Book Challenge Update 2006

13. The House of Thunder - Dean Koontz - 504 pages. Another Koontz book dealing with brainwashing and intrigue. I liked the main character, but didn't really go for the whole strange premise that was set up. The twist at the end was totally surprising, but it kind of fizzled out after they leave the main setting. Overall, not one of his best.

I've just gotten back into fiction... which of Koontz's books would you suggest? I just read The Taking and was a little let down at the end, but overall it was worth reading. Do you read any John Saul?

I used to read a bunch of John Saul and fondly remember Creature. Haven't read anything of his in forever. I'd also recommend Clive Barker, and Peter Straub in similar veins.

Duly noted - thank you! I'll have to check those out after the Knitting Olympics :)
