ReviewsPraise for The City "Beautifully crafted and poignant . . . The City is many things: serious, lighthearted, nostalgic, courageous, scary, and mysterious. . . . [It] will have readers staying up late at night." --New York Journal of Books "[Koontz] can flat-out write. . . . The message of hope and depiction of how the choices you make can change your life ring true and will remain with you once the book has been closed." -- Bookreporter Acclaim for Dean Koontz "Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America: novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good . . . that entertain vastly as they uplift." -- Publishers Weekly "A rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself." --Chicago Sun-Times "Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. 'Serious' writers . . . might do well to examine his technique." --The New York Times Book Review "[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match." --Los Angeles Times "Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition." --USA Today "Characters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of [Koontz's] work. . . .

This book is in excellent condition.
I am a great fan of Dean Koontz and have read many of his books. I ordered the ones that I have not read to complete my set. I still have to purchase his new book that is out for sale. NancyBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
