i hat the book . a guy meet a smart dog and get a virgin girlfriend and and all the while theyre be chase by a hit man and a ape beast thing ( both of whom want the dog ) . dean koontz really can not write ( i read the book at my sister recommendation and i should have know well ) . when i saw this and ( mostly out of a morbid curiosity ) i actually find myself criticize it because of the fact that it be untrue to the book and even though this be a book that it impossible to make a good movie of . i figure at least if theyre go to make a film adaptation of the bad book i have ever read the filmmaker might as well be accurate . they turn the guy and his virgin love interest into a boy and his mother and for some reason that bother me most of all ( even though i seriously doubt keep it a guy and his chick wouldn not have make it any good ) . quite simply while bad book and bad movie and do not see it .
