** spoiler alert ** This is another of Koontz's books where we must suspend belief...
It starts out quickly and builds suspense very well, however I didn't like that the source of the portents, good and evil, were from the protagonist's mind (as revealed in the latter half of the book). I felt it was a cop out. In any case, it was an easy read and a pleasant way to spend a few hours. Recommended - even if it disappointed me with its ending.

I just finished this book and it was fantastic!
This is definitely not the best Koontz novel. I didn't really like the characters as much as his other notable ones. As for the story, it was interesting and bizarre. It's worth reading, but don't expect much compared to Koontz's other novels.
Excellent Koontz. I'm never sure where he is taking me but I sit back and enjoy the ride and I am always thrilled to see where we end up. So many twists and turns it will keep you guessing. Highly recommended.
