One of my favorite Dean Koontz

I read this book in two days, not unusual for me and any Koontz' book. I enjoyed it, but I did find it different. I found the family witty and charming, however I knew from the beginning who the bad guys were.
Wow! This book totally blew me away. Best Koontz book I've read yet, and I thought Odd Thomas would be a tough act to follow. I may have to pick up a copy of this book for own PC bookshelf so I can let hubby and all my other non-BC friends read it too. :)
Great character development, suspense, the kind of book I didn't want to put down. At times, I was so anxious to know how a particular situation would turn out that I'd find myself skipping ahead a couple of chapters, and then immediately scolding myself for doing so. Screw going to bed! I
must read a few more chapters so I can see how this part turns out! LOL
Though it contained plenty of suspense, it was also a love story in a sense, not a romance, but so many parts of the book, and particularly the end, gave me the warm fuzzies--the kind that bring tears to your eyes. I guess touching is the right word, as the story touched me on so many levels. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it held me in thrall. An excellent read indeed!
This is a great one.....very humorous dialogue between the two main characters and a great plot (one that hasn't been done before!) One of my favorite Koontz books!

A roller coaster of a novel filled with enough twists, turns, shocks, and surprises for ten novels. A story of five days in a young man life and how he discovers life.
Koontz is working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love.
Great read, great tempo. Hard to put down. Koontz never disappoints!
A grandfather's prophecy of five dark days in a boy's life comes true, but how?
This is a quick read that kept me entertained throughout. I thought it was a great book.
