[The third book of Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553587900/ref=ox_ya_oh_product) is finally being released. I don’t know how good it will be after all this wait, but I will read it. The first one had real potential. IMO, the second one was filler and the story didn’t need it. ---

I’ll be reading it. As you say, the first one was better than the second one but I am really curious to see how it plays out. IOW: me, too. 😉 ---

'Bout damn well time. Now I have to go back and reread the first two, since it’s been so long. ---

Koontz is dead to me after giving up on completing the Christopher Snow trilogy. OK, The Taking was awesome, as was The Husband. But dead, still DEAD! ---

I didn’t read the Christopher Snow books. Actually hadn’t heard them. I like Koontz well enough, but his books are kind of redundant. However, I thought that his take on Frankenstein has a spark of freshness. Well, as I said, the first one did. I too will probably have to reread the others, if I can find them on my shelves… ---

It will be interesting to see whether and how he deals with Katrina. ---

OK, this is a little old, but I didn’t think it warranted a new thread… Anyway, the new book shipped today and I should see it on my doorstep by Wednesday.
