Getting the new year off in a distinctly underwhelming note are these two novels. No need for extensive commentary on the Koontz book; it's the same as other early Koontz novels. Written under a psydonym, full of stupid characters, and an unusually irritating plot/ending. Rummies by Peter Benchley was a book that I had higher hopes for, after having enjoyed Q Clearance, his previous novel. Unfortunately, the characters are largely stereotypes and the book lacks both the humor that it is supposed to generate and any kind of dramatic punch. It's a serious step backward for him. In other reading related news, I have agreed to participate in a book club through my work, so that should add some much needed novelty into my reading choices over the next few months.
