Elsewhere by Dean Koontz
3.0
Elsewhere is a decent read that has some intense and fun moments. Dealing with parallel universes allows for some fun what-ifs, and I enjoyed learning about the other places, each time someone jumped to a different version of our world. I would have liked if Koontz had dug much deeper by better exploring those ideas and by spending additional time in those places, but I think this story was intended to be focused more on the impact such a possibility has on the family that we follow, rather than on the invention and parallel universes.
Something I really disliked was how the bad guys were caricatures, instead of being complex human beings; I was waiting for the main adversary to start twirling his mustache, while laughing, maniacally. The portrayal of these characters greatly lowered my enjoyment of the story, but I thought that Jeffy and Amity were written well.
If the concept of Elsewhere intrigues you, and you're not looking for something too sci-fi, I'd recommend picking up a copy.
