Title: hakneyed plot, cookie-cutter characters and no protagonist
Product review: This book reads as though it were written in a week. Christopher Snow is virtually non-existent as anything other than a narrator. I know nothing about him other than the fact that he is light-sensitive. What makes him really unique as a person is beyond me. There were some interesting scenes - particularly within the first 100 pages - but if the reader is expecting plot tension similar to, say, "watchers," forget it. Also, the surf lingo and tongue-in-cheek observations of life are also trite and distracting. I have always enjoyed Koontz's novels - I have at least 10 on my shelves! - but this simply does not live up to his earlier work. A big dissappointment.
