This is a great novel. Koontz creates a story that is both real and vivid. And most importantly I think the story contains a strong moral for us all to remember. I suggest this book to anyone who is interested in being entertained and educated. Another book I also recommend is Paul Omeziri's Descent into Illusion.

Absolutely the best book of the year! Heartfelt, warm, funny, and so very possible. Not the standard Koontz fare, as there was no 'monster', just the evil that exists in some forms of humans. And it is good to have evil called evil, not danced around like so many folks do. And who's to say that dogs are not the gatekeepers-most dogs I have met have more sense and wisdom than the humans around them.

I have been a Stephen King fan, and a Koontz fan, for a long time. Reading about things that certainly could not happen made the world we actually live in a little more pleasant to look at. Up until I read the Author's note at the end of this book, I never imagined that scholars believeing in utilitarian bioethics actually existed. I mean, sure there will always be a loose screw here and there, but that there are professionals meant to heal and actually do this everyday--seemed crazy to me. I was shocked. I enjoyed reading the book. Koontz always keeps me entertained. He has went to a whole different level, because instead of fiction, it's based on truth. (Not the characters, of course, or the alien-good v/s evil plot) but it has piqued an interest in me to learn more about these things that are really happening. So here I am, surfing the net, reading about things so horrible, I wouldn't have to pick up another fiction book in my life. I recommend this book to anyone. Not just for the fiction, though. I recommend it because it alerts us to stuff that is really happening. Read it, the take koontz' advice and learn more about it. I am. Maybe the more we learn, the more likely it is to be able to change things before it's too late.
