My favorite is Intensity.

Predator 89
My Personal favorite is By the light of the moon

speiderman
I have not read that one yet. Right now I am reading "The Bad Place".
A friend actually gave Light of Moon to me as a present. Just have to get some time in to read it.

I used to read a lot of Koontz' books when I was younger, but then I kind of got fed up with his obsessionn with macabre sexuality and twisted religion. He seems like a guy who needs his books to get all that's ever been repressed out in the open, and it's not pretty.

Ninjamaster
My best is Twilight Eyes

My worst is most definetly Mr. Murder I kinda lost intrest in Konntz there coz that book was sooooo horrible!!

speiderman
What didn't you like about Mr. murder? Did Koontz make a change from previous books?

Predator 89
The Face is my second choice.

speiderman
Tick tock is a good one.

Ninjamaster
Yes he did albeit somewhat prematurely. Instaed of the gothic and macabre style of writin' you're used to he goes all technical and wishywashy. Koontz trying to elaborate a government conspiracy was just waaaaay off for me!!
The book is a total waste and like the fine lady earlier pointed you'll get the porno repressed sexual feel in here.

If you wanna have respect for Koontz I suggest you stay away from that damn book! Because of it I aint picked a Koontz book in a while...

Predator 89
Has anybody read Odd Thomas?

speiderman
No. I haven't heard of that one.

EOWYN3
Tha Bad Place

Predator 89
Well Speiderman its acctually a new one. I finished reading it a couple of monthes ago. The books plot is about a man who can see lingering spirits and interact with them. He tries his best to avenge the deaths of those seek him out. If you want to find out more go to www.Deankoontz.com

I liked Strangers, By the Light of the Moon and From the Corner of His Eye, but I never finished reading Dark Rivers of the Heart. I haven't read Mr. Murder, but it sounds like it may be the same - a confusing government conspiracy! I got fed up and confused.

Line
laughing out loud Fine lady? Trying to figure out wether that's good or bad ...

speiderman
I think he meant well.

Line
In that case I'm flattered.

Ninjamaster
big grin And I'm flattered you're flattered coz it was a good point!
The sex thing in that damned book was highly overdone and real gross coming from the antagonists fantasies.

Line
Again: I'm flattered big grin

three of my fave koontz books are Watchers, Dark Rivers of the HEart and Dragon Tears. I'm currently reading By the light of the moon, and so far, enjoying it.

badkittykitty
has anyone here read The Face?

Predator 89
Yes i finished it a couple of months ago and i was impresed by Koontz ability to combine so many elements into a fantastic story. A little bit longer than i'm used to from his books.

YjefferY
hmmm....

my fave Dean Koontz book would have to be Lightning...i dunno...it's quite old, and it was the very first Koontz book i've read. i totally loved it, and it stuck to me...even after reading his other works.

finti
My fav Dean R Koontz book has to be Whispers

Laviera_j
I know someone who has, and she told ma all about it - said it was brilliant, and from what I heard - I agree!

Laviera_j
From the Corner of his Eye - *though I have yet to finish it!!!!!!!!!!!!* lol

jeffer_wrote
anyone hear read the Christopher Snow characters of Dean Koontz? Seize the Night's the only one I've read...

Predator 89
I've read seize the night it was really good although i hated the ending . You should read Fear Nothing too its the first of the christopher Snow books and it is one of Dean's best work.

jeffer_wrote
dang.....made a blunder there.....FEAR NOTHING was the one i read, not SEIZE THE NIGHT....yeah, i liked FEAR NOTHING, SEIZE THE NIGHT has a bad ending?

***S***
I am currently reading The Corner of his Eye. Great so far.

Darth_Decimator
my faves are the watchers, from the corner of his eye, odd thomas. tho i must say i love all his books and i havent read a bad one yet

RavenNightstar
"Phantoms" the book was great, although the movie did it absolutely no justice!

Darth_Decimator
yeah the movie sucked a** so did hideaway with jeff goldblum and alicia silverstone

Deano
reading 'twilight eyes' at the moment

its great so far!

thestarwarsman
I am a big time Koontz and King fan. I am not sure what one I liked best of Koontz. They all have had their own personality. Uh I think I need to go with Velocity followed real close by Ticktock.

Lord Shadow Z
Intensity and Dragon Tears are my two favourite Koontz books.

Also the Christopher Snow books... just too good.

speiderman
I was gripping my seat the entire time I was reading intesity because of the suspense.

Yeah, Intensity is one of the few books that have managed to scare me with its suspense and the evil, narcissistic villlain. Dragon tears is similiar in that respect.
