First of all I haven't read anything by Dean Koontz before. I of course I had heard about this one in particular. So I thought I would try to find a copy and low and behold I did. Anyway yes it is weird, it starts off slow then weird then you can't put it down then I was rolling my eyes because what a twist that happens then of course I had to find out what happens. All that being said it is a roller coaster ride and if you have any interest in reading this particular book of Koontz, pick it up don't read any reviews before and and enjoy the crazy, weird, Ah ha ending of a ride.
