Classic Dean Koontz novel with all the weird the man can possibly dish up! This was not one of my favorites, only because it was a bit too outlandish for me. And, way too much SCIENCE in the FICTION! His explanations for the weird events the creature/person would cause - too science-y and over my head. I read to be entertained; dare I must actually have to THINK when reading! :) No, really, learning is always good, but - in this case we're talking the physics of space and time. Need I say more? This is not to say that the book is completely bad, it is not. I went through periods where I was totally enthralled and then moments where boredom stepped in, mostly because it took too long to get through critical scenes amidst too much description & added history. I guess I'm just impatient but I don't like to wait 20 pages to figure out the outcome of a life and death situation. I will tend to look ahead which ruins the whole idea of a good suspense, right? I did truly enjoy the dog character in the book. I know Dean loves his dogs and some people will complain; but this is just more proof that his dog additions are fantastic! I don't think I would have made it through the book were it not for 'Woofer', 'Fella', 'Prince' the stray dog! A pooch smartened up by his many past encounters; both good and bad. He definitely was a 'good dog. good good good'!
