I think I can safely say I have read all of Koontz's books. If you are also a fan, do not buy this book! "Diarreha of the word processor" hit the nail on the head. What started out as a decent read with plenty of suspense soon turned into blah blah blah blah blah! I started reading one or two sentences a page just to get through it.Mr. Koontz, you are so much better than this.
