Praise for The City
âBeautifully crafted and poignant . . . The City is many things: serious, lighthearted, nostalgic, courageous, scary, and mysterious. . . . [It] will have readers staying up late at night.ââNew York Journal of Books
â[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.ââBookreporter
Acclaim for Dean Koontz
âPerhaps 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.ââPublishers Weekly
âA rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself.ââChicago Sun-Times
âTumbling, hallucinogenic prose. âSeriousâ writers . . . might do well to examine his technique.ââThe New York Times Book Review
â[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.ââLos Angeles Times
âKoontz 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.ââUSA Today
âCharacters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of [Koontzâs] work. . . . One of the master storytellers of this or any age.ââThe Tampa Tribune
âA literary juggler.ââThe Times (London)
