Has anyone read Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz? I'm about half way through, so far it's really exciting, funny and tragic at the same time!

What's it about?

Um.. well it's hard to explain. This is what it says on the book:

When the hand of fate reaches out to touch an ordinary man...

In the moments before he is born, Jimmy Tock has a strange destiny thrust upon him. His dying grandfather prophesies five dark days in his grandson's life- five dates on which Jimmy will face terror and violence, malice and perversion. A storm rages. There is a chilling significance in the old man's words. The moment his grandfather dies, Jimmy emerges squalling into the world, destined to struggle against an evil so dark and pervasive only the most extraordinary of human spirits can shine through.

What dangers await Jimmy on these five dark days? What terrifying events must he survive? At each of the crisis points a mystery unfolds that will challenge his understanding of good and evil, life and death- and everything in between.



It's a good book for people who like to think. I like it because it's funny as well, but still exciting. Oh yeah- it has lots of angry clowns

(Been 24hrs so I can double post. Well, I can double post anway- just so I don't get complaints though lol )

Also- I found something strange- in this book there is a policeman called officer Paolini!

I've read this book four times since I bought it.....Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. most of his books are funny, tragic and exciting lol....If you like this one....try reading Odd Thomas, and then Forever Odd....also by Koontz, that is if you haven't already....

I haven't- I saw them advertised in life expectancy, but can't find them lol I'll keep looking...

I just read forever odd- I guess Odd Thomas is the first book, but it still makes sense. That book is so cool- It's funny the way he just starts talking about random stuff like old movies and iguanas.

ok, found something else linked to Inheritance, in The Taking. The main character's last names are "Sloan" hehehehehehe. and it's been ages, so don't give me the whole triple posting thing...

That is so funny. I'll have to find those books.
