False Memory by Dean Koontz..Idk? HELP!?

[crimes]

I am only on page 40ish and I already want to rip out my eyeballs. Does this crap get good or does the crappy writing just ruin it? I tried reading Demon Seed a few years ago and UGH! WORSE.WRITING.EVER. So opinions on this book if you've read it and Dean Koontz in general? I feel like he is a Stephen King wannabe.

EXAMPLE: "Dew on the Gray Steps. Snail on the Second wet Tread. Crushed Hard Underfoot"

Sorry...what? English?
