My least favorite DK novel.I normally read one of his novels in 1 or 2 days.I've been slogging through this yawnfest for over a month and I'm still not done.I don't think I'll bother, though.
However, if you like to read about poor, innocent animals dying horrible deaths, this is the book for you.

I am still reading this novel, but as usual Mr koontz haS done a great job.The book is full of suspense,intrigue and complex characters, yet it is an easy read.
Mr. Koontz has once again gone to the twilight side of people to provide excellent entertaitment.

NOTE: a few spoilers in this review, so skip if you haven't read and mind hearing about minor plot points.
Just finished this book on CD, and pretty disappointed overall. I do prefer Koontz's books that have a bit less of a supernatural theme, but even the others that I've read I liked more than this one. The main characters were okay, but the alien monster really never went anywhere and too much was left unexplained. The book ended far too abruptly with no follow-up on the characters afterwards (I was sure there'd be something made of how heroic the boy acted in particular), and there were parts that I laughed out loud at how absurd it became. He included a golden retriever as so many of his books do but the dog seemed totally unnecessary to the story, and introduced a glaring plot hole (why did the alien not just take control of him as it did other animals??) Overall, not his best work and a book you can skip without really missing much.

Dean Koontz did a great job of creating fears in my mind throughout this story. These fears came from humanly creatures on earth, in Los Angeles, and from creatures from another place in Montana no less.
I liked the setting of most of the story in Montana, where people are closer to nature. Also where people loved, respected, and prepared for Nature's wrath. I also always enjoy a story where people are able to prepare and defend themselves against threats to their families and to themselves and do not rely on others to protect them.
This story was scary and a real "page turner". I really enjoyed it. Please click if this helped you or no; thanks.

I found the first three-fourths of the book boring and slow moving.I normally love Koontz, but I do not recommend this one.
