content: Don't get me wrong, at times I love Koontz. I think Phantoms, Whispers, House of Thunder, and Intensity are among his best. BUT the other extreme are his characters that are super-perfect and overcome such odds that it left me rolling my eyes in exasperation. Also the ending greatly disapointed me. "Was" he or "Wasn't" he? There is no closure. Don't waste your time! Along with 'The Mask' one of Koontz's worst ever.
