Title: Trying Too Hard
Review: I love Dean Koontz, but feel like he needed to fulfill a contract with a publisher so churned this one out from leftover Odd parts. The plot is so promising, but the leading character is too flippant about the circumstances he finds himself in. I don't care how much a family loves to laugh, if you're being forced to aid and abet a homicidal killer you wouldn't be able to make wisecracks, and think about how much you want to marry some stranger you just met. I feel as though he wanted to create a lead character similar to Odd Thomas, but where Odd has compassion and thoughtfulness behind his character, this one is just plain shallow. This is typical of Dean Koontz in my opinion - he'll write some awesome thrillers interspersed with drivel. Take my advice and skip this one!
