Same themes over and over again. I’m afraid I’m going to have to put some space between me and my next Koontz book. I really like many of his books but he is in a severe rut in my opinion rewriting the same basic theme over and over.

Dean Koontz writes many thrilling, fast paced books - this is not one. Very little happens unless you like hearing about driving.

Dean Koontz has definitely evolved as an author. I love these books about good and evil, heroes and guardians. And quests that are not quests.

It was pretty good. Some parts of it lost my interest, and I feel like somethings could have been explained better, and that somethings weren’t even relevant to the story at all and were just fillers, but over all it was a good book for being the first of his I’ve ever read.

Review:

This books reminds me a lot of Odd Thomas.   Characters are quite funny and goofy.   Exciting from beginning to end.

Here is my rating system.  Of course this is all subjective

5 star exceptional.  Must read book
4 star excellent book.  I enjoyed it
3 star. Average.  Take it or leave it.  Just ok
2 star.  Bad.  I finished it but didn’t enjoy it
1 star.  Did not finish or so bad I wouldn’t recommend it
