leaning toward a 4 star rating.  It's a long book but a quick read.  The story has 2 things going on and that is why it is a slightly lower rating.  If the author had focused on one or the other I think it would be stronger.  Henry survives a near death experience and is able to see the emotions of people and read their thoughts.  As the story progresses Henry is involved with some bad people (don't want to reveal plot) and then there is the side story of an alien/monster.  I liked the general writing and enjoyed the overall plot movement.  Maybe more focus and 100 pages shorter and this would have been a higher rating.  I would still recommend for those who like horror and supernatural
