Dean Koontz?

[Manna]

I went back 10 pages of posts looking for a general Dean Koontz thread and couldn't find it! So if I'm repeating something, forgive me! =)

I'm interested in starting to read Koontz's works, but I'm not sure where to start! I own False Memory (I think that's the title) and The Taking, so I'll start with those, I guess. But I just wanted to see if there was a title that was the obvious one to start with!

So if anyone has any suggestions, please pass them along!

I own about 30 of his books, but I stopped reading him a couple of years ago; The Face was the last one. Like Stephen King, Koont's work has shriveled over time. If you are a new Koontz reader, I'd suggest diving into some of his old. paperbacks. Try: The Bad Place, Mr. Murder, Phantoms, Watchers and Lightning. You'll notice a complete difference. The Bad Place is such a well written book, Mr. Murder is a swift thriller, Phantoms is one of the scariest books I've read, Watchers is a classic and Lightning is completely inventive. Enjoy!

Thanks! I bought a few today at a used bookstore, but I can't remember the titles. lol...thanks for the tips! I'll write down those titles for the next time I go!

The Taking is a pretty good book with a rather interesting twist in the ending and I can’t remember False Memory, but I know I read it years ago and liked it. The books I recommend are Lightening, Watchers and Dragon Tears. Hope you enjoy whichever book you choose!
