Dean Koontz, Your Thoughts
« on: January 26, 2019, 10:18:18 am »
Well, I have been scared more than a few times reading his books along with S King he has a place somewhere on everyone's mantle with at least one title. Will get back to write my thoughts on his latest series the Jane Hawk books which I think are a must read.Just finished the last to review and think it will be out Feb/March or so so start in on the other ones!

Dean has a way about him. I love all his older stuff. The newest I read from him was the Frankenstein series...Yes...it's been awhile!

he traumatized me so bad with the one villan whose mother had taken so many psychedelic/psychotropic drugs when she had him he had weird powers and victimized homeless people I couldn't read him for a while, lol but was glad when I came back and devoured more of his books. I personally loved the Odd Tomas books and the Jane Hawk ones are excellent. Even if between him and King reinforcing my dislike of clowns, lol

Avid (rabid) reader. Like Dean Koontz's work over all. Have not read any newer ones, sadly been way to busy with life. Maybe I will take a few days off and read. . . some day.

I love Dean Koontz. His book of short stories "Strange Highways" had a story in there called "Kittens". I read it years and years ago... still think about it on occasion. Really stuck with me.

I read everything by Koontz, King, and others for years but found myself not wanting to hide in fiction after recovering from many years of depression. Now I don't read much due to cataracts. My attention span is shorter now, too, as I'm thinking of things I should be doing instead.

I'm ashamed to say I  don't think I've ever read anything by him. I am a voracious reader. Not one day goes by that I don't find the time to read. I'm not even sure I have a favorite author. I read so many different kinds of books. Except romance. I've never been much into that. If it's part of the larger story, then that's fine.


The last series I read was V Wars by Johnathon Mayberry. Weird books. Some are actual books, some in the series are graphic novels. ~Shrugs~ like I said, eclectic tastes. I guess I should look into some of Deans books, everyone raves about them.

Eclectic tastes? Were you the kid reading the back of the cereal box at the breakfast table too, Knox?

If you want to see what Koontz is capable of, read the Chris Snow novels, Fear Nothing, Seize the Night, and (if and when it comes out) Ride the Storm. Watchers, Hideaway, and Midnight will also richly repay the reader's efforts. The rest of his opus, in my opinion, is a little catch-as-catch-can. Twilight Eyes was written by Koontz, and is the one novel I have been unable to finish.
