If I were comparing this with other Koontz books, I would give it a "4" — compared with everybody else it is definitely a "5." This novel shows just how good Dean Koontz has become since his mediocre SF novels of decades ago... he has taken one of the oldest plots in the world ("the biter bit") and turned it into a thrilling tour-de-force. I thought I was getting tired of all the "serial killer" novels coming out these days — actually I was — but it didn't matter; this one is at the top of my list. Incidentally, I got it from my public library... but if your library doesn't have it, I recommend buying it. Yes, I do sell books on the internet; no, I do not have this one for sale, nor do I expect to, unless some nice person gives me two free copies (in which case I will keep one of them on my own bookshelf). Now it's two years later and I just re-read my review. Guess what I am going to do now... (if you guessed go back and REREAD THIS BOOK you were right!) I expect to enjoy it a lot. And now it's a year or so later... and I did reread it and I did enjoy it a lot. Still recommended.Read full review
This was a great book, a little bit of a departure from some of his other books. I don't keep a lot of books, I try to pass them on, just because I have a very small house with limited space, so have to be very selective of the books I keep. I am keeping this one!

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This book was an excellent buy -- hard cover in 'like new' condition, no tattered or 'dog-eared' pages and the dust cover is in perfect condition. This is one of my favorite authors and i can highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction in the 'thriller/suspense' genre.
