This book is a freaking door stopper. I read this the first time on a very long flight and since my other books were packed in my luggage I plugged on through this. I think maybe I went hard shrug about it all and said well that's just three stars. Reading it now years later I have no idea how I muddled through this the first time. This book is peak sanctimony Koontz. There's a damn dog and then even more dogs. Koontz does that weird thing he did for a while where he had people with disabilitiesThe most slow moving, dull book I have ever read. Bogged down in boring description at times, the last Dean Koontz book I am likely to read.
Dean Koontz has a gift for lyrical description that sometimes tumbles into purple prose. It should also be noted that the most original character in this novel, 9-year-old Leilani Klonk, sounds more like a precocious 14-year-old. In the end, though, neither criticism matters, because what Koontz has written succeeds on its own terms as a story of unexpected psychological depth.

So new books show up on the cart when a
Really fantastic book, it follows a journey unlike any other with originality, fast-paced excitement and friendship.
Awesome book. Dean Koontz brings three completely unrelated stories into one. Each story by itself is filled with suspense. You become vested in each one. Obviously the three intertwined is the awesome part. This book has it all. Suspense, thriller, sci-fi, but at the very end it boils down to a horror.
I really don't like Koontz. He tells way too much, while at the same time withholding information from the reader to make himself look clever. The worst thing about this book, however, was that he felt he needed to browbeat the reader with his hatred of utilitarianism throughout. It was pretty clear to me he didn't even have a basic understanding of utilitarian philosophy, and he was classifying some nutcases under the banner as typical examples. Among philosophical methods, utilitarianism is
