FenrisDean Koontz - Your Favorite?
The Bad Place by Dean Koontz is one of my favorite books.
If you are a Dean Koontz fan, do you have a favorite?
I'm looking for my next read.
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

RobC2It's been a while, but I remember Cold Fire and Lightning being good.

henryarnaudIt's been several years since I've read his books, but at one point I was a big fan. I've probably read at least a dozen of his novels, and even got him to sign a copy of
Intensity at a book signing.
A few I remember liking was
Hideaway, Cold Fire, and
Fear Nothing. There was another one I really liked, but I can't remember the name, and I don't think I can describe it without spoilers. I'll have to see if I can figure out which one it was.
I haven't read the book, but I enjoyed the movie
Odd Thomas on Netflix.
FWIW, I gave up on his books when I realized they all told the same basic story.

Jim Shugart was one of his first and is still my favorite. If you're a dog lover then it's a must read.

Mike SFear Nothing and Seize the Night are two of my favorites. There was supposed to be a third book in this series, but I don't think it was ever written. Or if it was, I missed it.

This is my vote as well. Just love that book - though it is a bit dated now.
That would also be my vote for worst movie adapted from a book. The protagonist goes from being a Vietnam vet - to being a kid played by Cory Haim.

rainman64Lightning was my favorite.
Odd Thomas series keeps me reading him.

mcrimmI enjoyed the first few Odd Thomas books, Watchers and Lightning. I also thought The Good Guy was a good read.

Dark Rivers Of The Heart was good but pretty messed up.
