To be honest, this is the second time that I've read this book. I don't remember when the first time was. A very long time ago, that's about it. I remember it being incredibly intense that first time I read it though. On my binge of these authors, this was one of the books that first popped into my head. I had to climb up into the attic to get this sucker out. That's how many books I've got. I started placing tupperware containers in the attic. One of them holds a massive amount of the Stephen King and Dean Koontz books.
Anyhoo, because I'd already read this book before, I didn't get as freaked out, but as usual, it did grab and hold my attention. I have this book in a hardbound cover with dust jacket. I'm not sure what it is about hard bounds, but I love it even more because of that one simple fact. I bought this brand new so again, that's one of those little things that make me cherish it more.
I think the only thing I didn't like was Dean Koontz was trying out placing said at the beginning of the sentences. To someone else, that may not have grabbed their attention, but for me, it was something small that did occasionally get to me.
Wargle is just a creepy guy. I forgot that Liev Schreiber played him in the movie. I knew he was in the movie, just that he didn't play that particular character. Creepy. ha-ha
Either way, still a fabulous book from Dean Koontz. But then again, this is the second read for me and a book has to be good for me to pass one read.
I would've been able to tell how long ago I read this if I started my little tip I do now to keep track. I place a sticky note at the beginning of the book (typically inside cover) and I write down my name, then the date I start, and date I end. I do my name as well because brother and I generally switch back and forth. This way if one of us grabs the book from the other to read, we can see who read it, and when.
I suggest giving that a try. It's fun to see when you last read the book, or how long it took you.
