BOOK REVIEW FROM THE CORNER OF THE EYE (made have mangled the title)

Ok, spent the night reading a fairly recent book by Dean Koontz
Title" From The Corner of The Eye".  Without giving away too much of the plot; involves two very remarkable children, their parents, a truly evil villain who seems unstoppable, some nifty adult friends and the 60's, 70's and 80's.  Maybe a few more years as well.  The bad guy is a serial killer. Koontz reveals more and more of his character over several chapters until we realize that he has not accidentally lost his wife who fell from a wooden fire tower.  Death progresses as does his increasing divide from reality unfortunately his hyper awareness as a true murderous paranoid impinges on more or unrelated victims who just happen to meet his internal requirements for speedy elimination.  Gah.  The children do not meet until they are both three years old.  I guarantee that you will fall in love with the good guys, root for the demise of the bad guy and be charmed by the various characters who show up and their place in the book is revealed.  There are couple of breath taking plot switches so grab a comfy chair, good light and settle in.  You are gonna love this book.
