Movies very rarely live up to the novels that inspired them. Good book but I don't like the amount of killing and the religious aspect of the story.

The only thing to say about the movie was that it was the worst thing I have ever seen and it didnt even seem like the same story line. It was horrible. Burn the movie, read the book!
DK obsessed since 1996

Nowhere can a secret keep
always secret, dark and deep,
half so well as in the past,
buried deep to last, to last.

I finished Phantoms last night and I wasn't really that impressed with it. It started off great and I thought this was going to be another favorite, but sorry to say, it turned out not to be. It got a little to weird for me and I had trouble following it.

This was one of the creepier books I've read and DKs gave us just enough throughout to keep us guessing at just what the ancient enemy was without making it predictable. I know I was baffled up until the moment he chose to inform us. I also like the way it ended. Just when you thought the enemy was dead and they were in the clear they had one last scare with the two devil worshippers.
Top 10:
1.Odd Thomas 2.Life Expectancy 3.Dark Rivers of the Heart 4.From the Corner of His Eye 5.Watchers 6.The Face 7.Forever Odd 8.Night Chills 9.Intensity 10.Velocity
