Knowing Dean Koontz's reputation, I was excited to read this story. It did not fail to deliver. It was one that I, personally, could not read alone 'in the dark'. It was very descriptive in parts I'd rather not know about, but that's what makes it all the more interesting and frightening.

I was a little bit disappointed by the identity of the "being". I have this feeling a lot when I read Stephen King books as well.

It seems that most of the "monsters" I read in books like this are just normal people, which is a let down after all of that suspense. True that he has some supernatural powers, I feel like it would have been better if he had to be killed in a strange and exciting way, rather than just killed as a human being.

The writing in the book was fast-paced, which I enjoyed immensely. A few of the Dean Koontz books I have read were slow and hard for me to get into which led to me having to restart several times. So far this is my favorite Dean Koontz book to date.
