In the moments between School, housework, and all the other things I am trying to accomplish, I have been reading a rather surprising book by Dean Koontz. I had read a few of his early works and they were just too weird and violent. So I was really surprised to read this review of one of his newest books in the NC Register. I decided, based on Tim Drake's opinion, which I trust, to pick it up at the library. It has been just wonderful. True to everything Mr Drake says in his review and more. You have to read every word because it is filled with wonderful imagery, quirky humor and creepy themes. The plot is a twisting, turning thriller, based around a monastary. I am very impressed with his respectful treatment of the Faith, with just a bit of gentle ribbing to keep it interesting. I am only in the middle but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Interesting contrast to Inferno, definitely nothing lighthearted there!
Read the excellent review, you might be intrigued as well!
