Definitely not one of his greatest works but it was an interesting story. Honestly I bought the book thinking it was about a kidnapping for some reason (I must have had it confused with another book), imagine my surprise when war of the worlds breaks loose in the first few pages. I liked this book because it was different, it has a decent twist and it does leave you wanting more. . . to keep reading and know what in the world is going on. The reason I didn't rate it higher is because the ending seemed almost forced. Like he either ran out of things to say or hit a deadline and had to get to the point, quick.

Is it worth reading? I think so, especially if you like disturbing/end of the world type stuff. But keep in mind if you are new to Koontz he has written many books that are WAY better so don't be turned off by this or think this is as good as it gets, because it is not. . .if you are a fan of Koontz, don't hold it against him. . . besides its not horrible just not his best work.
