Query: Over written and not even deserving of one star

I have read a lot of Koontz's earlier works, but stoped about 6 years ago as they begain to be so very predictable. A friend, who agreed with me, insisted that I give Intensity a chance. They said it was comparable to Koontz'z old work and worthy of my time. WRONG. This book is so over written, I couldn't even finish it. No author should abuse the reader in this way. It was a total insult. I'm just happy I bought it on a sale table for $5.00, instead of paying the original full price.
