Velocity by Dean Koontz

2008 5 May

I finished Velocity by Dean Koontz this weekend.  I had been taking this book to the allergist with me.  I have to sit there for 20 minutes (at the very least) so it was a great opportunity to get some reading done.

The book was pretty good.  It had me intrigued with in the first 50 pages and kept it through the end.  My one complaint – The story was properly stretched out through the whole book, but the ending was wrapped up in less than 25 pages.   All of sudden everything happened and it was pretty anti-climatic.

Much like the first Dean Koontz book I read, The Watchers, I enjoyed the book, I just don’t see me re-reading the book.

I think that must be one of things I look for in a book – the ability for the book to be read and read again, new things discovered each time and yet still intriguing. 

I started The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde today.  It’s my book for the doc’s office right now.  I might start another one to enjoy at home!

The Well of Lost Plots

2008 4 March

Sunday I stayed in bed and finished reading The Well of Lost Plots by Jaspar FForde. LOVED IT!!!! I am telling you if you have not read The Thursday Next series yet you need to! This particular one took me a little longer to get into (like 50 pages) but then I was in love again! Fforde’s mind is just mysterious – and I loved his explanation of why some folks use -our and some use -or, i.e. humour vs. humor.

I think next I will finish Dean Koontz’s Velocity.
