    <body><![CDATA[By far the longest and most complex story by Dean Koontz I've ever read. However, in spite of this ... or perhaps, because of it ... the numerous characters are lively and interesting and the plot moves forward fast enough to keep you involved while still allowing you time to speculate on where you ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26175288">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this book as much as the other Dean Koontz one I read.  Maybe because the book is almost as old as I am, and his writing style has evolved a bit.  Plus, it's hard not to laugh when it's talking about a word processor with glowing green letters and a printer that had extra rollers so th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65230553">more...</a>]]></body>

His 3rd person style of writing is better than his 1st person, but still, he drags on for too long, becomes repetitive, and there were too many characters that I didn't care much about.
