Reading Concerns

[willow_25]

So, hello all.  I finished another book, the aforementioned Dean Koontz book of my last entry.  I have a few friends who are big fans, but I'd never read any of his books before.  At a book swap I had a while back, a friend had a bunch of his books she was giving away before moving, and I mentioned that I hadn't read any.  She chose three for me to read, all set in the same location.

So, I read "Fear Nothing" this week.  I am seriously torn about it.  I have gathered from friends that his books are supposed to be along the lines of Stephen King, kind of creepy and mysterious.  I was not creeped out at all, and I basically knew what was going to happen after the first few pages.  The only thing that was even vaguely surprising was how and why some of the secondary characters acted.

That said, once i got used to the writing style I was fine with it.  Not itching to sit there and finish the whole thing instantly, but interested, anyway.  I'm going to try the sequel, and if it's not better I'm going to give up and move on, and throw these three in the swap pile.

I'm not a Koontz fan. I found all of the books I read by him to be pretty much the same plot. I haven't read anything by him in years.
