Review of 'One door away from heaven' on 'Goodreads'

I remember (correctly? who knows!) liking Odd Thomas. ODAfH starts out fine, with three distinct storylines. Then it makes a slow, painful, nothing-but-cruel slog up to a wholly unsatisfying ending "tying" the three together. The only reason I finished it was because I was sure (?) Koontz was going to make the ending worth it. Big mistake!

The book, as a whole, was unrelentingly violent and cruel, as well as being repetitive and mind-bogglingly boring.

There is a particularly brutal and disgusting scene involving a pet snake about which this snake mom would have appreciated having a trigger warning.
