Query: *sigh* So Koontz Does Sell Out Every Now And Then

I've read a small handful of Koontz Novels. While some grabbed me and were great, some--like this one--struck me as nothing more than a poorly executed comercial effort to sell by the name of the author; and the name of the author is about all this book has going for it.Several reviewers felt that the book started out great and got bad. I am more under the impression that the books beginning was truly awful, and improved slightly by the end; either way, the effect is an awful book that is only vaguely interesting for half of it's extent. If you really want to give Koontz a fair read, go for Intensity or The Eyes of Darkness, and leave this one on the bookshelf. I am dissapointed in the author for even allowing this to be published under his real name--he should have left it to one of his extensive pseudonyms of the past.
