Ratings and reviews

Best novel I've read in a long time! Made me hug my pets more and believe that to love someone is not only meant for the human species, but, our fur babies show and give us love and affection unconditionally 💕 Thabk you Mr Kootz for this amazing gift of prose! Bravo 👏

People tend to overlook Koontz in favor of Stephen King. They both have their unique writing styles. I started with King, & became a very big fan of Koontz. With King there sometimes he becomes. A little redundant, while Koontz, spells it out faster, and it's just as good, if not better then Kings work. Reading Koontz, was like a fresh breath of air. Highly recommend.

I can't possibly understand how anyone could find this even remotely boring! This is one of my all time favorites, I've read it several times. It's so engrossing and difficult to put down. You really grow attached and fall in love with Einstein. Such an original and creative fiction, rivaled only by his other work One Door Away from Heaven. 10/10 recommend.
