review 1: I have read some Dean Koontz books that I really enjoyed. And this was one of them - up until the last few pages. Is it just me, or did it seem as though Mr. Koontz got bored with writing this and just stop? Nothing was resolved, nothing was explained, nothing was....well, just nothing. Believe me, I'm not the type of person who expects every book I read to end with a pat and simplistic fully-realized ending. I LIKE when the happily-ever-after is a question, when the future isn't certain and we need to use our imaginations to form the protagonists' future endeavors. But this? This gave no explanation for the story even being in the first place. I really expected to enjoy this - the build-up to the climax was very intriguing. Sad that the author decided to leave me... more unsatisfied.
review 2: I loved this book, from the lyrical beginning that lulls you into the setting and the mood of the story to the small hints at magic and the unknown beyond our understanding. I love how it didn't attempt to explain things too much and wet your imagination to make your own decisions about how things happened and why they came about the way they did. It is a very short and imaginative story, perfect for weekend read. less
