Title:Tick Tock Author: Dean Koontz Format: Mass Market |
This is one of the most hilarious horror books I have ever read. Most have a dark sense of humor, but this one has a bright, glass-half-full, happy-go-lucky, side kick character. Our hero, Tommie Pham, has just quit his full time job to write detective novels. The book starts with him buying a brand new blue Corvette, the car he has dreamed of since immigrating to America as a boy. Now he has to face his mother, the thing all children dread. The thing I love about this book, is how many authors have the balls to total a Chevy Corvette by the THIRD chapter? I can understand by the two-thirds mark, but three chapters. As the daughter of a mechanic, my heart just broke when I read that, but at the same time I found it so funny. He hooks up with Deliverance Payne, part-time waitress, full-time millionaire. This book reads like a modern day Dick Tracy with a clown car. I fully enjoyed this book and would suggest it to anyone.
