Dean Koontz

[John]

I've read the companion, but I don't own it.

I have a couple of books written by "R. K. Dwyer" (one of his pen-names), but the rest are reprints under his real name.

My wife is finishing up "Out of the Corner of His Eye" right now. I think I'll recommend Odd Thomas to her next - that was a good book.

I love Dean Koontz. I just finished Odd Thomas, and I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one sobbing.

[John]

Glad you enjoyed it. My wife's reading it now, Ozjod.

Oooh, The Bad Place is one of his best.

My absolute favorite Koontz book is Twilight Eyes (actually my all-time favorite book, tied with The Stand), but you can't find it around much any more. It was the first Koontz book I made my wife read, and she actually cried while reading it.

I just ordered Twilight Eyes. Can't wait to read it.

When you finish Twilight Eyes, tell us what you thought. I'm curious cause its one of my favorites.

[John]

It's by far my favorite Koontz book, as I've mentioned. Do tell what you thought of it.

At one point during the book, my wife actually cried. She's NEVER cried reading a book before.

CableJockey, I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it but, could you briefly PM me what Twilight Eyes is about? Just a tiny taste please.

[John]

I'm not cablejockey, but it's about a young man who is running from the law and finds himself joining the carnival, and his "twilight eyes".

[Jewelsy]

I'm on about page 375 of "The Face", and I'm still not digging it. Should I keep on going (there's like 630 pages)? I think part of the reason I'm not getting into it is because the narrator just isn't any good (which makes a HUGE difference when listening to books). What do y'all think? I have a bunch of other good books I want to start on...

Haejin, is One Door Away From Heaven worth reading?

Eldee, for what it's worth, I thought it was great and I had not been a fan
of his later stuff. The sister become business really got to me as we are always overun with dogs (and cats). 0rson the smart dog and Mungojerrie
the bloodhound/cat are terrific in Seize The Nightanother recent fave.
