Watchers - Dean Koontz, Edoardo Ballerini

This book keeps sounding echoes in my head.

 

I've just been through the slightly plodding explanation of the relationship between The Outsider and The Dog and it seems to me that I'm right back with Mary Shelley's Creature in 'Frankenstein'.

 

The writing style raises the ghost of L Ron Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth" with its saccharine approach to women as objects of romance mixed in with outrage at the violence of the bad guys. 

 

It's entertaining in a 'three chords and a snare drum' kind of way: familiar and easy.
