This book just pretty much sums up my feelings about Koontz's work; an irresistable premise, likeable characters, and a lot of stuff happening... but that's pretty much it. As far as a pulpy good reads goes, 'The Good Guy' is pretty perfect, but it leaves you with the feeling that you've just wasted a small part of your time.  It's hard to sound like enjoyed it, but in actuality I really did get a kick out of this book. Basicaly, its a good book if you're looking for a fun quick read.
