When I first began reading this book I figured it would be one of Mr. Koontz's latest strange, overly-descriptive novels that would be forgotten soon after I turned the last page. However, the more pages turned the more *enchanted* I became. There were several interesting plot twists that never became too convoluted and all in all it was a terrific read. I've read all of Mr. Koontz's books and he has evolved into a cheerful suspense novelist, completely different from his earlier works, but instead of being disappointed I find I enjoy his new books in a different way. This book is worth the money and a nice addition for any fan. Good work!
