"Koontz might have written an interesting story here...but I'm so put off by the truly TERRIBLE and unrealistic dialogue that I will forever hate this book.
The only other Koontz novel I attempted to read, I quit in the 3rd chapter because of his attempt at pretentious writing. Lightning is not pretentious, it's just bad. It must have been written before Koontz decided to write for people who wanted to FEEL smart.
Because his style is "this happened, then this, then this", there's no suspense in what should be a highly gripping story. Instead, it feels like he's simply documenting the tragic life of someone you'll never come to care about. The end. "

"Love Dean Koontz. I pick up one of his books and can't put it down! This is one of my favorites. Time travel, adventure, romance...it has it all. And we have to mention the amazing writing!"

"First book I read when I was twelve and stuck in bed in a half body cast. This book let me escape that for a little while. Been reading Koontz ever since. I'm 46 now. "
