Creepy, odd and suspenseful with lots of surprises. Koontz is so obviously a Golden Retriever fan, and the idea of the dog-hero-angel was very cool. I found the child abuse and torture difficult, but didn't put the book down because, knowing Koontz, he'd find a positive way out of the darkness. And he did. Not one I'd lightly recommend, and not one of my favorite Koontz stories due to the child abuse.
