Title: The Taking
Product review: I was taken all right--taken for a loss of twenty dollars and three days of my time! I've been reading Koontz since '88, and this is by far his worst novel. This story is absolutely pointless, filled with unnecessary spelling-bee vocabulary--c'mon, phantasmagorically?--flat-lined narration, and cloying internal monologue. (There is something called dialogue, Mr. Koontz.) There wasn't even one thread of suspense in this entire tale of . . . I won't give away the weak plot. Advice: Read Intensity if you want classic Koontz.
