Dean Koontz, in my opinion, is a pyschopath.  And I mean that in a good way.  I have not read a book by him in many many years, and this one had me checking my doors and windows several times to make sure they were locked.  Which, according to the book, locked doors and windows were no defense anyway so I was wasting my time.  It was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. 

I do admire Billy for the decisions he made, even though they may have been different than the ones I made.  Would I have gone to the police?  Thousands of what-ifs went through my mind as I was reading this book.  Since I've never been in a situation like that, I don't know for sure what I would have done.  Cried a lot, I'm sure. 

The only thing that really irritated me was the ending.  While it makes sense in some ways, I still felt it was just wrapped up WAY too nicely in the last chapter.  Maybe I'm just a cynic.

( so i'll remember in ten years )
