Leave it to Koontz to pull a book out that made me want to read his work again. I have been so disappointed with the last few books before this one that I had lost hope, if you want to call it that, that he would never get back to writing some good stories. I liked the characters of this book and I liked the dialogue that was written. The ending was very well done which is nice considering other endings that Koontz has come up with that I didn't much care for.
