If I was rating this on sheer enjoyment alone, I'd give it four stars. It's completely implausible, the writing is like an overenthusiastic fanfic, the plot and characterization are questionable, and I found it hilariously funny in places where the author wasn't going for humor, but I still loved this. Sometimes you just need a "so bad it's good" book, especially after a string of disappointing or unsatisfying reads like I've had recently. That said, I can't rate it four stars, because I'm not rating on enjoyment factor alone. If anything, the enjoyment factor is why I'm rating it as high as I did! But if you're a Koontz fan and/or you like your books quick and enjoyable, go for it. You'll love it.
