Title: Had lots of potential
Product review: I will join the very few who did not particularly care for this novel. I've read worse, but I've also read better. Chyna goes to spend a lovely weekend with her slightly spoiled, overly wealthy friend at the beautiful family home. She winds up first fleeing and then chasing a serial killer who fancies himself indestructible. There are some worthwhile scenes: Chyna trying to creep through the house to avoid the killer preying on her friend's family. However, Koontz's dialogue and character development fell flat for me. I never really cared what happened to any of the characters, and the plot dissolved before it was truly built. I didn't feel that Vess, the killer, was really that frightening, and all the characters talked as if they were reciting lines for a school play....very stiff. Obviously, more people feel differently than I about this novel. For me, it never lives up to its name. Koontz tends to have great ideas but often fails to reach their potential.
