One of Koontz's longer tomes of late, One Door Away from Heaven is a good thriller tale. Our heroine is a young girl who is wise beyond her years as well as a bit jaded. She is growing up in horribly awful conditions with a drug-tripping mother and homicidal step-father, who quietly disposed of her brother while telling her mother that the aliens had taken him. Sometimes a bit more shallow than Koontz is known for, yet consistently riveting, One Door Away from Heaven will satisfy readers new to Koontz as well as long time fans.
The one reason I give this book a 4 of 5 instead of a five is the begining of the book the chapters jump from one character to another and is at first difficult to get to know the characters. However, once you continue on Koontz draws you in. This is a slow start but captivating read. Such an unexpected development you don't see coming until you arrive at it. Wonderful happy ending leaves you imagining what the characters lives might be like in a continuation, if there was one.
He’s a great writer and his books are always so interesting.

Without doubt Dean is my No 1 choice when looking for books, I just wish he could write a book a week, Then I wouldnt have to keep waiting for the next one to come out. Im not going to go into details about the book as if you are like me, I prefer to not know anything untill I start reading about it in the book, I have read every one of his books so far and I love them all. So as you can probably guess from what I wrote above, I highly Recomend this book.
When Koontz started writing he was much like Stephen King, but in the mid 2000's his whole outlook in creative writing changed for the better. He looked at good and evil and gave us a host of possibilities in this world as these poles clash. I commend his work and find One Door Away of Heaven one of his best!!
