"Not funny ha ha, funny weird".

That is a quote from this book that my friends and I used to repeat constantly in high school. "The Bad Place" is actually the first Koontz novel I ever read, and it got me hooked - rightfully so. I still love this book and have re-read it a few times.

It only loses one star because there are other Koontz novels I prefer over this one. It's not one of my all-time favourites, but it's pretty close, and it holds sentimental value.

Entertaining escape. A monstrous human wants to kill Frank and frequently kills others.

This wasn’t my favorite Koontz book, but it was good. Koontz is excellent at creating and describing characters, dialogue, and events. My favorite Koontz stories consist of one or two characters who face obstacles, struggle, become stronger, and survive or succeed. This story is more about uncovering the mystery, getting closer, then luckily managing to survive, with scars. Some of the battle scars are the los...more

This book was a nice change from Koontz usual stuff. The main character’s dilemma is intriguing: he teleports randomly and without control, finds unusual stuff in his pockets (and occasionally blood on his hands) and has no memory of who he is, where he’s been, or what in God’s name is going on. That alone would make this a good read, but there’s also some pretty fascinating bad-guy characters, like the vampire-like killer, his psychic and decadent sisters, and their devoted, lunatic, deceased m...more

I read a lot of Koontz when I was younger. 13 books in a couple weeks once, had to quit reading his stories because I started to be afraid to go out in the dark by myself - I got over it! I was thrilled when I got this audio book as a gift even though I had read it during what I called my "Koontz phase." Many of the books had run together in my memory because I read so many in such a short period of time, but this one always stood out as truly scary and one of my favorites. I was shocked at how much of the story had been lost by time and I found myself driving out of my way so I could listen longer in my car.

Koontz has created a wonderfully imaginative, dark story of evil at its finest. But what stood out the most for me were the characters. Koontz has given us astounding characters, my favorite being Thomas. The development of Thomas is sheer brilliance. Thomas has Downs Syndrome and lives in a care facility. The insight and understanding that went into the creation of Thomas is incredible. All of the characters are fantastic. They are well developed, cleverly written and span such a wide scope of personalities, abilities, and characteristics that it is hard to imagine that someone could create them and they seem as if they are truly real people. The evil that is Frank's brother Candy is terrifying. His sisters are frightening on a whole other level. The doctor that we meet is evil of another kind, and I found myself revolted by his part in the family history and him as a person. Koontz has a way writing his characters so you love and hate them as readily as Bobby and Julie do in the story.

The setting of the story varies as Frank "travels" and we learn about the places that he goes. The descriptions of the people, places and things that are encountered on the travels are vivid and clever. Koontz is a master wordsmith and draws the reader into the story with his language, creativity and imagination. Well worth the read - or the listen.

I read this back in college (2004ish) at the behest of my then girlfriend. The book left a mark on me. I enjoyed the weirdness of the characters, but what left the most lasting impression was the "fireflies in a windstorm" line. Later I stole that line (and referenced the whore book really) in a piece of (shitty) poetry.

Now I'm 26 and just read it again for the second time... my god, I can't believe how awful this book is. I'll be fair and mention the positive first: the "bad guys" are rather... unique. You won't find characters like them in other books. And I thought their psychology, the plot twist at the end, and some of the strange powers that they have and places they get to were pretty interesting. THAT BEING SAID. The rest is trash. Dean Koontz pulls out all the stops here, piling on his favorite things: Asians (especially Vietnamese boat people), the mentally disabled, a duo of boring protagonists. As an authentic Asian person (wow) with a mentally disabled brother, I find his writing EXTREMELY annoying. He stereotypes his characters with a lot of "good" characteristics, but it's still stereotyping. Yes, Asians are quiet and tend to have a great work ethic. Except when we don't, because we weren't all pressed from some special mold. Moving on. Dean also can't go a book or two without giving the mentally disabled some kind of super power, which is a pretty shitty consolation prize if you ask me. Why can't they just be the awesome people they are? Unless you just wrote him in to yank on the easiest heartstrings. Before I stop ranting I'll mention the duo, who have some of the worst written dialogue in the world. They are utterly hateful people who justify their morally gray decisions by claiming to be "the good guys." I mean, yeah compared with the alternative, you are wonderful people. But in real life I'd be tempted to throw both of them under a bus. It's a sad day when you root for the generously besacked psycho at the end to finish all of them off. And then on top of all of that, Dean still can't one sentence without some ill-thought out metaphor ("the grass was as dry as sand, and twice as brown"). This guy gets paid good money for this, people. If I were you'd I'd skip this book unless you are in the mood for tearing your hair out.(less)

Deep beneath you might recognize something of “Whispers” and especially Bruno Frye. There is more than one similarity between Bruno and Candy Pollard, the villain of “The Bad Place”. But instead of using twin brothers with a deeply disturbed childhood, Koontz takes it one huge step further, creating paranormally gifted offspring of a through incest mutated hermaphrodite.

The heroes are Bobby and Julie Dakota, a married couple but also partners in a private investigation company. While most male and female leads meet each other through the story, Bobby and Julie are already well acquainted. Because it’s no longer needed to include scenes where these characters meet and build their relationship, the story has an immediate headstart. This also leads to more dynamic dialogue, like a tennis match. Koontz masterly balances the rather dark tone of the plot with humor through these dialogues.

The person around whom everything revolves, is Frank Pollard. He’s a tragic character gaining a huge amount of sympathy. His infliction at first reminded me of Dom Corvaisis in “Strangers”, but of course it turns out to be a lot worse than mere sleepwalking: teleportation. Frank delivers the most chilling line in the entire book, when he triggers the climactic events by addressing his sisters with a few simple words, but the meaning behind them (that his sisters and their cats cannibalized on their mother) and the effects they will most certainly have (Candy exploding in a rage, making an easy target of himself) make it so memorable.

