Title: Is it fair to review a book you just couldn't read???
Product review: I started this book with high hopes. I just couldn't get past the second chapter! For some reason, the writing style Koontz chose for this book was so annoying that I just couldn't make myself read any further. Any you know what? There are too many good books out there to read, so don't waste your time on a bad one.First, it's almost like Koontz sat with a Thesaurus after he finished the story and changed what felt like 50 words in each paragraph to a word so obscure that even my English-major sister was looking them up in a dictionary. OK - I'm exaggerating the number, I'm just telling you how it felt.Second, his excessive use of similes was so distracting that I found myself counting how many of them appeared on each page.
