I didn’t like that he took a turn for a sci-fi ending. I would never have chosen to read this book if I couldn’t believe the reality of the mystery.

Worst book I’ve ever read. So slow to read (literally took me months and I’m a fast reader), never held my interest, and the way the book ended just made me angry because it was completely out of left field. The genre ended up being alien-like instead of murder mystery. Don’t read this.

I usually find it easier to relate to or understand the characters in Koontz's books. The plot surprised me occasionally, which was nice. However, I thought the main character made some unfounded assumptions, leading to pretty drastic consequences that the reader is meant to accept without much questioning.
