Default Dean Koontz owns!!!

Ive read two going on my 3rd DK book. They are awsome!!!

ODD THOMAS was one of the best books ive ever read and had a tremendous ending, im tough as nails and had a tear or two!! also read THE FACE which was great. Im reading DRAGON TEARS at the moment.

I never thought i would dig supernatural type stuff but hes a great writer.

Yeah I'm reading Odd Thomas right now, on chapter twenty, so far it's a pretty interesting book.

His writing style is a bit annoying at times, but he's good with plot.

I also read The Taking by him, it was decent but not something I'd recommend.

Dean Koontz is a great writer, but it's kind of be hit-and-miss, especially with his older work. Intensity, Tick Tock, Sole Survivor, and Lightning (it involves time-traveling Nazis, what else do you need to know?) are some of the best books he's written.

Usually when I read I only read to learn things, usually I prefer business literature, but Koontz is BY FAR my favorite author of fiction. His book "The Taking" is the best book I have ever read. I recommend it to everyone...seriously.

My brother is a fan of his. Personally I've only read one of his books when I was real young. I think it's his only childrens book. It's called Santa's Twin, where santa's twin Bob highjacks christmas. Check it out.

Default Brother Odd

New here, love reading! Read one to two novels a week! Mostly thrillers....anyway about Brother Odd by DK. Same character Odd Thomas, he goes and stays at a monastery and like Odd Thomas weird stuff happens....good book. Right now I'm reading Kathy Reichs' Bones To Ashes, her books inspired the TV show Bones....good, but I like Patricia Cornwall better. I have DK's The Darkest Evening of the Year but haven't started it yet. Stephen King, John Grisham, David Baldacci...just to name a few.

Man, Dean Koontz was one of my FAVORITE authors when I was younger. I have read tons of his books, yet I can't recall any right now.

I love dean koontz, he's by far my favorite author! In fact, I haven't read any other book besides his in 3 or so years. My favorite one being "voice of the night"

I read Odd Thomas on the beach while I was on spring break. Finished it in one day and immediately went back for the only other Koontz book I could find at the grocery store (which was Brother Thomas).

I also like his books Tick Tock and The Door To Midnight.

I'm a reluctant but dedicated fan of Koontz, mostly because I feel like he's Stephen King Lite - all the fun and great characterization of a Stephen King novel with half the length and complexity. I don't think he's as talented, but when I'm in the mood for an immersive speed read which won't seriously disturb me or make my brain bleed, he's my first bet.
