Summary: Towering Fear
Comment: One of Dean's cleverest - and most suspenseful - straight thrillers. And one it's hard to say too much about, without giving away the game.
A psychic helping the police out on a difficult serial-rapist case finds himself, and his girlfriend, the target of attempted murder by the culprit. The rapist/murderer manages to isolate the pair in an empty skyscraper over the holidays, and plays an elusive cat-and-mouse game with them - to the death.
This one shoots out of a gun, like most of Koontz's early works, and doesn't let up for a second. It's a fast, easy, involving read. Koontz's style is minimalistic, telling virtually the entire story through dialogue and simply drawn action, shifting character perspective inventively to keep the reader guessing who the guilty party is. And even once that's known, he manages to slip in an extra surprise or two.
This was made into a very good T.V. movie with Lee Horsley and Pam Dawber, which suffers in comparison to the novel due to the fact that it has to prematurely show what the book doesn't.
Rating: 4
Summary: Exciting Page Turner
Comment: Graham Harris, ex-mountain climber and publisher of a climbing magazine is having precognitive visions of a psychotic rapist/murderer. Recruited by the NYPD to aide in the capture the psycho finds out and sets his sights on Graham's girlfriend Sarah.
Trapped at his office in a high rise office building with Sarah and all escape routes cut off (gee, why didn't Graham see this) they must do something daring to escape. What else but scale down the side of the building with the climbing equipment which just happens to be in his office (yeah right, Ok So its fiction). Oh, did I mention that due to a climbing accident on Mt. Everest that Graham has a bad leg and an even worse case of Vertigo (fear of heights).
Over looking the faults, this is an above average fast paced book which once into, you will find hard to put down.
I was only able to give this book 4 stars because of the faults I mentioned previously.
If you are offended easily then you may not want to read this. Many of the scenes described in the book are very graphic.

Summary: Sends chills down your spine
Comment: Can a book really send chills down your spine? Well, YES, a Koontz book can!
The Face of Fear is classic Koontz. Just thinking about being trapped up in an office building like that with a psycho killer gives me the creeps. This book will have you rooting for the "good guys" to get away unscathed...but will they?
