Dean Koontz
Ikrik:
There are Stephen King fans? Wow......I would rather read 5-7 of Dean Koontz's books before I would even start reading one of Stephen Kings....Cujo? It? Eugh.
Vendetagainst:
I've never read any of Stephen King, but I suppose he's popular for a reason (though than again so is Paris Hilton, so that point might be moot). I looked up Cujo and I think it's kinda funny that the premise is a killer dog, Koontz is madly in love with dogs and when they're used in his novels (which is frequently) they're usually the most heroic protagonists in the book :-P
karl gambolputty...:
See, that's kind of the thing. Dean Koontz loves dogs, so there's a heroic dog in most of his books. He's a religious man, so every book of his I've read has this heavy-handed religious theme to it. You can read 5-7 of his books pretty easily, because, well, you're basically reading the same book 5-7 times.
Vendetagainst:
that's not a bad point, a lot of his books are basically CC'd, and he can get pretty preachy sometimes, but this isn't always true. When he gets creative what you get is a really awesome book, it's just a matter of knowing what to look for.

Yeah but a bunch of Stephen Kings books are like....a million pages long. I tried reading IT like.....five times and honestly it was one of the hardest things I've ever tried to read. For Dean Koontz there tends to usually be an annoying womanizing piece of sludge character who dies. That or a ridiculously frightening rapist/murderer.
