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.
