"Hideaway" and "Cell" Pg 68-100 Pg 1-50

  During the part of the Hideaway we learn what is going on while Hatch Harrison is dead and while he is alive but unconcious.  You get to follow a demon as he goes on hunts for his next victims to kill.  I found this to be extremely weird and sometimes a bit disturbing.  This demon seems to have an obsession with killing people that remind him of anything to do with sex.  He does this because he knows that sex is what brings life to the world and he hates life.  He also focuses on women because they are the ones that bring life to the world.  After he kills the people he mutilates the bodies and brings them back with him and places them in front of the devil.  This book likes to switch back and forth between different views from different people.  So as you read about this you also get information about how Harrison is doing with his recovery since the doctors now have him stable.  They even take him out of the emergency part of the hospital and place him in a private room.  While he is in the room he regains consciousness for a short period of time but then quickly losses consciousness again.  After reading some of how the demon picks his victims and how well Dean Koontz discribes everything for his reader I decided to switch to a different book.
  The book I decided to begin reading was "Cell" by Stephen King.  By the second page of this book there is already some pretty exciting things going on.  You meet the main  character whose name is Clay, and the setting of this book takes place in Boston.  When you meet Clay he is just leaving a shop where he bought a gift for his wife and he gets into line to grab some ice cream.  While waiting in line he begins to hear screaming but he doesn't think a thing of it because he believes that they are just screams of happy people in the park.  As his focus goes back to the ice cream he notices the people in front of him taking on their cell phones, and then everything goes to hell.  The people who were talking on their cell phones begin to go nuts and try to kill whatever they can.  Clay is stunned and doesn't know quite what to do.  He runs into someone who isn't nuts and his name is Tom.  Clay and Tom stay together as they try to find a place to hide from all the freaks running around going nuts.  They finally take refuge in the hotel that Clay had been staying in. So far this book has been pretty good.
