Canals on March 10, 2011

Canals is a good read. That's my short summary. I wouldn't have been mad if I'd paid $5 or $6 bucks for it. At $2 it's a steal. So you know my tastes, I like older Dean Koonz books (I find his newer books tedious to read), most of Stephen King, and every John Sanford novel. Canals is like some early Koonz books and some King books: a little monster, a little sci fi, some psychic stuff. Characters who might live next door to you. I'm not saying Powers writes as well as Koonz and King, just that his story line is similar to theirs. I give it 4 stars because 5 stars should be reserved for the best of the best. Too many people give every book they read 5 stars. Get it if you like scary stories or early King or Koonz books.
