5.0 out of 5 stars Another magical story from Dean Koontz
Verified PurchaseI'm a huge Koontz fan, enjoy all his books but this one really exceeded my expectations. The characters were so endearing, really and truly (a phrase from the story that warmed my heart every time) The action so exciting, hard to put down. This is one of my favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!
Verified PurchaseWhen at first the story seemed a little slow, there were so many details to absorb. I found that the details were the most important part of the book! Without them when the action really got going, you really had to know the characters, which made it so much more enjoyable. Once I was into the story, I couldn't stop. I lost a lot of sleep, but felt totally satisfied at the end. Good job Mr. Koontz!

5.0 out of 5 stars Uno de mis libros favoritos de Koontz
Verified PurchasePrimero, debo decir que me encanta que Koontz se aventure en la interpretación de la mecánica cuántica de muchos mundos, una fascinante plataforma de lanzamiento para un gran libro de ciencia ficción alegre con un corazón profundo. Leí este libro en Kindle, así que realmente no sabía cuánto tiempo había pasado hasta que revisé la página de bolsillo y vi que tenía 364 páginas. Parecía muy breve, pero solo puedo atribuirlo al hecho de que acabo de devorar este libro con tremendo entusiasmo. El libro logra tener personajes inolvidables: algunos muy malvados, algunos fascinantemente extravagantes y algunos verdaderamente adorables. ¿Cómo hace Koontz esto, una y otra vez? Este libro, como muchos de sus otros trabajos, te deja sintiendo tanta empatía por ciertos personajes, y también te mantiene sentado al borde de tu asiento hasta la última página. Este libro vale cada página. Incluso me encontré subrayando varios pasajes porque los encontraba increíblemente conmovedores.
