Query: My first dose of Koontz... and I was hooked!

This is the first novel I picked up from Dean Koontz. In this story I found sure entertainment, excitement and intruiging mystery. Like Intensity, which is my favorite Koontz by far, Lightning zips along from the very beginning, making it very hard to put down.Since reading this novel I have gone on to read other great Koontz stories, and regardless of what some may say about his writing, I highly recommend his work for someone who wants real entertainment, fun and excitement, with colorful characters and clever twists. Koontz is a natural!
