A review by cheri_maci
The Door to December by Richard Paige, Dean Koontz

1.0

This novel needs a major edit - there are pages of dialogue that go around in circles without making a point, right when the story should be hurrying towards a suspenseful conclusion any tension created is broken by pages and pages of Dan looking back to his past, the focus of the story is broken between Dan Haldene and what is happening with Melanie, with neither story drawing me in. The story starts with great promise but by the mid-point of a staggering 500 pages, it was not a question of how will this end but when will this end - and the ending was just pathetic - "Forgetting is the start of healing". That Melanie is autistic because of her experience is another story. Avoid this mess of a novel.
