Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Sort of a dumb action book. Nevertheless, the metaphysical exploration of time-travel is profound. I suggest it's entire analysis be adopted by the larger community. Since I don't like time-travel Science Fiction or action books, I rated it 5/10: Someone that has more interest in these genres should enjoy it. ( ) I never cared about Koontz when I was younger, probably thinking he was all horror, and I have never cared for horror. My husband (maybe my boyfriend at the time, I don't recall...it was around 20 years ago) recommended this book, and I remember being pleasantly surprised. I've never read another Koontz since, but that just left this to keep a special place in my heart. I don't know why it took me so long to read it again, but I'm so glad I did! The suspense is really high at certain points in the book. Laura's guardian, Stefan, is a sympathetic hero, especially when you learn more about him and where he comes from. And though Laura herself isn't my favorite main character, I can appreciate the way that the various difficulties in her life shape her into the person she becomes as an adult. Time travel isn't exactly original, but not everyone does as good a job as Koontz did here. The things that could and could not be affected, the way there are natural limitations to avoid paradoxes, it all makes sense. And what is done by characters to try to get around that can be a little mind-twisty, but it makes for a great read! I know there were a few points when I wondered if it was really necessary to see so much of Laura's life that don't really relate to the grander story. I think it was mostly there to build up our connection with Laura. Whatever the reason, it never made me bored. As a stand-alone sci-fi thriller, Lightning is definitely worth reading! I know I'll re-read it again in the future. Una tormenta golpea la noche que Laura Shane nace en 1955, y hay una extrañeza sobre el clima que la gente recordará por años. A medida que los deslumbrantes rayos azules y blancos de los relámpagos rompen los cielos, un extraño se materializa en la rabiosa tormenta de nieve para proteger a Laura de las terribles no tan tiernas misericordias de un médico borracho y asegurar su paso seguro al mundo antes de desaparecer de nuevo en la noche . Ocho años más tarde, Laura vuelve a encontrarse con su misterioso salvador, cuando él la salva de las intenciones pervertidas y mortales de un ladrón enloquecido por drogas. A lo largo de su niñez, problemas aún más aterradores afrontan a la joven, pero con cada vez más valor, ella encuentra la fuerza para prevalecer -incluso sin la intervención del extraño. Con el tiempo se casa y tiene un hijo, mientras que también encuentra el éxito como novelista. Poco a poco el recuerdo de su extraño guardián y los problemas de su juventud oscurecen a la luz de su felicidad. Hasta que el rayo golpea una vez más y rompe su mundo. Esta vez el extraño se ha convertido en el ángel de la muerte. Mientras Laura huye con su joven hijo, Chris, ella sabe que debe prepararse para la confrontación final que vendrá con las poderosas fuerzas que la acechan. La aventura -y el terror- acaba de comenzar. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
