For most of this book Koontz kept me very enthralled. I enjoyed the characters, loved the nonstop action and thought the evil guy as very creepy. So why the three stars? The ending. I was so curious as to what was going on and was wondering how they were going to get out of their situation. Then the ending happened. It was a bit too far fetched for me. Don't get me wrong, I know Koontz likes to throw supernatural twists in there and most of the time I'm okay with it. This one didn't work for me at all. Unfortunately, I can't get into more detail without giving it away.
The story is about a guy named Cubby who writes books, his wife writes children's books and does the illustrations, and his 6yr old son is a prodigy. They are very happy together and seem to have the perfect life. After the release of Cubby's new book, he is informed about a bad review from noted critic Shearman Waxx. Of course Cubby is upset about the review especially since it looks like the critic never even read his book. His wife tells him to let it go and he decides he will until he finds out that the critic eats lunch at the same restaurant every day. Cubby decides he has to check the elusive critic out. After he gets to the restaurant and spots Waxx, he ends up having a small encounter with the critic and from there Cubby's life is forever changed. Now he has this madman stalking him and trying to hurt him and his family. It seems like everywhere he goes he is being followed.
It is a good book. I can recommend the majority of it but think the ending kind of killed it for me.
