    It wasn't until after I'd finished A Winter Haunting that I realized it was a sequel. I'd have read the first book first if I'd known, and maybe it would have made more sense, but as a stand-alone book it sucked. I like to give authors a second try, so I'll probably find something else of his...

    Intensity is definitely one of Koontz's best novels. Velocity is pretty damn good too, if not as strong. I liked the mystery of it, anyway. Very suspenseful.

    Breathless was okay, certainly not a 5 star effort, by any means. I mostly enjoyed the plot of the guy killing his brother and wish it was its own story, a novella or something. All the separate plot lines in the book seemed to be their own story, made the book feel like a book of short stories...
