Dean Koontz

Oh, how I sometimes miss a good troll here. I used to have so much fun with them.

Thing is, I finally realized that it made for a lot more work for Marsha in those days, and so I decided it was wrong of me to selfishly carry on with the two or three true trolls we had for a while. I (try to) adhere to the DFTT rule nowadays.

Oh, honey, that book has already been written.....

Ok, I have read most of Koontz' books. I refuse to read anymore of his newer books that feature a supernaturally gifted Golden Retriever- ever. I am so-o freaking tired of that silly sub-plot in his books. Yes, I realize that he had a special Golden Retriever as a pet and that it passed away a few years ago (more like ten years!) but get over it, Dean! I love his older novels- Watchers (yes, I know, it features a supernaturally gifted Golden Retriever, but it was new and fresh back then!), Whispers, Night Chills, Phantoms, Twilight Eyes (most excellant!), The Vision, Intensity (yes, Danie, love this one too but there is a major plot hole in it), Hideaway, Lightning. I really like his books he wrote under K.R.Dwyer and Brian Coffey. I whole-heartedly suggest you read The Voice Of The Night. He wrote about a crazy teen boy way before it became popular to do so. Love the Odd Thomas series (although the last one features -well, you know what!), the Frankenstein series and the unfinished Christopher Snow series.

Alright, tell me the plot hole in Intensity, krf. It's been a while, so I may not remember. Wrap it in a spoiler, or you can conversation me!

There are some very fun Koontz books. There are also some stinkers...same with anyone who churns out so much stuff, and King ain't no exception. Folks that get turned off by one of the mediocre Koontz books should try another. I like The Darkest Night of the Year and From the Corner of His Eye. The Odd Thomas series has ups and downs.

I lurk here, so you can tell where my allegiance lies.

...yeah Bryan, but you spoke well about both of their bodies of work in a succinct way...that sums it up....

 

[not_nadine]

Both. Which reminds me I need a haircut.

Need a pic, Frank.

King v. Koontz was on Family Guy I think.

 

[GNTLGNT]

Dude, if there weren't so many other books calling me, I would. The last one I read, Velocity, was my last attempt. I promised myself I would not waste my time on him again.

...and yet, I still love you....

Koontz's Phantoms has one of the spookiest beginnings of any book I've ever read.

Hey! I didn't even mention bourganvillae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When she meets the woman while driving thru the massive forest but decides not to tell her what is going on- giving up the chance that the 'authorities' could get involved. It just didn't ring true to me at all.
