Negative Positive
Title: A total waste.
Review: I got a copy of this book a few years back as a Christmas gift, and the title and cover immediately put me off (and I'm really not the type that judges a book by it's cover). It wasn't until recently that I started reading this novel. Big mistake on my part. The novel began well enough, but then began a downward spiral. It had one of the oddest plots I've ever seen, and that alone normally wouldn't put me off a book. But in addition to the bizarre story line, it seemed as if Koontz had wrote the book, and then went back and looked up every word he had written in the thesaurus and replaced it with a synonym. Simple sentences were unneccesarily drawn out, and some of his figurative language (especially that which involved Middle Eastern conflict) was flat and boring. Truly one of the worst reads I've ever had the displeasure of enduring.
