Psychological terms are common, allowing the reader to understand both sides equally. ( )This book was pretty good except for the love story part. The mistery and scary parts were good but the love story was to "fairy tale" and unrealistic. Crazy Guy tries to rape & murder a screen writer. She enlists the help of a cop & they go after him. There are twins. She kills one who attacks her again. They track down the other together. Okay, I'm a big Koontz fan, but this book . . . The story was good, the suspense everything I expected. What I didn't like is how it seemed to drag on (literately). I feel he could've cut a good chunk out of it without ruining the story. I could be a bit bias though, since I did have to buy a second copy after the first soaked up a nice size puddle. One of Koontz's darkest novels ever, almost everyone in the book has a dark and twisted past including the villian which i found to be very unique about a Koontz novel. Also the mystery really does a good job of keeping you guessing until the very end of the book. The book really plucks at your heart at certain points even creating a lot of sympathy for the villian, a very emotional, gripping novel. Not the best Koontz book ever, but definitly a classic favorate, one of his better novels to date. no reviews | add a review
