Very odd book. So odd it's intertaining.

Not Koontz usual writing style in my opinion, there is not much "depth" to the story. One of the funniest things he's ever written though! I laughed ALOT..very fun book to read! Worth an evening in front of the fireplace, yaya.

A little lighter fare than most of Koontz' work, but still an enjoyable read.

C'mon how could you not love a book about a Voodoo doll that goes rogue and chases a man around town trying to kill him. There are scary moments in this story, but sometimes it is funny how the doll acts and what is done by the man in response to it. Then of course there is also the love story that develops and no not with the doll and the man.

A quick and fun read. Laugh out loud horror(?) best describes this book.

Bought the audio tape. Decided to listen to it in my car on the way to work. It got to the point that I just wanted to sit in my car just to see what would happen next. Let a friend borrow it and she felt the same way. We both became Koontz fans after that. I consider this one of his best!

I've enjoyed several of Koontz' books, but somehow I couldn't finish this one. Not because it was badly written or anything like that. It started out simply, with a character like most of us, doing the best he can in an everyday life. But then the character walks into an episode straight from the heart of the supernatural, and I just couldn't face what might come---so I shut it and decided to let someone else deal with the scary stuff to come. So I'm a coward===Sue me!

From back cover: Tommy Phan is a successful detective novelist, living the American Dream in southern California. One evening he comes home to find a small rag doll on his doorstep. It's a simple doll, covered entirely in white cloth, with crossed black stitches for the eyes and mouth, and another pair forming an X over the heart. Curious, he brings it inside. That night, Tommy hears an odd popping sound and looks up to see the stitches breaking over the doll's heart. And in minutes the fabric of Tommy Phan's reality will be torn apart. Something terrifying emerges from the pristine white cloth, something that will follow Tommy wherever he goes. Something that he can't destroy. It wants Tommy's life and he doesn't know why. He has only one ally, a beautiful, strangely intuitive waitress he meets by chance--or by a design far beyond his comprehension. He has too many questions, no answers, and very little time. Because the vicious and demonically clever doll has left this warning on Tommy's computer screen: The deadline is dawn.
