Somehow it never really appealed to me, probably because I’m not in general a fan of “reimagining”. I may have to look at least the first couple of books, from what you say.

I thought it started out brilliantly, and continued so for two books, and then it was as though he was writing a bad TV movie (and I understand the series was partially turned into a bad TV movie starting Parker Posey). The last book of the first trilogy was awful, and the two-book sequel that followed was beyond awful. A great idea turning into a huge disappointment.

Waht a spread of canvas and what a plot. This book alone, in my opinion, is the classic of Koontz’s writings. No other Koontz book that he has written after this has measured up to it.
