One of the worst Koontz books, had a fast pace, but a cheesy B-horror type story with bland characters ( )

Not one of Dean Koontz's best but enjoyable nevertheless. I found it to be more like a teenage story. I thought the author had probably started to run out of ideas as the theme sounded very familiar with some of his earlier books but then realised it was a novel written by adaptation from a film script. ( )

this short novel will hold yoiu on the edge of your seat. do not start it unless you have a few hours to spend with it, as it keeps you glued to the story just as if you were hypnotozed. At least, it did that for me because it represents the struggle between G(o)od and Evil soooooo well. I award stars based on the clearness, tightness, and integrity of the story, not necessarily for the subject matter or time's approval. Re the latter, some solons are still offering James Fennimore Cooper as a "great" New York writer, and "The Last of the Mochicans" still is published and purchased and, presumably, read. Yet Cooper overwrites to such a degree it becomes a parody of style, and the "noble savage" becomes a paragon of bufoonery. ( )

I'm pretty sure this is the right book. The scene that I most remember is of some teenagers going through a carnival freak show tent, and seeing a deformed child (or fetus) in a jar. I'm pretty sure the title was "The Funhouse," but I don't remember it being written by Koontz. I can't find another one like it, though, so I'll assume this is it. Creepy. ( )
