I think I read them - if so it has a long time ago. I read about 3 books a wk minimum (I am on the bus at least 2 hrs every work day). I'll definately check them out though.

Debby, another Dean Koontz suggestion: Dark Rivers of the Heart. I could NOT put that book down!

I was really glad to read that I was not the only one who couldn't read this new King and Struab book! And Debby, yes, I think he is just tired, he is getting out of the writing books business by the end of next year. One more Dark Tower in the works and one more thriller and he is throwing down his pen. Of course, I am sure that he has plenty of short stories he wrote in college (his best writing days imo) to shore out and keep him comfortable. My guess is he will go and write under a misnomer like he did the Bachman series, to get out of the pressure of being King. I love his early books, have all his books in hard back, a few are autographed and I have a college paper of his I bought at an auction! But his books of late, I can't seem to get into at all.

Debby I would highly recommend Insomnia by Dean Koontz, if you haven't read it, I doubt you will be able to put it down. It was really great!

Thanks guys...I wrote all of those down!!! I now have 5 books by Dean Koontz on my list...I will narrow it down to two or three to start with, by reading the backs of the books...I can't wait! I have never read anything by him!

That was the name of the book Debby Intensity, not insomnia, though reading it made it hard to put down and I read late into the night. Thanks Jin for correcting me. Guess my brain is fried from studying.

Oh! You're in for a treat then!! He is one of my favorite authors..his stories are very fantastical and imaginative. Once you start reading one, you just can't put it down

Intensity was amazing!
Last summer I took it when we went camping, I started it the first day there, and finished it about 2 hours after we got back! Could NOT put that book down! Not the best book to be reading while you're a passenger coming back from the woods! :LOL:

I just finished Koontz's Whispers, also very good, although I did have it figured out before the end, it was still cool to see how it all came together.
