2.0

The book is very very slow at the beginning, so much so I considered giving up on it several times - especially as the lead character (despite red flags everywhere) seems to ignore all rational and logic. There were just some really unrealistic decisions that played out - in my opinion. It wasn’t until about chapter 50ish that I thought it was actually worth finishing the book. As others might have stated, the book takes a weird sci-fi turn at the end. Overall, disappointed in this book as I usually like Dean Koontz books!
