I have read a few of Dean Koontz books before and was looking forward to reading this one as soon as I bought it. The first chapter involving the crash was really gripping and I couldnt put it down but soon after I was getting bored reading about the 'super natural' character and indeed I was too skipping a few paragraphs here and there. <br /> <br />The family in this book are great and the adoptive daughter's character had a great attitude which made me laugh. As soon as I discovered the twist in the book I was extremely gripped and could not put the book down. <br /> <br />The climax was not very exciting and although I enjoyed reading some parts of it I can honestly say i do not think i would recommend it. It is certainly not up to his normal standard.

I've been a big fan of Dean Koontz for a number of years and must admit to being a bit disapponted with this one. It isn't in any way bad, I simply found it average. I also found it difficult to stay interested in the anti-hero, and even found myself skipping pages on occasion to find out what happened to the characters I did care about. Good plot though, and as usual extremely well written.

This book is yet another classic from the amazing Mr Koontz. <br />Something which i think is unique about a lot of koontz books is that not only do I quickly get to really like the good guys in the book but I find myself filling with glee at the antics and wit of the killer as well. The character vassago is so bad how can he make me feel so good? <br />This book had me engrossed from start to finish, <br />I would consider it a must read for any koontz fan and if you are not you will be after reading this !
