Lightning by Dean Koontz
4.0
This is the first book I have read by Dean Koontz and it definitely will not be my last.
I must admit that I've always heard very mixed opinions regarding Koontz's work, especially some of his newer titles, so I was a bit reluctant to start this book. I picked it up mainly because I needed a fun, easy read to break my reading slump.
The plot concerns time travel, and borrows quite a lot from the Terminator, but still has a good story. My only complaint is that some of the characters, even if I cared a lot about them, were very clichéd and stock-ish (I know this isn't a word, I apologize).
I also felt that this book could have been fleshed out a lot more, which could have resulted in more character development and possibly would have prevented some of the characters from becoming so clichéd.
4 stars.
