General Comment:As mentioned earlier on my April 19 2007 post, I have embarked on writing a few words on all the books that I may read in my retirement. I will reread few books which I read over last few years – this to allow me to capture some good essence from the readings.

The recent book I have completed reading is a book by Dean R. Koontz  titled Cold Fire. This book is paperback (some 421 pages long). Dean Koontz   has written many books with paranormal mental gifts as the main element in his stories. Cold Fire is the book about a person (Jim Ironheart) who had been gifted in paranormal /psychic abilities – he seems to have inherited this ability from his father (& grandmother).    He lost his parents (from a random shootout at a restuarant) at the age of 10 years and within a year  lost his Grandmother – by an accidental fall – brought on by a paranormal happening in the family windmill (abondoned).  The windmill is the  central  area around which  the story  is weaved.

I enjoyed the book as to the description of light, shadows, colors and general atsmospheric happenings at various times . It provides shocking suspense & reveting terror.

This is another book I discovered on an obscure shelf in my office room. These are my son”™s books who became avid reader of books when in middle and high schools. So now I am joyful to discover these and enjoying reading them.
