Customer Reviews

One of my favorite Koontz' novels.

A chance encounter with a strange old woman in a mall parkinglot, marks a mother and her little boy for death. The woman is the head of a religious cult and she sees the boy as the antichrist. Mother and child find themselves on the run from a bloodthirsty cult that seems to be everywhere. Not even the police can help them as they run for their lives... This is classic Koontz. It is one of the most suspenseful and harrowing novels he's ever done. Highest recommendation!

A Captivating Read

I am a huge Dean Koontz fan, and I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the books I have read of his, but I thought this one stood out among them. In all of Koontz's books that I have read, I have found myself saying "Yeah right, this is ridiculous and could never happen". Even in my personal favorite Koontz novel, Lightning, i found many things unbelievable. But in The Servants of Twilight, Dean Koontz crafts a believable AND enjoyable storyline.Christine Scavello has a young son, Joey, who is an exceptional little boy who is very well behaved, and never gets into trouble. That is until one day, after a routine trip to the supermarket, a crazed old woman begins following Joey, believing that he is the Antichrist. At first this sounds insane, but then you realize that religious cults can indeed be as crazy as this particular villain, Grace Spivey. Christine hires a PI, Charlie, to help her escape the looney woman, and as in all other Koontz novels, they fall in love. It's very interesting to see the story unfold from all angles. You see the book from the point of view of the villain and the victims, so it is much more interesting. The book has many twists and turns to bring you to the end, and believe me, it's worth it. I highly recommend this book to any Koontz fan!

Best I've Read

I've read six Koontz novels and "The Servants of the Twilight" was the 1st of these reads. Only one of Koontz's books have topped it since (Twilight Eyes). A mother with an angel of a boy (Joey) is being accused that her boy is the antichrist and will cause armegeddon of he isn't killed, by some insane religious cult. Find out what extreme measures Joey's mother must take to get away and keep away from the religious cult and its eerie leader, Grace Spivey

The best Koontz book among the old ones

Impossible to put down. That's how you could define that book if asked to define it in one sentece. But more than this, the book is beyond any other kind of entertainment. I tried reading this book 'cause I was trying to get used to reading books in English. And that was the best book by Dean Koontz I've ever read. You'll never be able to forget the mother and the child, that soon start to get into a sea of deadly problems. The plot comes up as one of the best ever written, and the author just doesn't allows you to do any other thing but read the book, because that's all you want to do when you start page one of THE SERVANTS OF TWILIGHT. Since then, I never read other book by Dean to like as much as I liked that. But that may change from reader to reader. Only one thing is certain: the plot will make you be on the edge of you seat the whole time.

A MESMERIZING DEAN KOONTZ BOOK!!!

The only novels that I have read by Mr. Dean Koontz are Shattered, The Eyes of Darkness, and Phantoms, and I just finished Servants of Twilight, which is easily his best book to date.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.-Brian
