I enjoyed The Bad Weather Friend. It was a fairly light read that I did not necessarily want to put down, but could if I needed to. I would recommend this book to someone who already enjoys Dean Koontz and is looking for a read that will not force them to contemplate the mysteries of the world too much.

I am not a sci-fi reader. This book was definitely not for me. I wanted to DNF when a boy was turned into a bug. But I decided to skim the pages to see how it ended.

I have read many Dean Koontz books and loved them. I always considered him a milder Stephen King. This was my first book of his in about 20 years.  Very disappointing. The story seemed targeted toward 12 year old boys but with adult-level writing.
