john saul, stephen king, god - the lot of the old stand-bys - i dont like them ..
there was one book .. it started with cops (dragon tears ? i dunno there's so many of them) and within 5 pages i was turned off of the characters ...
its the prose - style ... i just find it so ...static .. for lack of a better word (I'M not the writer :p )
i'm not an elitist - but i'm damn fussy - no doubt about that..

Books like movies and music are subjective in their quality. That's why I like them so much, regardless of what some people think, I'm allowed to like Citizen Toxie more than M (although I'm sorry, I don't). Don't know about Dragon Tears I've only read a few Koontz novels. Anyway, read the first part of Intesity, plow through it if it disgusts you... High Tension steals many parts scene for scene.
