The Vision

Non stop suspense riveting imagination , great reading.Just enough scare to keep you on your toes.Nice twists and turns to keep you guessing.

this book came quickly and was in good shape. I haven't picked it up to re-read it yet, but I read this many years ago when Dean Koontz was newly publishing books. I remembered how much I enjoyed it then. its an excellent read!

I like kootz work very much .... This novel was sorta like one I read before ... But till every too read ... Sometimes I'm turned off by the length of a novel ... Over 500 pages or so ... But I've foynd.mysllf.ina.position to tackle one of his much.longer books which ill also enjoy .. 😁 please excuse the mindless thoughts ... I'm one day out of 5 weeks in intensive care for head.injury ... But I still enjoy his work

I finished The Vision about two weeks ago. Work keeps me quite busy. Here I am now, giving you my review for a decent book. Stick around and see what I think.The Ugly: There are two instances in the book, just two but enough to drown out the book, where Mr. Koontz made one paragraph a complete sentence. All he did was kept saying “and” over and over again. It was like a complete rookie mistake. I don’t think he could have made that as a conscious effort. It was two run-on sentences that lasted almost an entire page.The Bad: Even though there is an epic twist in the book, it was one you could see coming from miles away. There were way too many red herrings in the book to count. You could see them the second you read them. The only reason I’m not putting this as “the ugly” is because of the nice twist.The Good: The story is best part here except for the obviousness of who the killer is. I’m not trying to give too much away because of the surprise, but just know, out of the works he has written up to this point this is the best story. Hopefully the writing gets better.Final Thoughts: I was going to give this a 4-star rating, but those two sentences that ran for most of a page took away from the book. They aren’t until towards the end of the book, but enough to hurt the book. I would say read it.

Synopsis:Mary Bergen is a psychic that uses her abilities to help the police. With a serial killer on the loose, Mary begins having terrifying visions of murder victims who seem strangely familiar. She knows the answers lie buried in her past, rooted in the torture she endured at the tender age of 6. With her new husband, Max and her ever-faithful brother, Alan by her side, Mary must find answers fast before she ends up being the killer's next victim. Further complicating the situation, Alan and Max hate each other. Each is distrustful of the other and both are possessive of Mary's time and attention.Review:You can definitely tell this is one of Koontz' earlier works as it's a bit predictable, even bordering on trite at times. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It's short for a Koontz novel and fast paced which makes for an easy read. I was pretty sure I knew "whodunit" within the first 100 pages but the "why" was much harder to figure out. Overall, I'd say there are enough twists and turns in this book to keep most readers satisfied.

This Author is so good. I read it listen to everything he has ever written. This was an older book and is a re- read. Still good.

Not the best Dean Kootz book, but not his worst. A good story and easy reading with a few twists to keep things interesting. Recommend for any book lover out there.

I love Koonjtz books many said they saw the ended but I keep changimng my guess it. Really enjoying

I read this book a long time ago, more than twenty years, I remembered the opening section and I also remembered who Mary discovers the killer actually is and the truth about what happened to her when she was six but the rest of the book was blank. It didn’t spoil the book for me because I remembered some of the storyline because I read it so long ago. This is an example of how good Koontz’s earlier work was a well-written, engaging and intense supernatural thriller. I thought The Vision was great.

First of all, how fantastic to see so many of Koontz's early novels on Kindle for 99p - I I wish they would do that with more well know authors. It's so long since I read some of his early stuff that I've more or less forgotten it. I vaguely remember reading this when I was a teenager and I found it quite suspenseful and scarey then. Revisited I can see how clunky some of the plot elements are - in particular the heavy handed way he tries to force the reader's suspicions in the direction of one character and I also found the climax a bit rushed and disappointing. Having said that it's a million miles better than many of his recent books which are not remotely scarey and filled with pointless descriptive paragraphs and lots of stuff about dogs- (though even back in 77 when he wrote this, there is a forerunner of things to come when hespends a couple of paragraph describing shelves full of glass dogs :)Overall it's not bad at all for 99p and I will probably download 'Phantoms' next. I remember that as being pretty good.

This was a really good read and difficult to put down. A brilliant twist in the plot close to the end. Having a great interest in psychic phenomena I found it well written and very interesting. Another great Dean Koontz book. He has become my favourite author and I a slowly working my way through all his books. Well worth reading.

Having lost a little of my passion for Koontz, I came back and tried this. Well I’m back and hooked again, page turner I think is the expression! Well worth a look if you’re fan.Bill. C

In a surprise departure from many of his novels, Mr Koontz did not suddenly switch to his villain's viewpoint halfway into the story. We only find out who the killer was in the last couple of chapters of the book. Well, I figured it out in the first few chapters, despite all the red herrings, but perhaps because I was expecting a twist. A double bluff would have been good.Perhaps my main problem was with the annoying heroine. Stop whinging and get on with it!
