Title: Badly needs a good editor..
Product review: Once again I am convinced that Dean Koontz is paid for his writing by the kilogram. Within the first few paragraphs he skates on the thin ice of purple prose and then smashes through to spend the remainder of the book wallowing in overblown descriptive passages. To be honest some of the images he presents are in bad taste, not for the weak stomached. I found myself on countless occasions screaming internally for him to get to the point instead of using the pages for practicing his meandering literary technique. It's a shame, because when you filter out the excess adjectives and metaphors, it's possible to see that he does indeed have immense literary talent. His publishers are doing him a misjustice in letting him run away with his imagination. They need to reign him in and firmly direct him towards more worthwhile endeavours.
