I liked Koontz's earlier books ( Phantoms, etc) but somewhere in the late 80's, he started writing these insufferable characters. His leading characters became saints, all noble and caring for an invalid, or a mentally challanged child, or being just gosh-dang wonderful stand up tried and true blue Saints.  Am not sure what began or triggered this shift in his writing - it does seem to be a calculated attempt to be "heartwarming", but it turned me off his books for good.

He may have gotten off that trend after his numerous hair transplants lol, but after squirming through Lightning, I was not tempted to read more.


13 feature scripts, 2 short subjects. One sale, 4 options. Nothing filmed. Damn.

Currently rewriting another writer's SciFi script for an indie producer in L.A.
