Negative Positive
Title: A pretty juvenile book...
Review: Koontz seems unable to say anything in 10 words if he's able to find a way to say it in 60 words instead. I spent the majority of this book reading, "and he noticed how she moved" next page, next page next page. "He felt for the boy" next page, next page, next page....It's as if he wrote a 100 page book that they demanded that he turn into a longer novel...Very simplistic, the hero fails on nearly every level and yet we're supposed to feel pity for him. Koontz claims that autism can be caused by emotional trauma, a theory that was well disproved 40 years ago...this is a decent idea for a plot that is realized in such a terribly bloated plot as to be painful.Simply more evidence that the Odd Thomas books and everything else by Koontz could not have possibly have been written by the same author...wait for it to hit the .99cent bin...
