Thanks obligations, tomatolady and Virgulina! :)


"The first time the lightning strikes, Laura Shane is born...The second time it strikes, the terror starts...though eight-year-old Laura is saved by a mysterious stranger from the perverted and deadly intentions of a drug-crazed robber. Throughout her childhood, she is plagued by ever more terrifying troubles, and with increasing courage she finds the strength to prevail - even without the intervention of her strange guardian. But, despite her success as a novelist, and her happy family life, Laura cannot shake the certainty that powerful and malignant forces are controlling her destiny. Then, the lightning strikes once more and shatters her world. The adventure - and the terror - have only just begun..."

I've read this book more than 10 years ago, it was one the 1st I read from Koontz and I had in my memory that it was a favourite. Now, having read it again, I still like it a lot, but I find the 2nd part of the book a little slow and boring. The 1st half, when you go through Laura's life, it's very fast paced and interesting, but when she starts running from the "bad guys" it all slows down too much. Then the ending is quick again, with some far fetched things but interesting.
It was really nice to re-read it, though, so much time later.
