    Thanks, it's an easy read.

    I try to alternate between something rather cerebral and a lil brain candy.

    "Intensity" by Dean Koontz. I started it about 20 years ago and got bored, so I didn't finish it. My Dad has been hassling me about that ever since because he thinks it's the greatest book ever, so I finally picked it back up this week and started over.

    It's not boring me this time, but it's not the greatest book ever, either.

    I can't believe you thought this was boring! This book had me in a sweat the entire time. If this is boring, then I would really love your recommendations for thrillers. Please?

    LOL! I can't explain why younger me was bored - I think it was more to do with the writing style than the story. The story is definitely an edge-of-your-set kind of thing, but the characters just don't do anything for me. If I think your main character is contrived and stupid, I don't really care if a psycho killer guts her, y'know?

    I have heard the movie was good, though. It's rare for the movie to be better than the book, but once in a while, an actor gives a character a little something that the author just couldn't. I'll probably watch this one after I finish he book.
