Title: Not one of Koontz's better books
Review: NOTE: a few spoilers in this review, so skip if you haven't read and mind hearing about minor plot points.Just finished this book on CD, and pretty disappointed overall. I do prefer Koontz's books that have a bit less of a supernatural theme, but even the others that I've read I liked more than this one. The main characters were okay, but the alien monster really never went anywhere and too much was left unexplained. The book ended far too abruptly with no follow-up on the characters afterwards (I was sure there'd be something made of how heroic the boy acted in particular), and there were parts that I laughed out loud at how absurd it became. He included a golden retriever as so many of his books do but the dog seemed totally unnecessary to the story, and introduced a glaring plot hole (why did the alien not just take control of him as it did other animals??) Overall, not his best work and a book you can skip without really missing much.
