Not very good drags out too much

Another great read. This book was originally published under the pseudonym Leigh Nichols. Dean Koontz Re-wrote it as himself and the added changes just enhanced the book. Certainly would recommend this book to anyone.

i enjoyed the book very much, to me this was more a psychological thriller than the typical horror stories i have read from Mr Koontz. the character development was excellent and well defined. had me wondering and trying to figure it almost to the end.
