of mankind's darkest hour, here is a small-town slice-of-doomsday thriller that strikes to the core of each of us to ask: What would you do in the midst of The Taking.

Assessment Out Of Books The Taking

I'm not sure what "shelf" to put this book on. I grabbed it from our employee lending library this week out of desperation. I think I need to create a "Yuck" or "Eeep... gross!" or "Scenes will reappear in a nightmare sometime in the very near future". ''You know, fellow readers, you really have to be careful of what you put in your head. It's like that book "Event Horizon" that I also borrowed from work. I'll start reading a passage and realize that this is not at all stuff, images, that you

This book is on the weird side. I felt like it had this great middle part but no real beginning and no real end. He dives right into the action in the first chapter. But never provides much back story for the main characters, even though Molly's father and past are somewhat essential to the plot. Kootnz hinted at some important sub points with her mother that never got developed either (like the quasi visions of her protective mother later).The book is a straight up sci fi with lots of alien

Definitely not one of his greatest works but it was an interesting story. Honestly I bought the book thinking it was about a kidnapping for some reason (I must have had it confused with another book), imagine my surprise when war of the worlds breaks loose in the first few pages. I liked this book because it was different, it has a decent twist and it does leave you wanting more. . . to keep reading and know what in the world is going on. The reason I didn't rate it higher is because the ending

I rate this a four because it kept my attention and didnt bore me, though there were times I did have to put the book down because of the creep factor with reading it mostly at night.I have come to acknowledge that all of Dean Koontz books are weird and his imagination can be sometimes scary. This book was quite goodand definitely had the creep factor, from inanimate objects such as dolls moving on their own accord, and talking to creatures with the many faces of their prey in its hands. The

Many years ago I read and enjoyed several of this author's books although I can't recall much about them now. So it was with a pleasant anticipation that I picked up this book and at first I found it interesting and creepy. Molly wakes in the middle of the night due to very heavy rain that has not managed to wake her husband, and she goes downstairs. She sees that the rain is luminous and it has driven a lot of coyotes onto her porch. The animals look terrified of something out in the rain which

Leave it up to the literary equivalent of Wonderbread that Koontz is to mess up even something as fun an an alien invasion story. Actually I don't know if comparing him to Wonderbread might not be misleading due the word wonder in the brand name, something that is always in deficit in Koontz' work. But to pick up Koontz' book with all the great books that are out there would be like passing by a freshly baked baguette for a loaf of Wonderbread and for the sake of this analogy let's assume the

I really enjoyed this book. It is difficult to write about it without giving too much away, and I think the book will be better with the element of surprise. I, unfortunately, listened to a podcast by Dean Koontz in which he discussed his idea for this book, so I had a pretty good idea of the direction it was going to go. Still, I found it immensely enjoyable. This book starts with an uncharacteristic rain storm in California, in which the rain has mysterious properties. It soon becomes apparent
