Dean Koontz

(1/6) > >>

Vendetagainst:
I was just wondering what other people thought of him. My uncle got me into him a few years back with Velocity and I've since read maybe ten to twelve of his books. I know there are a lot of mixed feelings about him, or at least that's what I hear so it follows that such is true, but personally I think he's a really awesome writer and I highly reccomend him. The biggest problem with Koontz is that some of his books are fairly generic or flat, which is because he's written a shitload of books and some of them just aren't going to be that good. When he's good he's ridiculously good though; some books I recommend:
Velocity, The Mask, By the Light of the Moon (Shep's awesome), The Watchers, Cold Fire, and most definitely the Odd Thomas series. Other good books by him are Dragon Tears, Darkfall, and The Husband but I don't think these are of the same caliber. The only book I have not enjoyed of his was Icebound.

The Watchers was pretty good, but everything else of his I've tried has left me pretty cold.

Vendetagainst:
you might be having some bad luck with what you pick up too. What've you read?

Surgoshan:
Of his stuff, I've only read From the Corner of His Eye.  It wasn't very good and definitely failed to inspire me to seek out more of his work.

Ikrik:
Tick Tock
Whispers
False Memory
From the Corner of his Eye
Phantoms

I didn't like any of them.  I think he's a great writer and he definitely knows how to set a mood but after I've never really enjoyed any of them.  A couple of my friends convinced me to reading some of his stuff hence the reason I've read a couple...but honestly I'm not a huge fan of his stuff.
