bookshelves: koontz, sci-fi, horror, own-it, paperback, hardcovers, rereading-this-year
Twenty years after the first reading of Lightning, I found it just as fun and gripping as it was back then. Was it dated? Um, yeah! But that was part of what made it so pleasant this time around. This is Koontz whn he still had some gas in the tank. Fast paced, witty, and uncluttered by tons of flowery prose, this is definitely a must for anyone who wonders what the big deal with Koontz was all about back in the eighties. Sorry, his last umpteen books have left me rolling my eyes and wondering just what the hell happened. I think I may revisit Watchers or Strangers next.

Excellent review, Adam. I have this novel and Demon Seed on my reading docket as an introduction to Koontz's writing. I believe I'll start with this one first, per your recommendation. I'll admit to not knowing what the big deal was with Koontz in the '80s, although my dad loves him.
I would also go with Watchers, Strangers, Twilight Eyes, and Phantoms, Joe. Demon Seed was pretty good, too. Midnight is another that stands out in my memory.
