Review of "From the Corner of His Eye" by Dean Koontz, Stephen Lang

This is a very complicated plot that is much better unabridged in order to get all of the details. The story revolves around a boy named Bartholomew. At the same time a girl is born in San Francisco, a result of a rape. Her mother dies. She is raised by her aunt. We move on to the villain who is truly evil from the first time he is introduced. He very suddenly murders his wife, and we find out that he kills without warning and what seems to be without reason. Our villain is looking for Bartholomew because he believes that this boy is a result of a rape he committed and he wants to destroy him. He is mistaken, but he does not learn that until very late in the book after he has killed cruelly several times.

In the meantime, Bartholomew loses his sight, but gains some mysterious powers. He shares some of these powers with the baby girl born in San Francisco. This is their story and about how they use the powers to protect themselves and the family of friends that have rallied around them.
