Well, to be fair, my favorite will always be Wizard and Glass, but they all have their strong points.

So A Clockwork Orange is kinda fucking unsettling.

At least it's not graphic. Ten-year-old girl rape do not want.

Its in the way he wrote it I think. It just seemed so hauntingly familiar, so far in the back of your mind, that you could have sworn you'd seen it in an old TV show or something. Any author who can make me have a sense of Deja Vu like that deserves my utmost respect.

I think I'll be starting Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series soon, too. I finished his first one in the eighth grade, and I remember liking it well enough, but when the manga In Odd We Trust came out, it rekindled the passion I had for the characters.

I read that a couple years ago! You should also read Dark Lord of Derkholm when you get a chance.

Isn't that sense of familiarity there though because in the first 3 books he kept referring back to those events and you had no idea what happened until he explained it in book 4. And then in book 4 he had that little flash forward where it shows you a brief glimpse of things to come.

You'd think that, but actually, no. It was his entire past that struck me as having seen it before. Cuthbert, Alain, even Sheemie, all of them seemed to come from an old western that I may have watched when I was 7 and had forgotten since.
