It's the name of the book. 'Sam's Letters To Jennifer'
I call senior moment! It was James Patterson, not Koontz. I've read to many books! I am starting to jumble the authors
I have tried Koontz many times and am usually disappointed. So I quit trying. However, his novel Intensity is one of my all-time favorite books.
I read Watchers in high school and liked it okay, but I was young. I thought Lightning was awful (say sorry) and Odd Thomas silly. I think it's just his style of writing that I don't like. Also (and I said this on the old board), his paragraphs were so short in the last couple of books I tried--like 2 or 3 sentences each--I just felt as if I were reading a children's book.
But Intensity...wow, it's like someone else wrote it.

That's what it seems to me, though I also thought you were mentioning a new author named "Sam".
When you get time try False Memory, The Taking, The Bad Place, and/or Midnight.
Dude, if there weren't so many other books calling me, I would. The last one I read, Velocity, was my last attempt. I promised myself I would not waste my time on him again.
Stop making promises you shouldn't keep!
Gawd, people, don't you all know by now that 'James Patterson' is King's newest non-de-plume?????? Sheeeessssshhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where have you all been?
Love the Odd Thomas books and one of my favorites is From the Corner of His Eye and another is Fear Nothing.
I think he's also Tara McFarlane. Not really.
Ok, I have read most of Koontz' books. I refuse to read anymore of his newer books that feature a supernaturally gifted Golden Retriever- ever. I am so-o freaking tired of that silly sub-plot in his books. Yes, I realize that he had a special Golden Retriever as a pet and that it passed away a few years ago (more like ten years!) but get over it, Dean! I love his older novels- Watchers (yes, I know, it features a supernaturally gifted Golden Retriever, but it was new and fresh back then!), Whispers, Night Chills, Phantoms, Twilight Eyes (most excellant!), The Vision, Intensity (yes, Danie, love this one too but there is a major plot hole in it), Hideaway, Lightning. I really like his books he wrote under K.R.Dwyer and Brian Coffey. I whole-heartedly suggest you read The Voice Of The Night. He wrote about a crazy teen boy way before it became popular to do so. Love the Odd Thomas series (although the last one features -well, you know what!), the Frankenstein series and the unfinished Christopher Snow series.
Oh, how I sometimes miss a good troll here. I used to have so much fun with them.
So naughty....
