This was the first Koontz novel I ever read and I could not put it down. The depiction of the characters and images seen through the eyes of Chris Snow was incredible. As the book neared the end I found myself wishing for it not to be over. I felt like I was right there going through the ordeal myself. Koontz pulled me in and has not let me go. I have read several other great books by him since, but none of them hooked me like Seize the Night.
