I'm not a huge Koontz fan, but the story was fun... Cheesy, cheesy fun. Terrible writing. Awful voice acting. Didn't get much farther than Book II... We just couldn't take it anymore.

...

Currently reading The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood... It's the sequel to her Oryx and Crake... I can't recommend Oryx and Crake enough if you like a good post-apocalyptic tale. Also, if you've read Handmaid's Tale (which is fantastic), you'll love these books.

HIGHLY recommended.
i think u may be right, i am finding them a bit hard to get into.was thinking on giving up on them.

Listen to the books on CD - It's probably more enjoyable... At least you can laugh more at the voice acting. ;)

Icky Pucket by Matt White, funny, sick and scary all at the same time. Worth a look.
