Velocity by Dean Koontz (2005, Hardcover)

If I were comparing this with other Koontz books, I would give it a "4" — compared with everybody else it is definitely a "5." This novel shows just how good Dean Koontz has become since his mediocre SF novels of decades ago... he has taken one of the oldest plots in the world ("the biter bit") and turned it into a thrilling tour-de-force. I thought I was getting tired of all the "serial killer" novels coming out these days — actually I was — but it didn't matter; this one is at the top of my list. Incidentally, I got it from my public library... but if your library doesn't have it, I recommend buying it. Yes, I do sell books on the internet; no, I do not have this one for sale, nor do I expect to, unless some nice person gives me two free copies (in which case I will keep one of them on my own bookshelf). Now it's two years later and I just re-read my review. Guess what I am going to do now... (if you guessed go back and REREAD THIS BOOK you were right!) I expect to enjoy it a lot. And now it's a year or so later... and I did reread it and I did enjoy it a lot. Still recommended.

This was the first Dean Koontz book that I have read. Excellent book. It keeps you reading until the end. I did not want to put this down.

This book is excellent. I couldn't put the book down. It kept me guessing until the very end. I finished reading this book in a few day. I would and will recommend this book to any one. This book is a must read.

This is one of my all time favorite Dean Koontz novels. It is short, easy to read, and by far the best. Follow a kind hearted bartender through this twisting and turning book. You will never guess the ending. One of his best works.

This book was great, one of his best. A page turner from beginning to end... although I really think that "Sole Survivor" and "False Memory" were his best books, and "Intensity" was by far the best movie adaptation from one of his books, this one also rates high up on my list. Recommended!

velocity moves very fast and is almost impossible to put down. the antagonist in this story is a little off the wall, but then again koontz's imagination never ceases to amaze me. i rate this story right up there with intensity which has always been one of my favorites.

I bought this book to read on the plane for a trip to hawaii. The idea was to keep me busy and not think about flying. I got to tell you this book did the trick! I didn't even want to land so that I could finish reading.

I`m a big dean koontz fan and have a good start on my collection of books. and this is a good one also. great gift too for a dean koontz lover

This book was an excellent buy -- hard cover in 'like new' condition, no tattered or 'dog-eared' pages and the dust cover is in perfect condition. This is one of my favorite authors and i can highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction in the 'thriller/suspense' genre.

just reading, it will take a few days with my time avalabile to kick back and go through all the detials, but so far so good. tell the restat a later time.

I read a lot of horror and thriller books so over time I guess I have become a little immune to the fear factor. I have to say, although Koontz is not my favorite writer - a little long winded sometimes - for the first time in years and years of bedtime reading, I actually got a little spooked about turning off my bedside lamp! I did manage to resist checking my closet for lurking axe murderers but only just.

With a likable hero and very creepy villain, the suspense remained right to the end. Very good read.

I would never be able to buy all of the Koontz books if it were not for e-Bay. They are so inexpensive, so many choices, and you can re-sell on e-Bay.

Without doubt Dean is my No 1 choice when looking for books, I just wish he could write a book a week, Then I wouldnt have to keep waiting for the next one to come out. Im not going to go into details about the book as if you are like me, I prefer to not know anything untill I start reading about it in the book, I have read every one of his books so far and I love them all.
So as you can probably guess from what I wrote above, I highly Recomend this book.

This book has loveable characters, mystery, suspense and a great storyline. I would strongly suggest that you pick up this great read!

I am an avid Dean Koontz reader. I cannot find books here because we live in a rural area. It is so easy and convenient to just look in ebay to find the ones I have not read. No driving hundreds of miles, hunting through malls. Its at my fingertips.

I love that it was easy and exactly what I wanted. I bought it as a gift and it arrive in a timely manner.

Book was better than expected. Pace is fast; you are zipped from one event to another. Only complaint: Koontz does not let the reader know what the vilian has been plotting for the protaginst as in other Koontz novels.
