1) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . This is my first Dean Koontz book, and I can say that it is definitely one of the best books I´ve ever read.
He begins with a unique character that makes the story more eerie because everything must take place at night.
Once I picked the book up, I couldn´t put it down.
I was majorly creeped out, but I loved every second of it.
I definitely plan on reading more of his books¤

2) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . Nearly 1/2 way through the book, I have given up. I just can´t take any more of the oh-so-clever internal dialogue of Christopher Snow. This book is at least 5 times longer than it should be due to the interminable wanna-be-funny musings by the protagonist.

So, almost 1/2 way through the book and almost nothing has happened, maybe 2 or 3 major plot points. I found myself speed-skimming to get to some "meat" and still it was too annoying.

Don´t know if this is typical of Koontz, but I may not try any other of his books.¤

3) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . Christopher Snow, of the Dean Koontz "Fear Nothing" fame, is still afflicted. His disease keeps him from being in the light. Any light. Otherwise he will acquire melanoma and die. Hence, Christopher "Fear Nothing" Snow is afflicted. Just like a bazillion other Dean Koontz characters.

Returning from "Fear Nothing" there are the biologically altered monkeys. Dozens of monkeys. Hundreds of monkeys. Maybe thousands. Well, maybe not thousands this time, but there were a bunch of monkeys and they were not happy monkeys. They were ticked off. Angry about being altered.

But enough of the monkeys. They really don´t play into this much. The cat, well that is different story. A talking (sort of) and intelligent cat who enjoys the company of Christoper´s brother who is a dog.

OK, well, I know that this makes sense so far. So now let´s throw in an abandoned military fort where strange things are happening. And in the nearby town of Moonlight Bay, children are disappearing. The worst of it, however, is that his dog/brother Orson has also disappeared.

In order to rescue everyone, Chris enlists the aid of his friends and off to the fort we go. Within a short time we cross into another dimension of time and space. We enter a singularity of .... of ... something. We see a Hellish world of the future or maybe not the future ... maybe the past ... no, it´s the "sideways".

If anyone can figure this book out please leave me a message. Damned if I can decipher the message.

Nevertheless, it was fast pace and interesting. Maybe a little exciting.

I think I read this book. But, then again, maybe I didn´t. I am sure that I bought it and kind of remember reading it ... but, when I looked on the shelf .. it wasn´t there. I wonder if this review will be here when I finish it. Not sure. Mondo weird.

Not as good as "Fear Nothing". Definitely weirder.

4) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . I have read Koontz for about 15 years and when he´s good he´s very good and when he´s bad he´s very bad. His stories and writing have continued to improve over the years. I choose him over Steven King these days. I bought this book in the grocery store and read it in two days couldn´t stop... Now I am going to read the first one and don´t expect that reading them out of sequence will ruin the stories one bit.

I highly recommend this one.¤

5) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . This book was great but got confusing in the end to much thing went unfinshed if u read the book u know what Imean if he doesnt come out with a sequal to this book to help clear some of mysterious end he left us he should be smacked all in all good athough I had no idea it was a sequal to begin with¤

6) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . There are no rules in the dark, no place to feel safe, no escape from the shadows. But to save the day, you must...Seize the Night.

At no time does Moonlight Bay look more beautiful than at night. Yet it is precisely then that the secluded little town reveals its menace. Now children are disappearing. From their homes. From the streets. And there´s nothing their families can do about it. Because in Moonlight Bay, the police work their hardest to conceal crimes and silence victims. No matter what happens in the night, their job is to ensure that nothing disturbs the peace and quiet of Moonlight Bay....

Christopher Snow isn´t afraid of the dark. Forced to live in the shadows because of a rare genetic disorder, he knows the night world better than anyone. He believes the lost children are still alive and that their disappearance is connected to the town´s most carefully kept, most ominous secret—a secret only he can uncover, a secret that will force him to confront an adversary at one with the most dangerous darkness of all. The darkness inside the human heart.

7) Unknown Binding Book Seize the night by . Chris Snow, the light-phobic, oddball hero of Dean Koontz´s Fear Nothing, is once again caught in the middle of something ugly. The children (and pets) of Moonlight Bay, California, are disappearing. The first to go is Jimmy Wing, the son of Snow´s former girlfriend, Lilly. Then Snow´s own hyper-intelligent dog goes missing. Snow decides that he will find them, but what he uncovers is more than just a simple kidnapping; before he can turn back, he´s up against an age-old vendetta, an active time machine, and a genetic experiment gone awry.

Seize the Night offers up the same eclectic mix of characters that appeared in Fear Nothing: boardhead Bobby, disc jockey Sasha, Snow, and all of their friends band together to find the missing kids and figure out why the people of Moonlight Bay are morphing into demonic versions of their former selves. They outsmart corrupt cops, outrun genetically enhanced monkeys, and outlive a time warp with a vengeance--all between nightfall and sunrise, the only time that Snow can be outside.

Though the premise is a little bit hard to believe, and the surf lingo occasionally irritating, Seize the Night is ultimately fun to read. Koontz successfully draws you in and keeps you entertained through an unexpected climax and an enlightening resolution. --Mara Friedman¤
