I really enjoyed this story and found myself captivated by the Greenwich family and rooting for them to overcome the terror of Shearman Waxx. I could have done without Koontz's foreshadowing however (don't tell me that something ominous will happen; let me be surprised when it does!) Also, the narration could have been a bit better. The narrator mispronounced a few words in the course of the story which detracted from the story line. In typical Dean Koontz fashion, the story has an unexpected twist at the end, which is always enjoyable!
