I did not even realized how fast the time flew while reading this one - I could not put it down! Great plot, madness theme and creepy twist! My second Dean Koontz novel and definitely not the last one.Originally written under his Leigh Nichols pseudonym (hence why its different to a lot of his fare), The House of Thunder is the story of a young lady that wakes up after being in a coma for three weeks. After getting past an initial bout of amnesia she starts to see people from her past who were involved in the murder of her then boyfriend. However, they have not aged and she knows that some of them died not long after their crime. So how can this be? Can she really be being assaulted by
This was an entertaining read without much depth to it. Not Dean Koontz at his best but still very readable. The finale was a little bit too convoluted for me but I guess it was that or an even worse option to explain the strange events. Some silly dialogue, a doctor falling in love at first sight with a comatose patient and an entire town in cahoots to fool one individual did take a lot of swallowing but I still enjoyed it:) This is a book to while away a flew hours but which is probably not
The House Of Thunder, This being an older novel by Mr. Koontz, originally penned under the pseudonym Leigh Nichols, is not in my opinion his best work. Although I liked the book, I felt I couldn't connect with the characters.

The same is said about most of the characters that make appearances in this novel. It's very hard to care about characters you literally
Spooky and sinister, The House of Thunder often works on pure suspense and tells an unforgettable story.
Starts off strong, great premise and creepy presentation, then devolves into incoherent preposterous nonsense. Very disappointing.

Psychic(s) NopeThis book is god-fucking-awful. The first 3/4s of it is built with this formula:Weather report, witty dialogue, possible
