Send In The Clowns

Dean Koontz writes his entertaining thrillers faster than I can read them! If I were to read all of his books I wouldn't get round to reading anything else. So to avoid being overkoontzed I only tend to pick one up every couple of years.

Life Expectancy tells the tale of an ordinary man. Just as Jimmy Tock is about to be born, his dying grandfather prophesises five dark days in his grandson's life. Five dates in which Jimmy will face 'terror, violence, malice and perversion'. How will Jimmy and his family deal with the terrifying events that await him?

This is a nice easy read and ideal to take away on holiday. It's always engaging and at times very exciting. There's also a high level of humour to offset the racked up tension.
How do I rate it amongst all of his other books? Well I'd have to say I like Life Expectancy better than Fear Nothing, Ticktock, Shadowfires and Lightning, but would place it behind Phantoms, Dark Rivers Of The Heart and Intensity.
