Title: Very nice introduction to Koontz for me
Product review: Just finished my first Koontz novel, and it will definitely notbe the last. A very impressive staging of suspense and action, whichbegins within the first 20 pages.Granted, the ending is too shortand a little anti-climactic, but realistic from a logical point of view.There was a nice exploration of the characteristics of Ticktock's powers, including the Pause. I laughed out loud when Harry has to employ the use of the breaststroke in a manner he never imagined.......... You'll be reading along about an ordinary scene, and he'll sneak in a semi-casual mention of a threat. You're tension level immediately rises, and you have to check to make sure you read what you thought you read. This is the case several times with the passing mention of the appearance of the hobo.I've read about ten Stephen King novels, and this Koontz one definitely holds its own in comparison. I would be interested in seeing Koontz attempt an "epic" novel, a la The Stand. END
