Query: What a poor dialogue writer!

This was my second book by Mr Koontz (one more and maybe a final chance after the horrible, unspeakably bad The Taking) and if this is one of his best, it will be my last foray into his world. Everyone is raving about this book; they may have a point; but the dialogues in this book are the worst I have come across for years. I have found one of the weakest spots of Mr. Koontz: He simply cannot make people talk The ones between two lovers are particularly bad and laughable. Come on people who on earth talks like this in real world? The plot is somehow redeeming (actually better than Taking which had no plot in the first place) but if you find the characters talking in a gibberish way as if they are maronettes this ruins everything.Mr. Koontz, my humble advice: Go read Stephen King or John Le Carre and see how characters talk in fictional world-like real. Any merit your story may have is buckled under your sophomoric mouthings.Did I say the dialogues were terrible?
