The character with DS was more clairvoyent if I'm thinking of the right book, but lived in an instituitional setting, I think. Ahh, been along time. hehe. I found the twist that he put on the person with DS (the ablitity to see something that others couldn't) to be interesting. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 You are thinking of the right book, Joy. I read it a long time ago, too. I have read most of Dean Koontz's books....I like the suspense stuff Maura ----Original Message Follows---- From: JTesmer799@...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 I also read that book years ago. IMO Koonz and King are both very similar ... they find a formula that works and then boringly do the same book after book after book ... with the characters just repeats of earlier books. I will have to be EXTREMELY bored to read another King book!!!! Cheryl in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you guys make me want to go get Koonts book and read it (as IF I have time to read with 5 kids and all hehe) Take Care, Shelby :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 Didn't know if you knew.....but quite a while back, le Steele also included a person with DS in a book. I believe the name of it was " Accident " or something including that in the title. Just thought I'd share. ~Sandy O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
