Review title: not well written
Product review: This is the kind of book that makes me doubt that it takes any talent to become a novelist aside from a general ability to compose a sentence and outline a plot. I don't care. I'm tired of pretending every successful writer can actually write. This book was contrived, forced, the dialogue rang completely untrue. The things Koontz seemed to want us to feel or think about the characters we didn't naturally feel or think about them. I found myself disagreeing with every "assessment" the narrator made regarding the characters. I don't have anything against Koontz, he can set up a sort of suspenseful pace that makes you keep reading, but aside from that I felt this book was badly written and showed a marked ignorance about how human beings act, talk, think...
