Title: zero stars, negative five stars.
Product review: I had open beart surgery two months ago and I have been desperate for reading material. Koontz is always a reliable read, so I whipped "The Taking" off the shelf without my usual perusal before buying.YUCK!Suspense? Not really. So many heavy-handed clues, fore-shadowings and religious flavorings, so much purple prose wondering how advanced aliens could be so evil---THEY AREN"T ALIENS IT"S SATAN, this book is part of the "Left Behind" genre!Hope I've saved you from reading the book.BTW, the narrative style is really cloying, third person narration telling us what the protagonist is thinking/obsessing about.If you like "Revenge of the Sith" you'll probably like this one.BAD!
