The House of Thunder by Dean Koontz
3.5 ★
She woke up in a hospital room, barely able to remember her own name. What secrets are hidden within Susan Thorton’s mind? What terrible accident brought her here? And who are the four shadowy strangers—waiting, like death—in the darkened corridors? One by one, Susan unlocks these mysteries. And step by step, she approaches the torment of her past—a single night of violence, waged by four young men.I have never been disappointed with A Dean Koontz novel...until this one. In all fairness to the author, it wasn't all his fault. I listened to the audio book and the reader was horrible and that's putting it graciously. Somehow the story just didn't seem to be in the usual "Koontz" style. It started out okay but then developed into an unbelievable middle and didn't seem to really have an end. A really bad first book for a new Dean Koontz reader. Long time readers will be a bit more forgiving because we know how really good this author can be.
