I usually like Dean Koontz but in this particular book, the main character is running a gambit of catastrophes and bizarre occurrences running from one side of town to the other in the course of 8 hours all of this after his dad dies in the hospital.


I know it is fiction but the progression of events is annoying.
* spoiler alert*

All in the course of 8 hours.
His dads body is stolen.
Visits friend.
Genetically engineered evil monkeys kill friend.
Evil monkeys play head games with main character.
Evil monkeys start fire.
Main character barely makes it out alive.
Main character goes to another friend.
eats - takes a shower they see the evil monkeys.
Main character leaves.
Evil monkeys stalk main character on bicycle.
Main character goes to another friend.
Weird things are discussed.
Main character leaves runs into
sheriff. Sheriff is becoming infected
with evil monkey traits.
Main character kills psychopathic cop then blows up his car.
There is 4 more hours of sunrise and
the main character spends all of them in even more bizarre life lessons which I am not going to mention. It is very redundant.( maybe redundant isn't the right word. I want to say incredulous but then why should I feel some sort of flaw in logic. I mean the book taking about evil monkeys for crying out loud!

I am almost finished with it and it is defiantly NOT a keeper. I am though turning pages as fast as I can to see what happens with the evil monkeys.
