Query: Muddled metaphors

I find it hard to believe that Dean Koontz actually wrote this book. Maybe he has cloned himself. WATCHERS was interesting, as well as a couple of others, but FALSE MEMORY is what I hope will soon be my false memory. Agonizing, tedious descriptions, similies and metaphors on every page, a ridiculous plot. Granted, Koontz is, at best, a time filler, but at least 350 pages could have been cut. Koontz' edge is that he writes about the area I live in, so that's usually a good hook. But this writing is so banal and sophmoric, I doubt whether I'll ever pick up a Dean Koontz story, no matter how bored I am.
