From the Corner of his eye, Dean Koontz

Advantages: Will keep you entertained for hours
Disadvantages: You won't want to put it down

This is the one book that has stayed in my mind for years and I can read over and over again. Dean Koontz has a way of keeping you mesmorised for hours. This book has been written in a way that only Dean Koontz can do, and its impossible to describe and I'd highly recommend reading this book. It is about an 8 year old boy who has lost his Dad, but isn't sad about losing his Dad because he is able to step between 'worlds' and in another 'world' his ...

From a buick 8 came a torrid book

Advantages: Loosely based on a true story, written after stephen king's car accident, some very nice styles and enthrawling twists!
Disadvantages: A killer car hrmmm... could this be Christine no.2?

...handling a fresh, new book from the shelf, the sweet papery scent that escaped it's clutches as you flickered through the pages, ahh the hidden delights of books. I think Tom got slightly exasperated on many occasions when I looked at this novel, it's divine purple flashes of light drew my attention, it's chrome fender on the cover flashing with sweet elegance ahhh what a cover hehe, but I was warned and never took the advice but I want to read ...
...the other the aftermath but From a Buick 8 does not fit into either category. Part was written beforehand and the rest finished after. Stephen King is a complete perfectionist and refuses to release a first draft, most of his novels and this in particular had certain references included that needed double checking and so resulted in a truthful display of Stephen King's modern day novels. I mentioned that the book is loosely based on a true story, ...

Four Past Midnight

Advantages: Book scares you into uncontrolled bowel movements

...of macabre himself composed of four chilling short stories or novellas. If you love horror stories that can drive you into paranoia and have you sleeping with the lights on THIS IS THE PERFECT NOVEL TO READ. This book is composed of very different and intensely chilling novellas. These are: The Langoliers: This begins where passengers who have been sleeping on a plan wake up to find they are alone and that those who were awake have disappeared; and ...
...but I am going to tell you that from there, things take a horrifying turn, and no, it's nothing like the average airplane movie and does not include terrorists. Secret Window Secret Garden: A man accused of plagarism The Library Policeman: You have to read this. This is just sick, and scary. It's about the main character sam who has a terrifying encounter with "the library policeman" when he was younger and is now afraid to set foot in a library. ...

Firestarter

Advantages: Loveable characters, great ending, 500 pages.
Disadvantages: Too long for some?

Stephen King is arguably one of the best writers alive today, if not of all time. He made himself famous with books such as Carrie and The Shining, and more recent books such as Cell. He specialises in Horror books, although he has also branched of into fantasy books on several occasions. In my opinion this book is somewhere in between horror and science fiction. The story follows the struggles of single father Andy McGee and his adorable daughter ...
...have given both of the psionic abilities. Charlie has the ability to start fires using her mind, a talent known as pyrokinesis. She is the story's main character, and the government assosiation "The Shop" are constantly hunting her down in order to test and harness her seemingly boundless power. Stephen King portrays the struggles of the young girl (around the age of 7 in the novel), as she tries cope with her extraordinary power and the government ...

Apocalypse by apes.

Advantages: A good introduction to the author

...second favourite author. I bought Fear Nothing through a book club, at a reduced price, but it is probably a lot cheaper by now. The Plot. The town of Moonlight Bay, home of twelve thousand inhabitants, hides a secret that for four years have been kept at bay. Now, the secret that will ultimately change the lives of Humanity is threatened by one person. Christopher Snow, has his own problems to deal with. At twenty-eight, he is one of a small ...
...disorder, xeroderma pigmentosus,a condition which makes him surceptical to skin cancer. All ultra-violet rays affect him, from the merest touch of sunlight to fluorescent tubes. Nicknamed “snowman” by his girlfriend Sasha Goodall, a deejay at the local radio station, the opening chapter sees Chris rushing to his dying Father’s bedside. In a poignant chapter, Chris’s problems with light are shown, as is his relationship with his father, who’s dying ...
