In Dean Koontz's latest book "Forever Odd", he again skewers leftists in a most hilarious way. This one requires a little more setup than his previous one-liners.
Dean first describes the change of the local high school's mascots from the Braves to the Gila Monsters, because Braves "was deemed an insult to local Indian tribes, though none of the Indians ever complained."
Later he described a brutal murderer being convicted for only manslaughter because "he expressed remorse. And self-loathing. He wept. He offered no defense except emotional immaturity. More than once, sitting at the defendant's table, he prayed."
Then he tied the two situations together with this great line:
"If that particular jury could be reconstituted and polled, no doubt it would unanimously support the change from Braves to Gila Monsters."
He's one of my favorite authors.
Is this another Odd Thomas book? What I would really like to see is another Watchers.
No one can be so funny or at the same time sad as a liberal.
They are so full of themselves,selfish and just plane dumb that it makes you wonder how any of them can survive in the everyday world.
Yes. Picks up where Odd Thomas ends.
Cool.
I can't wait to get it. I just finished reading another book last night and I'm all set for this one.
