Must Reads If You Love 'The City' by Dean Koontz
Listly by Esther Lombardi
The City, by Dean Koontz, is a seething tale of terrorism and all the realities of our modern age. We are drawn into the story of Jonah, who grows up amid the chaos and devastation of a society (and family) in various states of chaos. Despite all the loss, Koontz leaves us with a sense of abiding hope--faith in the possibility that words, music and even art will offer meaning... a way to survive no matter what may come.
