"This quickly became one of my favorite Koontz books. While the story line could be interpreted as a little close to Kings "Dark Half"- it quickly evolved into its own web. I especially loved how the ending- while not completely realistic didn't leave with everything intact- there was some sacrifice that was made by the main character." — Carol (4 out of 5 stars)

" Love Dean Koontz "
" This one really made me a little nervous. I didn't like to listen to it when I was alone. "
" One of my favorite books by Mr. Koontz and I have read quite a few. "
" An excellent suspense story mixed with sci-fiction. The main character encounters a look-a-like artificial being who believes he has stolen his life. This look-a-like wants to take back his life, wife, and children. This suspense is so haunting you won't be able to put it down! "
" Not one of Koontz's best. Quite predictable "
" Part of my Koontz-Blitz. I didn't expect to like this one because of the silly title, but the story itself was a frantic chase that did not disappoint. He has better, but this was classic Koontz. "
" To be honest - this book scared me to death. But I think it is my favorite Dean Koontz book. "
" Very heart pumping and suspenceful. "
" Soooooooo much better than the movie!! "
" I read Koontz in high school, so i don't remember enough of the plots to give them fair reviews. One day i might go back and read these novels; but for now, Mr Koontz gets the Agent Orange Star System. "
" I found times when I raced through and others lagged a little. still worth reading. typical koontz. but some good laughs. "
" DISTURBING!!!! "
" This one really got me...how easy would it be for someone to steal your life and what would you do to get it back? And WHY would someone do that? "
" even if you are not into the typical koontz you might like this it is GOOD "
" Dean Koontz is a genius writer! Love this book. "
" hope to see this turned into a movie. "
" A bad book... "
" This is possibly my favorite Dean Koontz book, among lots of favorites of his. I was reading it at a pivotal time in my life and it was so fitting...and a wonderful escape from reality. "
" After reading this one... I think I finally understood why people read Dean Koontz. It keeps you entranced in the entire time you are reading, you keep reading to see if the next page something is going to get solved, and wonder when the morals are going to come in... they never do. "
" I truly love Koontz and enjoyed every page of this read. Yes, we have seen this story before but it was still full of suspense. "
" One of the first horror books i ever read......scared the tar out of me....still can't stop at rest stops! "
" Very crafty antagonist + good pacing and action = one great read "
" This could have been as bad as Stephen King's The Dark Half. Only it wasn't. The characters were much more interesting, especially the relationship between the father and his children. A lot of suspense and a good action. Highly recommended. "
" This book was so confusing! I didn't know who to believe!Def. will be reading this again! "
" I don't know why, but I had the hardest time getting through this book. normally, I love Koontz's books, but this one felt like a cliche, the suspense just wasn't there. I am glad I finally finished it. onto the next! "
" Took a bit to get into but then I got hooked. Not my typical read but I might try another of his books. Very disturbing in parts. "
" I had to reread this exciting novel again. I love the suspense that Koontz pulls you in with and how he interchanges POV between the scenes, kind of like a soap opera. This book is a favorite of mine and one kept me hypnotized even the second time through. "
" Here is another book by Dean Koontz that took off right from the beginning and was very hard to put down. Totally loved it! "
" What a unique plot! I loved it "
" wasen't as scary as i thought it would be. but totally interesting "
" dean koontz is one of my favorite authors, but this is not one of my favorite books of his.it seemed to get off to such a slow start. "
" Het eerste boek wat ik van Koontz heb gelezen.Na 2x wegleggen uitgelezen, onwijs spannend verhaal! "
