I'm reading 'One Door away from Heaven' by him at the moment - I'm only a 100 pages into it and so far it seems ok - I'm hoping it's a return to form from him, but I won't hold my breath.
False memory is the one that involves haiku isn't it?
I would really recommend reading his older books, I really enjoyed them.
Edit: lightning was another really good one, if you could get past the improbable story line. |
one door away from heaven is a wee bit weird but i enjoyed it...
and from the corner of his eye.... i enjoyed that one too
will read some of his older ones..... i think he's a good write, he describes things brilliantly
