What the Night Knows by Dean Koontz

What the Night Knows by Dean Koontz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I haven't read Koontz's books in quite a while so this was a re-introduction for me.



The book as a quick read, and quite interesting. The story moves along quickly and the details are interesting. I really liked the glimpse into the making of the antagonist (Blackwood/Ruin) as that isn't always explored in thriller type novels. I also enjoyed the spiritual aspects of the story and the unexpected details that Koontz injects throughout the novel.



All in all, I recoomend this novel for Koontz's fans and those who love thriller novels. I would caution those who have issues with sex and violence being presented together that you may want to pass this book by.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The unconditional love of God and dogs are brought together in this uplifitng little book. This is a wonderful little book for anyone who loves dogs, and would make a great gift.

I do reccommend watching the video and listening to the song as it adds a little more depth to the narrative. The video can be found on Wendy's site http://www.wendyfrancisco.com/

Thankful Thursday

Today, I am thankful that we have a week's vacation in the Smokies booked. I plan to spend as much time as I can outside destressing from the pressures of work.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning, go outside on the porch and see this. It is so restorative.

Happy 4th of July
