There is some adult content that usually one wouldn't see in a Koontz book.

    <body><![CDATA[Not the best work for Dean Koontz. I found the characters boring and lacking in interest. Without interesting characters a novel is no good. The novel did not seem to have the twists and turns his other books usually contain. The plots overall idea had potential but for some reason lacked interest. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45237771">more...</a>]]></body>
