Loving all books, Dean Koontz, I'm not sure that I can say the same for this one. Normally, all of his books immediately draw me into the story. This one failed to do that until Chapter 51. Still, I would recommend it to anyone who can hold out until approximately the aforementioned chapter.

I have been reading Koontz's books for more than 15 years. He is my favorite author and I whenever I read one of his books I have to read it nonstop no matter how late I need to stay up to finish. I save every book of his that I buy, but I will be giving this one away. It was the only one of his books where I sat there at the end and went Huh? The description of the book does not really describe what the book is about. Koontz should stick to what he is good at. This was not a novel of suspense but rather an analysis of one man's pysche and motivations. It took more than 180 pages for anything even remotely unusual to happen!!! What a bore.

I agree that this book started out great, but kind of lost steam.
I love, adore, can't live without Koontz' books, but this one just wasn't what I expect from him.
Granted, it is still a good book, and worth reading, but not up to the intensity that you normally get from Koontz.

This is not one of my favs from Dean Koontz,I have read all of his books and this one is a bit wordie and kinda drags on.The ending kinda left me feeling down. I did not feel this book was about sef-discovery To me it seemed as if Dean started writing one book and changed his mind in the middle. But if you like Dean Koontz you may want to read this to make up your own mind

Not as good as many of Koontz's books. I am not sorry I read it but I thought it could have been better.
