Re: The Watchers

Twilight Eyes was a particular favourite of mine. And Yes, i'll add my vote to Phantoms and Midnight. I'd also like to add Lightning, which was my first foray into Dean Koontz and still ramains one of my most favourite books.

Re: The Watchers

Twilght Eyes is one my favourites too. I've read it about 3 times. Watchers is another one of his that I enjoyed. Although I did think that once you've read a few of his they do seem to be quite similar and so I haven't read one of his for quite some time.

Re: The Watchers

I loved Twilight eyes, I remember Watchers and Phantoms being quite good too, apart from the Odd Thomas series not read Koontz for years

Re: The Watchers

As with King, I really liked Watchers when I was a teen but read it again and couldn't stomach the characters.
I have found his books to be formulaic and his characters one-dimensional so I was very pleasantly surprised to read Winter Moon and One Door Away from Heaven. The characters were well fleshed out and he didn't have as much character chaff - there to serve plot points only. And his writing was more lyrical, than formulaic, more show than tell.
I usually read Kootz to remind me what not to do as a writer.

Re: The Watchers

I've pretty much enjoyed every book of Koontz that I've read, they have always been fun reads for me, though I wouldn't put him at the top of my must read list.
