Title: Koontz is Slumming with this "Trilogy"
Product review: "Seize the Night", with its paragraph-long, faux-humorous relections and descriptions, seems like the work of an author who is creatively bankrupt and bored. The characters are plastic, cartoonish, two-dimensional, and totally unbelievable. The surfer lingo is so annoying that I was actually (spoiler warning) glad when Bobby was shot. I wanted to shoot him myself. Dean Koontz has basically written the same book about 25 times (boy and girl fight bad monster together, etc.), and Seize the Night is no exception. It reads like Koontz had a bunch of half-baked ideas and he threw them all at the wall to see what would stick (little does). Genetic mutations, exotic diseases, Hell, time travel, serial killers--it's all here folks! Step right in! One last note, if I have to read the words "sussurant" or "preternaturally" again in one of his books, I think I'm going to scream. Doesn't Koontz own a thesaurus? Save yourself $8 and read a newspaper instead...
