Typical Dean Koontz. It's got a dog that is super intelligent, a family that is being terrorized for no apparent reason, and bad guys that will stop at nothing to get the good guys.

It may sound silly, but the thing that bothered me most about "Relentless" is the scene where the family was sitting down to dinner with the babysitter. He (Koontz) described the pot of soup simmering on the stove, but later when they are eating someone (Milo?) says something and they all stop eating with their forks halfway to their mouths. Ok, either tell me what else they may have been eating or give them spoons!
