The first half of Koontz's "Mr. Murder" is like a lame, and yet somehow even more unbelievable, version of King's "Dark Half". The second half continues in this vein, but adds in elements of poor sci-fi and a deep, dark, secret conspiracy that seems tacked on as an afterthought.

I found this book even a little too insipid for light-reading fare. ( )

Another wonderful Koontz book. This one takes you into an entire family, which is probably one of my all time favorate families in a book, i feel in love with them early on and they kept me hooked until the end. The concept of this book is identity as the bad guy is a clone of our protagisnist and believes that he stole his life, thus beginning our story. A very underrated Koontz book that everybody should give a chance and read. ( )

Really enjoyed this one, more than most Koontz I've read. ( )

I probably would not enjoy Koontz today, but there was a time when I bought his books in hardcover. This one cannot have been a favourite, since I barely remember what it is about.

To Phil Parks, for what is often within, and to Don Brautigam, for what is often without. And for having all that talent without any noticeable, annoying neuroses. Well, hardly any.

Martin Stillwater is a novelist with a wife and children he adores -- and an imagination he can't control. One rainy afternoon, a stranger breaks into Martin's house and accuses him of stealing his family, his name, and his life. Martin has no choice but to take his family and flee, even as he questions his own sanity. But wherever they go, the stranger is right behind them.
