This book was the first Koontz book I ever read and it fascinated me. His strange mixture of horror and religious themes grabbed my attention right up front and I enjoyed every minute spent with the story and the characters. I absolutely loved the ending and wouldn't mind reading the whole book again just to be able to experience the ending once more.

It isn't as scary as other books--in fact, it is a little slow--and some parts are just a bit odd. But it is a great book and a good introduction to a great writer.
