FireDance said:I don't like the way Koontz writes. I dunno. I hear good things about his books and I read one and even though I don't like it the story is good and I have to finish it. I just don't like his "voice" or something. I've read 3 trying to give him a chance and probably won't do it again. And that really breaks my heart because I love the genre.

I have read some book by Koontz and like him a lot, although I have to admit haven't read everything he has written..

TIK said:I'll have you know based on YOUR recommendation, I went out and bought it. GREAT story so far. Getting introduced to that wise-acre 12 year old girl. WOW!! If a 12 year old ever talked that way to me, I'd think she was possessed by a 45 year old. Some funny lines.
But looking forward to seeing who this other little kid is, who's chasing the little kid, and what's that all about. And how the Senator fits into this. And Noah. VERY good.
Thanks Cardinal! You're the best!!!
TIK said:I know this is thread drift, but as for the "voice" of his writing, yes, if you are a King fan, which I inevitably compare Koontz to because I was reading King WAY before I found Koontz, it is different, and yes, annoying at times. To me, King has a special bond with being able to connect me as the reader with the kids in his books. Koontz has a way, if you can stand it, to connect with the horrors and thoughts of a person.
