Review: Dean Koontz, This Book Is Not
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 07 12, 2013
This story is typical of those written by Dean Koontz.  Strange happenings that lead to exciting endings.  But this author has not gotten the hang of it.  First of all, the characters are not that interesting.  Secondly, the things that happen to them are tedious and unrealistic.  It would be enough to have one example of a paranormal happening, but there are way too many in this plot.  People are yanked into the air and disappear.  Vines grow and entrap people.  Fire comes to earth and tornadoes destroy things.  Blizzards freeze people to death.  Others explode so their eyes pop out.  At the climax, zombies walk toward a blue sphere and somehow destroy it. Yikes!
