Query: not my cuppa....

You know when you're just about to get on a long flight and you grab a paperback at the airport newsstand? Well, I grabbed THE FACE thinking I'd amuse myself with a fun, fast paced suspense thriller. Having never read any of Koontz's prior works, I wasn't prepared for this strange mixture of genres: detective meets supernatural.I won't give away any of the plot points in case this is your kind of book...it wasn't mine. I will say, however, that good story structure and interesting characterizations wre overshadowed by corny dialogue, incessant pop culture references and some of the most repugnant, sadistic scenarios I've ever read in a work of fiction. If this were a movie, it would be rated NC-17.If you like angels and demons with your cops and killers, you will enjoy this. Otherwise, work on the crossword puzzle in the airline magazine.
