Query: Not a normal Koontz novel...

What can I say? Koontz is normally one of my favorite authors, but this book...just wasn't up to par, even after the rewrite. In fact I feel the only reason he rewrote it was to through in some current names (such as Winona Ryder and Deep Blue) and to mention the internet. The plot was weak, but not as weak as the characters. The computer (who told the story) just babbled. I could cut half the words out of the novel and still not lose the story. The other two characters in the story were not developed. I could tell that this was one of Koontz's early works, I'm just surprised it got published (twice). The only plus this story had were the themes of male attitude towards women. Now this would make a good book to analyze for an english class, but not a whole lot of enjoyment.
