Not much to this and what there is is much less than one might expect. A terrific premise wears thin after 400 pages and one is left asking "what is the point?" Maybe my expectations were too high, but this novel is just second-rate horror/thriller stuff that fails miserably as entertainment or mainstream fiction. Wait for the tv movie it seems to be a rough draft for. Maybe a skilled screenwriter can do something with it if the original author isn't involved.
