Title: Some good ideas, poor execution
Product review: I always look forward to Koontz' new releases. This one looked interesting from the jacket summary. The idea of aliens that think of us as gnats, terraforming our world and how they were going about it was a great idea to be explored. But it wasn't. It turned into yet more dogs again help save the humans from the minions of hell (literally). If the last few chapters w/the in-your-face religious moralizing were removed the book would be better. If ANY other ending was put in their place this would be MUCH better. As others have said, don't waste your money...this will soon be on the Borders bargain rack. The text is also off-putting. At times it seemed that he was trying to see how many archaic, poly-syllabic words he could fit into a sentence. If you want to read some good Koontz, grab Odd Thomas, From the Corner of His Eye, The Face, Phantoms, or just about anything else. This is one of his worst. Right there w/False Memory in my book.
