I know it's been out for a while, but have you read The Husband by Dean Koontz?

The whole time I was reading it I was thinking, "Damn, this should be a movie."

Anyway, they are making it a movie. I was just wondering what everyone else thought of the book. I thought it was awesome until the end. I'm not saying the conclusion wasn't good, but they wrapped it up too fast.

It's really good and a very quick read. I think I read it in 3-4 hours or something like that.

:)

By the way, he still hasn't cut his hair :fro and he stopped trimming his beard too.

He borrowed it and didn't give it back.

Is that stealing?

You make the call.

wasn't he narc who helped him out really the po po stopping him for being a man of color running at night? and didn't he have to prove via DL hat he lived in the area and was not interested in burgalizing any of the nearby homes?

Just because he lives in the area it doesn't mean he's not interested in burglarizing the nearby homes.

Wife kidnapped, husband implicated, kidnappers are serious heavy weights and have knowingly outrageous monetary demands to get her back.

Thats as far as I got. Its obvious the husband is being setup to fail.

Knowing Koontz, some sort of supernatural "something" will take place during the ensuing drama.

funny story about ebooks too... turns out before the last harry potter book came out i got a link that was supposed to be the ebook... so i read the whole shit thinking damn im one of the few people who has read this here harry potter... its not even out yet.. and when the real thing came out it was some completely different shit... nothing was the same. turns out some dickhead just sat and wrote himself his very own harry potter book and i wasted all my time reading it.

I think it's a vintage GiG and NorCal collaboration brought back from the vaults.

There's nothing supernatural in the book. That's why it's not Kootz-esque.

Okay, yesterday I read this book.

Not as smooth to read as The Husband because it jumps back and forth between several timelines, but the plot is very unique. Very good book.

kori, if you like mysteries at all charles todd writes great ones. quick reads, but very good and set in post world war I britian. i would explain more, but amazon would have a better explanation. i read all 7 or 8 of them in a couple weeks. good stuff.
Kori Ellis
08-09-2006, 09:47 AM
Thanks. I'll look into Todd. I used to read a lot, but I got out of the habit and now I'm trying to get back into it. LJ has more work than me right now, so it's a good time for reading. I bought five books last week and I finished these two.

You must have missed the "What books have you read lately" thread. I had just finished it and really liked it a lot, and stated so in that thread. The ending was not too good, but it had me fom page 1.

DAMN YOU, KORI !!! I just dropped my daughter off at the church to go away for 4 days on a retreat out in Bandera and I have a ton of stuff I need to get done while she is gone. But now all I'm gonna do is go to the bookstore and get those 2 books you just mentioned and waste my time reading on the couch. You are a bad influence.:flipoff :lol
