Odd Interlude #3 by Dean Koontz

3.0

Not bad...a return to his earlier work involving "reasonable extensions" of existing recombinant DNA research, coupled with the fantasy of Odd's...oddities. Better than others of his more recent works, but still wordier than he used to be. Too much inane chatter from the characters and overuse of "SAT" words, as my kids like to call them. He used to be more crisp in his writing. Also, the action was formulaic, not as intrinsically frightening as some of his earlier books, perhaps because it was, in the end, not close enough to human evil to inspire true shivers. All in all, better than some of his recent books, but not up to the level of humor of Tick Tock, the humanity of Watchers, the psychological drama of Cold Fire, or the creativity of Lightning or Twilight Eyes. I'm hoping for better from Odd Apocalypse.
