My Favorite Book

My favorite book is VELOCITY by Dean Koontz. I choose this because it is a fast paced thriller, which keeps the reader engaged. Koontz draws the reader into his tale with descriptive imagery,and symbolism, with a twist of moral dilemma. Once the story begins, you do not want to put the book down; the only good stopping place is the end. Koontz also starts his novels with famous quotes and uses extensive vocabulary - he does not "dumb" down but rather brings the reader up to his level. I read the book over winter break, much to my family's' chagrin, they had to fend for themselves until I finished.
