Title: An Editor, Please!
Product review: How can one of the most skilled writers in the world suddenly publish such garbage? I've been reading Koontz for years, and never been more disappointed than I was about halfway through "The Taking". Koontz abandoned storytelling for trying to impress us with how wordy he can be and how many big and unusual words he has in his vocabulary. You want to impress people with how smart you are, take up teaching or something, Koontz. But if you intend to keep an audience for your novels, you'd be wise to get back to the basics and tell the doggone story. People accuse King of being wordy, but at least he knows how to tell a story, even if he does publish thousand-pagers.Basic sentences, Koontz. Basic vocabulary. Please get back to that or start a new carreer in writing crossword puzzles.Save your money, folks. Save your money. But if you must read it, get it from the library, or take my copy from the landfill.
