I did not care for this book at all. I have only read one other Dean Koontz book (that was Intensity 17 years ago). I generally enjoy a good thriller and I work with dogs so I thought it sounded like a good read. I was wrong. The story felt choppy-everything didn't start to come together until there were only 100 pages left. The dog involvement was supernatural and just didn't feel right. The child abuse is unnecessary and graphic. If you like Dean Koontz then you might like it, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.
