One of the most fascinating things about that book was that it was written by a man. He really portrayed women accurately.

Currently reading Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book One: The Prodigal Son. Dean doesn't write literature, and some of his earlier books were quite formulatic, but I don't care... This is reading for entertainment, and so far this book is doing the job. It's a great fast moving story about a serial killer... (the name Frankenstein isn't by accident -- the tagline is you only kmow half the story.)

It was apparently going to be a miniseries on USA Network, and Koontz didn't like where USA was taking it, so he bailed on the project and wrote the books instead.
