One of my all time favorite Koontz books. I think his really early stuff was the best. I've read a few of his in recent years that I thought were not even worth the time to read them. I will be reading this one again someday.

This book was awful, contrived, and over extended. The characters were far to perfect and the plot was full of holes. The concept was interesting, but needed more development and better story telling.

Has a great premise and the paradoxes keep you thinking, but all-in-all, not one of Koontz's usual page-turners. Does grapple with big questions like "is everything predetermined" and "can we escape our fate".

It does start to get exciting at the end but not the usual adrenaline ride from cover to cover that I'm used to (and love) with this author.