Koontz has reached a new level of writing with “The Bad Place”. The New York Times says it’s fast-paced, which is truly the case for a change. Not only because the story is so compelling or exciting, but the writing itself makes it really move forward. There’s a special fluency in the style, choice of words and sentence structuring which makes the book so easy on the eyes. Compared to other Koontz books where he can sometimes be a little longwinded, this is certainly a plus. The only time when Koontz reverted to his old ways, was during the travels of Bobby Dakota and Frank Pollard.

Koontz doesn’t fail to slip in a religious message, proof that he didn’t just start doing that with his more recent novels. This message is brought in connection with Julie’s brother, Thomas, this book’s featured disabled person (sorry if this isn’t PC). Koontz does a good job of putting his view of the world into words without underestimating the character, something he will do again with Shepherd in “By the Light of the Moon”.

Where do I begin? The Bad Place was an incredible mixture of romance, drama, murder mystery, Sci-Fi, and comedy.
Koontz always manages to amaze me with his vivid imagination and his ability to flit from one scene to the next without losing the interest of the reader and has such an inspirational way of making the story flow. The characters were all so good that I regret trying to single out anyone in particular. Although I suppose Frank would have to take center stage; Thomas would certainly be...more

Stumbled on this at my local libraries website. The short summary was interesting and I'd enjoyed Koontz's book 'The Good Guy'. I don't know that I'll finish it because the villain is so heinously disturbing and vile, beyond the amorality or evil of even the assassin from 'No Country for Old Men'. I don't mind some violence in context of a story but some descriptions of aberrant psychology I find gratuitous, disturbing and see no point in subjecting myself to it.

Frank Pollard awakes sprawled facedown on the pavement in an unknown alley, deep in the night. He remembers nothing, except for his name...and soon realizes that someone is after him.

This is Koontz that writes like hell. Strong, descriptive passages really made this novel worth the time. If I had to spot a fault it would be the 2D characters; but still it does not bug the reader, and The Bad Place is one of Koontz's very best.

I read this book as a teenager. It was so good that I read it slow, at a neighborhood park at night, underneath a small, dim lantern, and cherished every word. As Koontz often did in his earlier works, he captures you quickly with intense action, unique circumstances (such as with this novel of a man waking up in an alley not knowing who he is), and leaving the reader wanting to know more. The perspective is third person and it flips around from different characters. One of the best characteriza...more

There was a time when I thought Dean Koontz wrote circles around Stephen King. He wasn’t famous. He had a cult following and he made you feel like you just discovered someone cool. He was the anti-King you could keep to yourself or share with a selected few. Koontz, of course, went the way of all flesh and began cranking them out and repeating himself. Fame?

He has written some compelling tales that have engaged my imagination like few others. Such books as TWILIGHT EYES, WATCHERS, HOUSE OF THUNDER, PHANTOMS, and THE DOOR TO DECEMBER, are fun books to read. Others, such as the unreadable SEIZE THE NIGHT, DRAGON TEARS, and WINTER MOON make me leery of picking up other Dean Koontz books.

One of the chief complaints of Koontz’s writing is that his characters are all the same. In most of his books, the characters are overachievers who have overcome horrible childhoods to succeed tremendously in whatever industry it is they pursue. They always do so at the expense of friends and family. None of this shows up in THE BAD PLACE. In this book, Koontz steps away from his templated writing and develops original characters set in an original story.

A device that Koontz often employs effectively is the splintered story telling with different characters, unattached to each other, beset with similar problems. He usually is quite adept at engaging the reader into thinking and analyzing what these characters all have in common. He usually brings the story lines together into a exciting conclusion, as he does in THE BAD PLACE.

Koontz provides few clues as to what links his various story lines together. Instead he weaves new anecdotes that only increase the mystery. As the book climaxes is when Koontz ties his story lines together.

One area where Koontz surpasses Stephen King is his ability to write erotica. King seldom uses erotica in his stories. Koontz does it and almost always does it well. In THE BAD PLACE, the seductive twins who are primarily attracted to each other is well crafted erotica.

Then there is Candy, who so abhors sex and sexual arousal (for obvious reasons) that he washes his privates (such as they are) with a special mitt so he won’t have to touch them.

Dean Koontz is a writing machine who cranks out at least one novel and usually two novels a year. Being a novel factory probably detracts from the quality of his work. When Koontz is on, you can understand why he’s one of the better selling novelists of modern times. When he’s off (which is more often than not lately), you end up feeling foolish for having picked up the book. I can recall only a couple occasions when a book was so bad that I just could not find the will to finish it.

However, Koontz is on his game in THE BAD PLACE. He deviates from his formulaic characters and develops original thoughtful characters. The mystery of Frank Pollard and his strange abilities deepens throughout the book until the apocalyptic meeting at the doctor’s house. The final battle between Frank and Candy is riveting.

Those who fear reading Koontz for fear of stepping into a pile of crap like SEIZE THE NIGHT can safely pick up THE BAD PLACE and know they are headed for a good reading experience. (less)

Quotes from The Bad Place

“That was one of the most fundamental and sacred duties good friends and families performed for one another! They tended the flame of memory, so no one’s death meant an immediate vanishment from the world; in some sense the deceased would live on after their passing, at least as long as those who loved them lived. Such memories were an essential weapon against the chaos of life and death, a way to ensure some continuity from generation to generation, an order of endorsement and meaning.” — 18 people liked it
