I loved the characters in this book. I especially loved how I started out hating one of them and rooting for his adversary, then by the end I hated the adversary even more and was rooting for the first guy. Only complaint is that if I'm going to read a book this long, the ending had better not be weak, and this one was kind of weak.

I love this book, more so i adore the characters. The idea that there are some that are different in little ways like this is amazing. Also a very good book for looking at dimensions in a laymans way.

One of the problems that over-zealous religious people often have is the back-fitting of science with their faith. That is what this book seems to suffer from. Koontz goes over-the-top in fitting String theory into his story and then making it seem that multi-verses are a Biblical idea. The characters are either too good or too evil as he labels the non-believing Junior as someone with no morals, and every over-zealous Christian in his book as perfectly moral. He brings us the "ideal boy", but forgoes the struggle any boy with the powers Bartholomew possesses would face. He makes every word of the boy a fairy-tale miracle, and you wonder if he's fallen too much in love with his character to really care about the realism of the plot. The characters of Celestina, Agnes and Vanadium are pathetically one-dimensional, and once again too idealistic to be realistic enough. The one positive thing about the book is the character of Junior. Koontz builds up the character of Junior as we learn more about him right till the end. Sadly, like Voldemort in Harry Potter, the final battle is anti-climatic and in one instance Junior goes from super psychological villain to cowardly thug, and this is where the book leaves you disappointed and with a sense of wastefulness. Overall if you want a simple biblical tale in black and white, this is your perfect read. If on the other hand you like characters you can relate to and who have shades of gray, this is the last book you want to pick up. 2/5, and that is being generous.

Pretty good book. Koontz is no King but I liked how he alternated paragraphs and gave you the killer's distorted point of view.

Hmm. I'm not really sure if I like this author but I will give another one a try, but I need a break from this kind of writing for a while.
