content: i dont really like opinionated reviews cause everyone has thier own tastes, until now.....this is just "bad, taking advantage of the public" writing,I would like the world to know how bad this book is. I wish i could shout it from the rooftops of every library and book store in the world, declaring how bad this guys writing is and how trite his characters conversations are. Ive only tried one other Koontz book ("the face" i think its called) and although that was better, it was still filled to the brim with endless, focusless conversations that are extremely unrealistic. He is very longwinded in his descriptions, and that is in no way a good thing at all cause they seem to be long just to fill space. Honestly this book could have been 50% less, although i wish it was 100%
