\"\"<\/a> I just finished reading Dean Koontz’s novel, “The Husband”, and I loved it! This is the first book of Dean Koontz I ever read, and I am ashamed of myself for not discovering him sooner. As I write this, I am listening to his podcast<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.
<\/strong><\/span>
The Husband is about a garderner, Mitch, whose wife is abducted. While he was at work (gardening 4 one of his clients), he received a phone call telling him that his wife had been abducted, but he could have her back for two million dollars. Poor Mitch only had about eleven thousand dollars. Go figure.<\/p>\n

This book is a definite page turner. At a point, I was so eager 2 turn the page that I even became scared of turning it…4 fear of what might be in the next page. I was a wreck reading this book – a good wreck, I mean. I am sooo fascinated by Dean Koontz. His way with words is beyond my comprehension. But what I like best about him is his sense of humor. He’s good. He’s great.<\/p>\n

One part of the book I love is the love shared between Mitch & his wife, Holly. In one of Dean Koontz’s podcasts, he says that the love he shares with his wife, Gerda is what inspired him to write about the love between Mitch and his wife, Holly. Believe me when I say ‘this book is awesome!’ Two thumbs up.<\/p>\n

London Buki,<\/strong><\/span><\/a> I recommend you read this book. You’re gonna love it; I have no doubt. I am currently listening to his podcasts. You can check it out if it interests you. He is sooo funny, and I am laughing my head off as I type this.<\/p>\n

I am about to read another book of Dean Koontz called, “Odd Thomas”. I took this book from my Uncle’s wife in Atlanta last year July. But I have still not read it; shame unto me.<\/p>\n

Since I am totally satisfied with “The Husband”, I know I will love this too. Gosh, I need to give Dean Koontz a serious hug. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “Vera, enough already!”<\/p>\n

Alright enough.<\/p>\n

I’m off to New York tomorrow. My mother and grandma are attending the 25th year anniversary of some relative of ours (I really don’t know him; I’ve lost count of my relatives anyway. Wateva happened 2 family plannin??). Anyways, I really don’t wanna go 4 the event, but my mom needs some1 2 read the map and give her directions. Hence, my reason 4 going. I won’t go 4 the event itself, but I’ll just stay in my Uncle’s house. Thank God I’ve got a novel!<\/p>\n

I won’t be able 2 blog tomorrow because I am not going with my laptop (too much wahala abeg). So by not going with laptop, I won’t be reachable on my public<\/em> number – 443-834-7374. But if any1 does attempt 2 call, please leave a voicemail. I’ll be back on Sunday, so hopefully, I’ll be able to blog then. If not, see you Monday.<\/p>\n

London Buki<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> good luck on your Run London thing. Tell us how it goes. My love and prayers go 2 mummy.<\/p>\n

Good nite y’ll. Gotta pack 4 tomorrow. I’m any where close to being a light traveller. I may be spending just one nite but you should see what I am carrying. I feel for my husband – whenever I marry said husband, of course.<\/p>\n

OK Vera, go already!<\/p>\n

Oh, one more thing; here’s Dean Koontz’s website: www.deankoontz.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Stay Blessed everyone, and have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
