Is this book perfectly written? No. Did I utterly enjoy my reread and will I reread this again in the future? Oh yes!
There are just some things about this particular Koontz that work extremely well for me. The pacing between the two POVs is very different, but for good reasons, and I think it just works. I really like both main characters a lot, and I like many of the side characters as well. The plot might be far-fetched at times, but the story makes sense, and it is thrilling, especially in the second half. Even though this time around I already knew much of the twists and turns ahead, I still had an excellent time and am glad I revisited this story.
