The continuation of the theme of new creations breaking down in the story makes sense. There is still some dragging, but it’s not as lengthy or as forced. The main characters fleshed out more, and it became less stilted from pointless exhaustive monologues about greater beings and forced stupid humor. The story came out a great deal more believable, with a number of good characterizations of supporting characters. If you have time to kill, and don’t hate yourself too much after reading the first book to continue with the story, it won’t be as much of a disappointment.
The graphic novel includes an introduction and the added bonus of an original story in comics form by Dean Koontz.Much better than the first book, which is not difficult, but it still suffers from a number of problems.
