Book Review #81
What the Night Knows
by Dean Koontz
Highly readable and tough to put down. But Koontz does tend to go on and digress, using one purple prose metaphor after another. Also, the ending, which could have been devastating had Koontz not copped out, is muddled and rushed. While I understand that this is horror/fantasy, some things made no sense: the ghost dog, the Lego contraption, time travel, etc.
By the way, the novella, "Darkness Under the Sun," which is included in the mass market edition and which features the same villain, is even better and much, much shorter." I would rate it 3 and a half stars.
