Michael F. (msfenton) reviewed on 1/4/2010 + 18 more book reviews

It captured my curiosity, then my interest when I started reading the story. My rule of thumb is if I don't get interested in the first fifty pages I stop reading. i was captured. Then it all fell apart. One silly gambit after another until there was a pile of absurdities that went beyond interest to disgust and annoyance. Shelly's book was quite believable in a macabre way so the reader could be in both worlds, the obscene and reality. Koontz goes way too far until the story becomes total horror-fantasy and leaves even a hint of believability way behind. I had swapped for both book I and II but after reading I, I'm throwing both out. I won't even bother going through the effort to swap these because it would be spreading disease.
