A very thought out story of time travel and the human experience.

This read captured you immediately and was unexpected.

1st book I’ve read by Mr. Koontz and really enjoyed it.

Thru the years, I have purchased (and loaned) this book several times and have never had a copy returned! It is just toooo great to not keep! And yes, I have read it several times and will again and again. I believe Lightening would be an absolutely fabulous movie. I’ll keep hoping! KAPinOregon

However a classic Koontz where he ties everything together at the end

Like reading horror novels? Like reading mysteries? Don’t ignore all of the customer reviews from people saying they love this book. They know what they’re talking about! When it comes to horror tales and mysteries, Dean Koontz writes in both genres and, as a fan, I can promise you that he is INCREDIBLE at it! This book is a thriller, not a horror novel. Unlike some of the others, it’s also not the first book I read by Koontz; I read lots of others before I found this one. Still, any and all readers who call this one of his best are not wrong. This romantic suspense story/sci-fi thriller/chase thriller is fantastic! Considering that Koontz always seems to me to be an author who loves to scare readers even as he entertains and uplifts by showing us the best side of human nature, this book features one of his most diabolical concepts as a writer of any kind of scary book! Ditto for the villains! Once you find out exactly who they are, you’ll be thinking: “Thank goodness the idea for this book can’t really happen! It would be a nightmare!” So, if you’ve never read Dean Koontz and you’re looking for a great new horror author or suspense author to try, read this book! If you’re already a fan of Koontz, whether a longtime fan or a newcomer, read this book! Take my word for it: You’ll have a new favorite on your hands for sure!

Awesome Is it TRUE?MAYbe! Good READ

This book is just as suspenseful and wonderful as all his other books I have read. I’m glad he added the afterward as it explains why he writes the way he does. I’m ready to read the next one!

As a Koontz fan, for years, I have to say this is one of his best works EVER....and it still holds up---just awesomely---highly recommended!

This book is great! I loved reading it. Very suspenseful and satisfying. I love the characters. But there are a few typos!

Suspense. A joy to read. Dean Koontz is never disappointing!

Read it if you know what's best for you. If you don't enjoy this as well as Dean Koontz being the king, then park on a hill with your car in neutral with only the e-brake engaged, pay anyone all the money you have to your name to sit in driver seat with foot on brake peddle and hand on e-brake, lay your head behind the rear tire of car, and have hired helper release foot brake and e-brake simultaneously allowing car to not only run your cranium into the pavement once...but a second time until both wheels have done this world a favor and exploded your meaningless opinions as well as your meaningless existence, all over the street. Great book.

As a reader of hundreds of books and an aspiring writer, the novel that holds my highest regard is "Lightning". Do you want suspense? 10/10. Sci-Fi? 10/10. A thrilling adventure and love story? Lightning has it all. Look no further, browsing reader, and read Lightning. If Mr. Koontz reads reviews, bless you sir. You inspire future writers with your well-crafted stories as well as readers. Lightning is everything a reader could want.

Great read. Killed it in two days. Couldn't put it down. One of the best I've read all year!

This book was the first book I had ever read by Dean Koontz. And 20yrs later it is still one of my all time favorites!

Another great read by Dean Koontz!

DK is my favorite author and I've read a ton of his books. Lightning is in the top 3 of my favorites.

One of my all-time favorite books, and unarguably my favorite Dan Koontz book. I have read it several times over the years, and recommend it to anyone looking for a good new read. Excellent!

This book was wonderful. Dean Koontz is a great writer. Lighting kept my interest from the first page to the last, and this is my second time to read it. I loved it, twice!!
