    • 5/5
      Very gripping storyline. Kept me guessing. Didn’t want to stop listening. Really enjoyed this book.
    • 2/5
      The narrator is awful. It’s unfortunate, because the hardback is great.
    • 4/5
      A re-read for me. A man resuscitated long after death awakens with a strange connection to a killer. People often criticise Koontz for too often having religious themes in his books and this is certainly one of those, though an earlier and better example. If one is to read a supernatural thriller regardless of faith, then there must be some leeway for this, although any author can use a recurring theme too often at the risk of work sounding stale. Despite rolling my eyes a time or two, especially once toward the end, I’m giving this book a high mark for its tension, and excellently conceived and solid plot. I felt the book was a little overlong, but not to the point of frustration.
    • 3/5
      Hideaway is a typical horror story pitting good against evil with some interesting twists. Mr. Koontz's writing is always engaging, and the beginning chapters describing the car accident and aftermath are riveting, but the rest of the book has no surprises. The half-dead monster, Vassago, that trolls through the deserted funhouse, the brilliant, driven doctor that resuscitates dead bodies, and the innocent child with the spunky sense of humor are very reminiscent of his previous novels. I guess I was hoping for something extraordinary but it just wasn't there.
    • 3/5
      Good suspense book--outlines the good -v- evil with a smattering of destiny meets destiny themes. Story begins with the revival of a dead man and progresses through a suspense laden time line to a conclusion in a place you just knew would be the site of an exciting, smash ending. Hitchcock and Serling would be proud.
    • 3/5
      I like the idea at the end, but it doesn’t really jive with the rest of the book. The first half is pretty interesting and the characters are well-drawn and relatable then instead of being stock types.
    • 4/5
      A serial killer who was brought back to life has a supernatural relation with another person who dead and brought back. Main characters are Hatch who is the good guy and Lindsey his wife. The wacko is Vassago. His hideaway is in the bowels of an old amusement park.
    • 4/5
      A very good book, as most Koontz books are, however i didnt jump out at me as some of his other work has. There also werent really any shocking twists either, which Koontz usually has plenty of. Overall i liked the book, it just wasnt anything special.
    • 2/5
      This book was Ok, but it isn't one of my favourite Koontz books. I though it was a bit predictable.
    • 5/5
      this is one of the best good vs evil plots i've read in a long time. it may even be the best i've ever read. koontz is at the top of his form here and he is best making us care about children and dogs. No dogs in this one (well, there is a reference to one or two for a graf or two), but Regina is just the loveliest person. He paints her precocious well. I read the reviews and I have no idea what imperfection in the ending bothers some. I found it continually whole through and through. I do wish Dean would hitch along the promising sub-plot with the good Doctor J. He leaves him in a rather purgatorial mind. That didn't flow right. That and the tendency to stereotype Hatch and Lindsey gives it four and a half stars rather than five. I couldn't easily put it down, though.
    • 2/5
      A quick, suspensful, and sometimes scary read about the battle of Good versus Evil here on earth, as played out by 2 people who have died, only to have been brought back to life with modern medicine.I found the first half of the book was too scary for me to read alone at night, but as the book went on, I became less and less scared. It is typical pop fiction writing, with the emphasis on page turning as opposed to fleshing out themes. I would have liked to have learned more about the nature of good and evil and maybe caught a glimpse of the author's ideas on the subject, but the focus was on action rather than philosphy and religion, although what conclusions the author did seem to make at the close of the book, I don't think I agree with. Or maybe, more accurately, the character's actions at the end of the book disappointed me after such a fantastical experience.This edition features an afterward by the author, discussion fan mail (hate mail) and the movie version that he fought to remove all association with.
