The Good Stuff
Unique, spooky storyline
Intriguing characters with good back story development
Story slowly builds until you are on the seat of your pants wondering what is going to happen
Loved the kid Winny - very unsusual kid, found myself worried that something would happen to him
The two old eccentric sisters are adorable and get the best dialogue
Hilarious dialogue at times which was exactly what you needed to read when the storyline was so creepy
Forgot how much I enjoyed reading Koontz's books, my fav is the Watchers
Love how he puts together groups of people in strange situations and shows how different characters react and how they work with each other - always fascinating
Like the maps of the layout of the building
nice little social commentary at times
Just a fun spooky wild ride - perfect for snuggling on the couch with on a cold winters night
The Not So Good Stuff
Spooked while reading had to sleep with the lights on -- you owe me a coffee Koontz, barely slept the night I finished reading
Could have used a wee bit of editing in terms of unneeded characters -- but hey he just kills them off anyway
A couple of stereotypical remarks about Librarians that made me snort in disgust
Favorite Quotes/Passages
"Offending a concierge was a bad idea. Your mail might go missing. The suit you expected back from the dry cleaner by Wednesday evening might be delivered to your apartment a week later. With food stains. Although flashing the finger at Norman would be satisfying, a full apology would require doubling the usual gratuity."
"Being famus and never knowing what to say would be the worst, everybody hanging on your every word but you didn't have any words for them to hang on. That would be like falling facedown into manure in front of everybody like twenty times a day, everyday of your life."
"Quick, vaguely glimpsed, and enigmatic describes my first husband`s performance in the bedroom and he wasn`t supernatural.``
``No, but he was cute,`` Edna said.
Who Should/Shouldn't Read
Fans of Koont`s works will enjoy, I also think fans of Stephen King will get something out of this
Those who like supernatural spooky stories will love
Not for those who don`t like to read scary stuff
