This is possibly the  first Dean Koontz book I’ve ever read. I read some other horror books years ago but I don’t think they were by Koontz, can’t think of the guys name.  Anyhow, the premise of this book is decent.  Unfortunately I feel like it was poorly written in spots.  The author was really trying to drive home a central concept but seemed to only be able to accomplish this by addressing it directly with overly flowery words.  Instead of letting the feeling and emotion come through the characters, he just told you what the tone was.  It was a bit preachy I guess is the best way to put it.  You would be rolling along in the story, starting to get into, then BAM…lets stop and review the atmosphere and the emotional status of the characters.  I found it strange how he kept telling us how strong the love was between the couple, instead of letting them express it.  Like he was switching between Molly’s point of view and him narrating.  Maybe this is typical Koontz and he’s just not for me… I know my sister reads pretty much all of his stuff.  I’ll read another and see how it goes.  The book wasn’t that compelling.  I read about half of it and then left it for three weeks or so, something I normally can’t do with a book I really enjoy.  I read voraciously once I get into a story.   I can say that in my whole life I’ve not finished a book I’ve started maybe 3 times.  I read them to the end, even if they suck, just to see if it gets any better.  This one I probably could have not gotten around to finishing and it wouldn’t have bothered me.  No matter how many times the author told me it was hopeless and there was no future, I knew he’d pull it out in the end.  I read the reviews of this book and I can’t say that I agree with any of them.  This book was not well written and certainly not scary or thrilling.
 

So the book passed the time at work but I wouldn’t devote any of my quality reading time to it
