but a mediocre Koontz novel is still better than many of the other suspense writers out there. I picked this up because my son is autistic and I was intrigued by the idea of an autistic character. Well, maybe it was Stephen Langs portrayal, but I found him to be very poorly characterized and not believable. It almost ruined the book for me. OK story I wish that there had been more to it, and Koontz wrote himself into a corner which he then magically got out of. Hmmm, now that I am writing this down, I think that I am going to go up and take away another star.
