Below is my initial review... but one more comment and I'll drop it! I read the Odd interlude stories. Each one stood alone and was great. So good that I was disappointed that the stories weren't mentioned in the next book. But that was forgivable. We love Odd. So when this little story was pushed as a 'read me first' to Innocence I expected the same thing. Not only was it not... it wasn't completely understandable until the end of Innocence. I don't expect Koontz to be reading his reviews from the average reader, but I hope someone gives him and his publisher both a good elbow jab!***I love Koontz's descriptive writing. I can't believe that I'm giving one of his books a poor rating. But I felt this book was a waste of my time. There was no insight that was divulged by reading it before Innocence. The main character was brought to life perfectly in Innocence and much of this story is repeated. It should've been shortened into an intro that came with the book. Was it actually a marketing ploy? Idk. It was only a dollar. And it's not like I've ever seen a Koontz book on sale. But I've read some good books through Amazon for 99... and some were free! So I don't know what to think... I'm just disappointed.
