I'm finally reading again! I can't seem to update it for some reason, but I'm reading "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb.

Always so much drama in Sookie's life.

Ah, a nice relaxing story compared to the last book I read.

I think the ending will be better than the rest of the book. Hopefully they'll tie in all of the plots.

There's a lot of history. If it's true, humans have an even more horrifying past than I thought.

He took a small part and made it a huge part of the story...without connecting the dots. I feel like I'm missing a whole section.

I've never read so much about cannibalism.

So gruesome! But it's kind of the only thing keeping my interest.

Some subtle humor; it's nice.

So far very similar to "Seize the Night" but in a different tone, since it's a different character.

It's too soon to tell anything. But I wish I had read the first Odd Thomas book before I read this one.

After the first 100 pages, you get used to the monologish tone and then the story gets GOOD.

The story is much freer flowing now. Though the prologue does say it's supposed to be from the main character's journal...

I've gotten used to the rambling tangents and they are starting to fit into the story. Now it's getting tense, like it should be.

Finally able to read without wading through puddles of philosophy. It's becoming more of a story and less of a monologue.

It's like he wrote with a thesaurus. But it's finally picking up now. I wish you could feel the tension he's trying so hard to portray.

The descriptions are still distracting, and the lack of dialogue makes it a difficult read. WAY to much philosophizing.

Koontz's overuse of similes and wordy descriptions are distracting. Though, at times show what a great writer he could be...

I think it's going to be an enthralling book.
