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.
