I haven't read Lightning yet, that good huh? I'll have to check it out.

I was impressed by Watchers and not disappointed by Mr. Murder, but I haven't read another Dean Koontz book I liked.

I heard it wasn't a really good book. Although I'm still going to read it because I hate not finishing a series I started even if it's not great I make myself finsh. No clue why.

Just finished Gord Rollo's The Jigsaw Man. Rough stuff, slightly over the top in its neonoir grindhouse cruelty but still highly recommended for hardcore horror fans.
