...I concur...and I do believe you'll enjoy it...his sense of humor is what keeps drawing me back...So glad to hear so many positive reviews. The City is in my TBR pile (I'm sorta saving it for a rainy day, while I catch up on Kings older books that I have yet to read) I've read practically every thing Koontz has in print and am yet to be dissapointed by anything he has written, but IMO the Face (2003), One Door Away from Heaven(2001), From the Corner of His Eye(2000) and False Memory(1999) are the strongest of his books in the last 15 yrs. If the City is as good as those, Happy days.
