This was the third novel that I read by Dean Koontz (back in 1992). It may not be the most well written.but it will always hold a special place in my heart- and I will probably read it at least 5 or 6 more times in my lifetime. LIGHTNING will forever be one of my favorite books- It may not be that original (the similarities to The Terminator are hard to look past). who coincidentally is also one of my TV boyfriend's "Denny" for those who watch Grey's Anatomy.Įventually she falls in love and settles into a normal life with Danny.forgetting about Stefan.until tragedy strikes again. Pretend book boyfriend #2 (in my youth, I pictured him as this) Whether he is real or not, she is not quite sure of- but when she gets older, she meets a man she knows IS real -Danny.

Year after year Laura escapes death.and most tragedies in her life with the help of her guardian- Stefan. and what follows each lightning strike throughout Laura's life is a gorgeous strange man (Stefan)- who pops up in times of trouble to rescue her. Which in most cases wouldn't be all that unusual.but Laura was born in January. Lightning strikes on the night Laura Shane is born. Where oh where is my Elliot Garfield? Bastard!!! The worst of them all is this one- who at a young age I thought I would meet the equivalent of some day. Allllllllllll which have ruined me over the years for real life men. I have book boyfriends, movie boyfriends, and TV boyfriends. What is a book boyfriend you may ask?.Or may not ask- but I will tell you anyways.A book boyfriend is a character I fell in love with at some point in my life. Why? It has two of my book boyfriends in it. It is a book I read over and over again when I find myself in a reading slump.for a couple of reasons- 1) I have read it so many times- I don't have to concentrate very much to get through it again.and, 2) It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
