The story in Devoted focusses around Woody Bookman, an autistic child, super genius that is limited by his inability to speak. I’ve noticed other reviewers likening it to Koontz’ other work – The Watchers, which I haven’t read, not sure if that is to my detriment or not? The book to me, felt like it just moved too slowly, and I did feel myself getting bored.

It’s a case of constantly reminding yourself that this is SCI-FI. It’s very much a book that gets very strange, very quickly. I really enjoy Dean Koontz books but, in this occasion, it was neither a favourite or one that I disliked. It was mostly successful in the theme of genetic mutation.
