Title: book starts off with a rape
Review: Good going, Dean Koontz. Start the book off with a descriptive rape. Yes, the women may prevail by the end of the book (I'm guessing, I didn't get past page 5) but as a woman, I was terribly offended by the first few pages.I have read other Koontz books. The Face was marvelous, clever, smart. This seemed almost to be written by a different man. Maybe he's gotten better as his skills improved, but I couldn't read this book and quite frankly, am ok with that. Just warning the other women in the audience thinking of reading this for the thriller aspect that may waste their money. If you are ok reading these details, then go right ahead. As for me, I will move on to another book. It hasn't turned me off of Koontz, I think he is good sometimes, but this was difficult to get past.
