Horror.com Forums - Talk about horror. - What book u reading at the moment?

Finally finished Watchers by Dean Koontz. I began really loving the setup of the book, and then later on felt like some parts were trite and sappy, particularly the love story and the center of the book. Also felt like some parts were rather generic. However, by the end, I was won over by the story of an intelligent dog and the loyalty he both exhibited and inspired. I actually woke up at 4 in the morning seized by the compulsion to FINISH THE BOOK. Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen and how everything was going to play out, I was very satisfied that it followed the course.

BOTTOM LINE: Would I recommend this book? Yes.

wasnt too sappy was it?i know his books can be.but i know his books can have some very sinister characters aswell which make a mean read

It was a bit, but there were other qualities that made up for it. This is not heavy-duty stuff, or challenging, but a decent page turner.

I forget where I read it (maybe an issue of Motorbooty) but I thought the line of how "Cave was heavily influenced by the Thesaurus" summed up that book quite well :D

Hahaha totally. It's really irritating. I mean, I like the story and the setting, but sometimes I just have to roll my eyes at the points where he clearly found the most obscure word possible.

Naziploitation! The Nazi Image In Low-Brow Cinema And Culture.

Unfortunately, it's heavy on psycho-babble and way too short on actual film discussion. Although I did find out about a new film, Outpost (2008) while reading it, which I liked very much, so that's a plus.
