Our view
Dean Koontz’s “Midnight” is a full-blooded cross-genre novel, mixing suspense, science fiction, a love story and horror. Some readers are most taken with Chrissie, a resourceful eleven-year-old, and find the chapters told from the villains’ side the weakest part, since for them those chapters give the mystery away too early. It suits readers who like their horror mixed with other genres.
