This was a good book from a story point of view. Not one of Deans best, by a long way. But good enough to hold your attention.
The narration, though I hesitate to be negative. Simply isn’t good. The female narrator was quite good. The male on the other hand. Left a lot to be desired.
His habit of making sentences where none exist was annoying.
For example:
“He was sure she couldn’t hear anything they said.”
Would be
“He was sure she couldn’t hear anything.” *pause*
“They said.”
Sounded like “They said” was the beginning of the next sentence. Which in turn threw you off for the next.

Good but not his best

Story started ok, falsely lured me in to thinking I'd care about the ending. Truly awful final half of the story, maybe try another book

I like Dean koontz but this was awful

Started off intriguing and interesting, but unfortunately for me became drawn out, unimaginative and boring.

fizzled out

This story started out great, was exciting & the characters easy to like. Unfortunately, half way through, the story became increasingly weird, as though I was listening to a completely different book. I kept rewinding to work out what was happening, but eventually I just lost interest. I did listen all the way to the end, & eventhough the story picked up a tad, it wasn’t worth it for the bizarre chunk in the middle.

BECAME WEIRD HALF WAY THROUGH, SPOILING THE WHOLE STORY..
