Straight Edge Life

Every damn time I pick up one of Dean Koontz I feel like I’ve been kidnapped. Days are lost. Yes, I’m a slow reader. I like to savor things ok? And his stuff is just so damn fun to read. Two of my favorites are Fear Nothing and, now, The Face. Mostly because of the completeness of the main characters in both books. It’s nice when you actually start to care about the people as well as the story. And I give props to Dean for poking fun at Hollywood in The Face for failing to do exactly that, engage you.

The Face isn’t as scary as a lot of his stuff. It’s also not quite as predictable or formulaic. It’s just fun, and fresh. A great read. It’s out in paperback now, so it’s cheap. Pick it up at Target. Well worth the cover price.
