Typical Koontz. Mildly interesting at the beginning, then relatively exciting from the middle onwards, with poetry vomit describing stuff and whatnot at regular intervals. Overall okay, but not one of his best.
That he does. I actually read the first book of that series sometime last year and remember loving the heck out of it. Never got around to reading the sequels, though, as I've read that they've gotten progressively worse in quality. Thought I'd get off the potential trainwreck while I still could.
I'm in the middle of rereading the entire Bond series in chronological order. so I've finished Charlie Higson's "Young Bond" and Fleming's run. Next up is Kngsley Amis's "Colonel Sun" then Sebastian Faulk's "Devil May Care" before getting into my favorite part, the John Gardner books.
Fever Dream by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Its another book in their line of novels dealing with the character of Aloysius Pendergast. When I saw it dealt with him searching for the truth behind his wife's death that occured years prior to the first of their novels to feature Agent Pendergast--Relic for those who are interested--I was a bit skeptical of the book. The synopsis made it sound like the authors were running out of ideas.
I was wrong; here we get to see Pendergast in a state of depression which seems to be leading him to a mental state similar to that of his brother, Diogenes...its a great page-turner.
