Let me start by saying I very much enjoy reading anything Dean Koontz. Even if the reviews have been fairly dim I always get excited when I get another one of his books or see he has a new book coming out soon. With that being said I keep flip flopping on "Tick Tock". The premise of the story, I think, is brilliant but for some odd reason I cannot get myself to sit down and read it at a constant rate. I think I started this book as one of the first 3 Dean Koontz books I ever read so that must have been at least 5 years ago or more and I have yet to finish.
It is definitely written well enough that it intrigues me when I finally get around to reading it and I can remember whatever I had already read in the book even when I put it down and pick it up months to a year or so later.
So I'm not sure what it is. Maybe just following a character being chased by a doll has enough umph for me to want to keep reading it but it almost feels like a story I could have read by R.L.Stine when "Goosebumps" was popular amongst the adolescents of my age. (i.e. Night of the living Dummy) but I just can't throw myself into it enough to actually finish reading it. Hopefully one day I will and maybe then I'll feel a better sense of the book in it's entirety.
