...it's not a bad reimagining of the mythos...I'm still slowly reading Frankenstein. I'm on book 3.
I love Dean's take on the Frankenstein mythos. He was able to bring some humor into the tale and still keep it suspenseful enough to where I was whipping thru the pages.I'm still slowly reading Frankenstein. I'm on book 3.
I only read the first one, was it called Prodigal Son or something similar.
I may have to revisit these

You quit smoking! Good for you! I quit 6 1/2 years ago myself. I know what you mean about reading and then wanting a ciggy- I was the same way at first.I am enjoying them. I am reading slowly because I read right before going to sleep, and often my eyes are just to tired to go more than a few pages. I used to read while smoking....but I quit smoking. At first, reading during the day was one of the activities I had to stop because it made me want a cigarette.
Yes, the banter between the two cops especially is funny.
...he's a different flavor...but quite enjoyable...I have 4 Dean Koontz books, 1 I bought from a charity shop, 3 I got for nothing from a school run reading initiative - people give them old books they don't want, and anyone can take them for free. They are:
Breathless
Icebound
The good guy
Velocity
I have an e-reader and someone gave me a CD with loads of Dean Koontz books, about 40 of them.
I've never read any though, I've actually never read any fiction by anyone other than king.
Really? I was always under the impression that they were very similar (king & Koontz) and that is why it tends to be king or Koontz - in that bizarre way that people have, such as Pepsi/coke, Ford/gm, PlayStation/Xbox etc....he's a different flavor...but quite enjoyable...
They aren't very similar despite an occasional subject matter similarity. If I'm handed a manuscript and told it was written either by King or Koontz I dare say I'll be able to tell which with a sentence or two. The tendency to compare the two authors is akin to comparing Van Gogh with Michelangelo.Really?

...no it isn't....Or Michelangelo with Leonardo (Ninja Turtles)
....they have always been lumped together as genre authors, but Koontz definitely has his own "voice" as does King...similar by subject matter as Blunt says, at least in some cases-but Koontz has much more impish sense of humor and tends to optimism, whereas King is much more descriptive in his characters, settings etc, and though he has his optimistic moments, trends toward the darker side in both humor and content...Really?

...no it isn't....
...and there you have the KingKoontzian Universe...Koontz= Bourganvillae and supernaturally gifted Golden Retrievers
King= Arc Sodium Lights and safety's on Glocks
That's a great way to describe them.....they have always been lumped together as genre authors, but Koontz definitely has his own "voice" as does King...similar by subject matter as Blunt says, at least in some cases-but Koontz has much more impish sense of humor and tends to optimism, whereas King is much more descriptive in his characters, settings etc, and though he has his optimistic moments, trends toward the darker side in both humor and content...
