Woot! I've finally found some time (and determination) to pump out a few more book reviews. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
1.
The Husband by Dean Koontz
First read day: December 11, 2006.
Last read day: December 27th, 2006.
Read Time: 8 days of reading for a 400 paged book.
Read Speed: 50 pages per day.
So this was another Koontz book along the lines of Velocity: not supernatural. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> It is an action thriller about an average man pushed to see just how far he will go to save the life of his wife. Once again an amazing thriller. Better than Velocity? Mayhap. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
2.
Lisey's Story by Stephen King
First read day: December 28th, 2006.
Last read day: January 17th, 2007.
Read Time: 15 days of reading for a 509 paged book.
Read Speed: 33.93333333333.... pages per day.
Another amazing story from Sire King (pardon the pun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ). His newest (well, as I write this post it is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ) This one was a bit different, but still just as awsome. It had a bit of a "fantasy" feel to it; a fantastic world revolving around a normal world. It seems like a normal story at first, but as you read on, it becomes more and more twisted and scary and fascinating. Any Stephen King fan (and even you not-yet-King-fans) read this book. Because even if you aren't one (a King fan), this book might make you another.
3.
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
First read day: January 18th, 2007.
Last read day: January 30th, 2007.
Read Time: 9 days of reading for a 446 paged book.
Read Speed: 49.5555555555... pages per day.
Lets just say its the stories of Odd Thomas, a young man who can see the dead. They don't speak, but they come to him for help so that they can pass on; usually for justice. Sounds like another boring Ghost Whisperer type thing? Well its not. Because ghosts are not the main course of these adventures. He sees other things as well, things that signal a soon-to-come brutal massacre. And in his small hometown, they are gathering. He has to stop the devestation to come before its too late.
What I said earlier. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> So, basically, a freaking awsome book.

Forever Odd by Dean Koontz
First read day: January 31st, 2007.
Last read day: Febuary 9th, 2007.
Read Time: 5 days of reading for a 334 paged book.
Read Speed: 66.8 pages per day.
So, Odd Thomas is up to his old tricks. That is, being unable to stop himself from being pulled into the need to save lives with the aid of those who have lost theirs. Another awsome book. Odd Thomas is a character that really captures you. He's just a normal guy, but not really. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
5.
Dragon's Of Autumn Twilight : Dragonlance Chronicles Volume 1 by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
First read day: Febuary 19th, 2007.
Last read day: March 7th, 2007.
Read Time: 9 days of reading for a 444 paged book.
Read Speed: 49.33333333333... pages per day.
I was worried that this was going to be one of those cruddy fantasy wannabe books. It wasn't. It was awsome. I'm really thinking of reading the whole series. ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> Ah, yea, if I ever find all the books. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I really would though, given the chance. It had a really cool story, memorable characters, and pulls you right into the LOTResque feeling of fantasy.
6.
Brother Odd by Dean Koontz
First read day: March 8th, 2007.
Last read day: March 14th, 2007.
Read Time: 5 days of reading for a 364 paged book.
Read Speed: 72.8 pages per day.
Once again, Odd Thomas had another super cool adventure. In fact, things seem to go to the next level in this one. The terror is rizing and Odd Thomas's retreat from the horrors he has lived only brings him to something more powerful and more terrible than he has ever encountered. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> READ THIS BOOK!
Allllll riiiight!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I think that's enough for now. I have 5 more books to review, and I'd better do it before I read more of 'em. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> See yall later!
