Lost Momentum with 'Velocity'

Koontz, Dean. Velocity. London: HarperCollins 2006 (2005).

I chose this book for the cover (always a dangerous approach to the text, they say), and have shown it here because it is a very good cover. Although Velocity is well-written and well-edited, I've discovered that I just plain dislike thrillers, and I thus don't believe I can offer an unbiased review of the text.
