Title: Writing is too cute and the similes/metaphors go on and on!
Product review: The story was interesting, a more or less novel concept, but dear God, the ridiculous and over-used similes and metaphors diminished the plot and made me gag as did the surfer lingo. When did it become unacceptable to say a persons face "turned white" or drained? Why does it have to be "turned as white as a person half way through putting on mime makeup for an evening performance" (that may not be the exact quote but it was much like it). Over use of A LOT of terms including "animal eye-shine" took away from the intrigue. The surfer lingo was annoying and diminished the story as well. This is the first Dean Koontz novel I've "read" (I listened to the audio version) and I'm not sure I'll read another one of his.
