Dean Koontz: Fans Raving over "Brother Odd"

Dean Koontz book "Brother Odd" is one hard book to be put down. People are saying that it is a really good book. People that have read it are recommending others to read it, especially if people have read the other two books. If you have not read the book series then you are really missing a treat. I have read both the first and second book and I have really enjoyed them, they are both mildly scary and funny at the same time!

Stephen King: Mad man or Genius?

It has been said that Stephen King had a part in the Virginia Tech murders. The man who shot the thirty-two people was a big fan of Stephen King, so they think that he had an influence on Cho Seung-Hui(the shooter). Stephen King has said many times that just by reading his books alone would not make anybody want to kill. "He may have been inspired by Columbine, but only because he was too dim to think up such a scenario on his own." Said Stephen King in a article that he wrote when he said that his stories had no part in it what so ever.
