buy The Servants of Twilight by Dean Koontz at Amazon
Author: Dean R. Koontz
Release date: April, 1996
Media: Mass Market Paperback
ISBN: 0425121259
I wanted to read the book because the movie based on it was available to rent just 5 minutes away, so I decided to give the book a try. Wow, is it great!
What surprised me most was that Charlie, Christine, and Joey aren't just one-dimensional characters on the run from religious fanatics, but they're much more important, and I felt myself rooting for them ever so much toward the end. Even the relationship between Charlie and Christine seems somewhat real.
The villian Grace Spivey is written with such detail that I had nightmares about what she possibly looked like, just like Charlie!
The overall best thing about this book? It could REALLY happen. That's what makes it so frightening.
The Servants of Twilight is a masterpiece of horror and suspense, and I can't wait to watch the movie based on the book later today.
