Yeah, the description looked good! It takes a lot for a book to hold my interest, so I'm optimistic about it!! I have to start tonight.

I also like John Grisham. I've not read his books, but I've liked the movies based on his stories.

I told my hubby that I might make him read it and tell me what it's about. lol I read the reviews on amazon and I'm worried about some of the stuff. I don't handle innocent people getting hurt very well! But, I'm going to try it!

(In school, if we had to read a story about an animal, my mom would read it and do my homework. She'd tell me enough that I could pass the test. I'm really sensitive about animals, so I don't read or watch anything with animals as main characters! lol)

I've read some Dean Koontz, and some I liked some I didn't. I thought the Odd Thomas ones were great - I'm hoping this one is good!

Good choice! :)

I dont even know what Vanilla Sky was about! I watched it, forced myself, and never did figure it out.

I agree that it was a waste!

I like the Odd Thomas series, but I haven't read much more from him..
I was just looking at books today but didn't get one.. I hope I get it before then so I can participate.

i'm down.

wait im confused about the vanilla sky comment -- did you like it or hate it?

did you know it was a remake of a spanish movie that also had penelope cruz in it? it was a much better movie i thought.

My hubby reads Dean Koontz books, but I've never read them. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I'll try it!

Just a warning here. A) I have NOT read the book B) I haven't read anything by this author. It was #1 on the NY Time list so I figure 8 gazillion people can't be wrong (well... there was Vanilla Sky so I don't always trust the masses)

THE HUSBAND, by Dean Koontz

http://www.amazon.com/Husband-De
an-Koontz/dp/0553804790

We will have until the 25th to complete the book and will discuss it that week.

M&C... the offspring.
