Reception
[edit]Kirkus Reviews referred to Dragon Tears "an electrifying terrorfest" and Koontz's "silkiest writing yet", noting that the author "hooks us at once [...] and never lets go".[1] Publishers Weekly similarly highlighted how "Koontz romps playfully and skillfully through this grown-up enchantment, dealing out such motifs as a talking dog and taking potshots at recognizable pop culture". They concluded that the novel is "as irresistible (and nutritionally valuable) as a stack of brownies".[2]
Despite such praise, Kirkus Reviews mentioned that "Koontz gets a bit preachy about social decay—but his action never flags in this vise-tight tale".[1]
Publishers Weekly also noted that "the prose may occasionally strike a false note".[2]
