Title: It was the best of openings, it was the worst of endings
Product review: This book is an unintended paradox. It contains perhaps the best beginning of any of Koontz's books, yet probably the worst ending. That's not the whole problem--the middle isn't much good either. The minute descriptions of fungi are needlessly detailed, literally nauseating, and serve no purpose. And they go on and on and on. Did I mention the descriptions of fungi?As you read through the book, you keep wondering how certain issues will be resolved--the simple answer is: they aren't.Koontz is still one of the most talented writers in America. I've heard that Mr. Koontz has gone back to rewrite some of his previous books. I'd like to see him do that with this one--keep the first 1/4 of the book, and do something completely different with the rest.
