I've never indulged in the world of Dean Koontz before and after this I don't think I will again. Writing style is fine as well as his characters and the nastiness he delivers. Why didn't I enjoy Intensity then? I just found it thoroughly uninteresting. With the plot it has, you'd think that one would be engaged from the outset (look up the synopsis for French film Haute Tension, they're practically identical), but it never once got me going. Whilst well written, the prose is at times way too flowery when all you want to do is cut to the chase, something of a handicap for a book titled "Intensity".
Just a bit boring. Shame really. Had potential.
2/5
