Query: The first page and a half of this book is rediculous

I'm not sure who I blame more for the shabby, poorly-thought opening paragraphs, Koontz or his editor. There is a serious blunder in the opening of this book. It begins with Odd wondering why anyone would want to read about his exploits. ??? He sees dead people, bodachs, travels in time ... and wonders why anyone would be interested in him? Odd would have to be dumber than a cracker to believe this, but his character as it develops in the book is not so naive and stupid. This opening is the worst case I can recall of a writer/editor tandem being guilty of an error so gross that it destroys the credibility of the main character. If Koontz had thought at all about this, during the editing, he would have rewritten the beginning. I just don't understand how a writer of his caliber could make such a mistake. Anyway, I'll keep reading his books because at some point in his novels there's always a plot point that grabs me.
