Before he died on a storm-wracked night, Jimmy Tock's grandfather predicted there would be 5 dark days in his grandson's life-5 dates whose terrible events Jimmy must prepare himself to face. The first is to occur in his 20th yr, the last in his 30th. What terrifying events await Jimmy on the 5 critical days? What challenges must he survive? The path he follows will defy every expectation and will take all the love, humor and courage he possesses. For who Jimmy Tock is and what he must accomplish on the 5 days his world turns is a mystery both dangerous and wondrous....Life Expectancy...enjoy it while you can.

My husband rates it between 3-4 *s b/c of it's variation of plot from Koontz's familiar Man, Single-Mom, Kid, Dog plots. Although Koontz is not my husband's favorite author, he does like the genre and has read most of his titles, and thinks this is one of the better.
