Good Points: Very fast paced, and a real page turner - you can't help when you get to the end of a chapter, just having a quick look at the next, and then realising you are five more chapters on.
Bad Points: None as far as I could see. I feel Dean Koontz has produced a very different and imaginative, fast-paced book which will certainly be a best-seller.
General comments: Dean Koontz, Velocity, what great book right from the start. A young barman called Billy goes out to his car after his shift and finds a note saying that if he goes to the police with this note a certain person will be killed, if he doesn't another type of person will be killed. Billy ignores the note and the story evolves from there.
Without spoiling the ending, I did guess who was doing the killings, but there is a bigger twist at the end, that catches you unawares.
It is a real pages turner, and just keeps on going. I would say to myself, well I get to the end of this chapter and go to put it down, but you are left with such a cliffhanger at the end of most of the chapters, that you can't help but read on, until you are forcing your eyes to stay open.
Great book, and sure to be another best-seller from the great Mr Koontz.
