My brother brought home all four books to the Twilight Saga.I told myself I wasn't going to read them cause they would not be for me.I was curious though so I began reading the 1st one about a week ago.Now I am on the last.Why do I feel guilty for liking them so much?

Absolutely loved Primal Fear. The end just gave me chills. I know I've read Show of Evil, but I can't remember anything about it. It was years ago I read it.
Yeah Primal Fear is a great book,probably Diehls best.Show Of Evil is also really good.Its set ten years after Primal Fear and Aaron Stampler is released from a mental institution and he goes on a killing spree.I'm curently reading the third book in the series which is Reign In Hell.

Wuthering Heights is without doubt the best classic I have ever read,I love the setting of the story and the isolation the characters go through.I think it works so well because all the characters are there for a reason and each is so different.This book will definatly live long in the memory.

Want to no what other people think about William Diehl's novels.Personally I think the Martin Vail series is great (Primal Fear,Show Of Evil,Reign In Hell).I've never seen or heard alot of recognition for his work,let me no if you have read any of his novels and what you thought about them.

I have never read any of his books but I am going to buy the first book to the Jack Reacher series soon.I have heard they are really good so I look forward to reading them.

The first Dean Koontz book I read was The Bad Place,I thought it was fantastic and quite different to other horror books I had read previously.Then I read Relentless,although I found it readable and good in parts it didn't live upto my expectation.There are still lots more of his books that I want to read.The next one will be Phantoms.I think that he probably has quite afew great books that I am yet to read.

I would also recommend Stephen King,Dean Koontz and John Connally.Also another good one is Jack Ketchum,in my opinion his best book would be The Girl Next Door.

I had this book for a long time before I began to read it, mainly because it didn't apeal to me because its so different to what I usually read.I don't regret reading it but it wasn't really for me.Although I do appreciate the way in which it is written and the stories which are told.The short story which stands out for me is the one were the old man loses his daughter to the beast at cards, which one is this again?
-
Thanks for your suggestions. I have read quite afew Stephen King books, but none which you have recommended.I will look out for them in future. Can you suggest any other authors apart from King?

Stephen king is without doubt one of my favourite authors. I think most of his novels have a magical quality to them, which most authors can only dream of carrying out.I think my Favourie King book would have to be Green Mile, I also really like the film. The Shining and IT follow closely behind.The next King book I am going to read will be Bag Of Bones as I have heard good things about it. I also really want to read The Stand.Its really difficult to get your head round how many great novels Stephen King has written.

I have only ever read one book by Dean Koontz,which was The Bad Place. I found it to be really good,better than I expected. I am planning on reading Phantoms next.

I'm looking for a good horror novel, but without the supernatural aspect. The best I have come across so far is Jack Ketchum, so ideally I would like something similar. Any suggestions?
John Connolly

I have read all the charlie parker series. Easily the best series of its kind out there. Is there another author similar to John Connolly? Let me no if there is.
