Listened to this in November 2008 while on the roadtrip from Arlington, VA to Seattle, WA.
This is my first Koontz novel and I think he writes for a different age group. I realized I am a fan of classic science fiction – Koontz’s type of science fiction/thriller writing is bothersome to me. I am under the impression his audience is teenage boys or something like that with the one-sided narrative and outlandish themes.
There is little to no science in Koontz’s characters. The main character being light-phobic is okay, but the overall story was entirely too long (for no good reason). The last few discs were a chore to complete.
Unless you like Koontz already I would avoid this book, and I am reasonably sure I will avoid Koontz from now on for sci-fi/fiction.
Read more about it and buy it from here.
