Velocity de Koontz (VO)

Bartender Billy Wiles's life spirals out of control after he finds a note on his windshield telling him that he has a choice: involve the police, and a lovely blonde schoolteacher dies. Do nothing, and an elderly woman active in charity work dies. His options only become harder once the killer targets people whom Billy knows and plants circumstantial evidence tying him to the crimes. His greatest fear is for his comatose fiancée, and he works frantically to find the murderer before Barbara is hurt. Koontz keeps the plot moving at an accelerating pace, and there are enough twists and turns to keep the story from being predictable. Billy isn't a hero in the traditional sense, but he is a sympathetic protagonist, an average man pushed to his limits by an implacable foe. Although there is a great deal of violence and an impressive body count, the worst of it occurs off-screen. The themes aren't subtle, but they are worth considering--the importance of connection and community, the enduring power of love, and the validity of modern art. Velocity is a fast, entertaining read.

ca y est j'ai lu une centaine de pages en trois jours de Velocity in Vo ^^
allez encore 4 fois ca :)

je vais de plus en plus vite, puisque j'ai pigé le principe de saisir le global, et non l'intégral

a des moments il se fait des trips sur l'art moderne, dans ce cas en revanche j'ai un peu de mal et je prend parfois le dico, car ca peut etre interessant :) meme si pas forcément essentiel :)

l'histoire est tres prenante :), c'est génial :)
