THANK YOU JOHN !!!! YOU ARE MOST WELCOME & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
You sure are kicking the year off right by joining such an awesome group - great things are sure to follow :-)

I'm Hugh, I may know some of you... if I do.. (Lets just keep it between us ({P-{D>)

I'm a long time Koontz fan. Favorite is Twilight Eyes (I know that's not always on everone's radar, he's written so many wonderful books.)

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Welcome Hugh! We featured Twilight Eyes a few months ago as a group read, but I didn't finish it - still plan to in the near future though :-) Thanks for joining us Koontzland!

[The Pirate Ghost]

Your welcome Dustin, glad to be here.

Ok, thanks.

:-) Thanks for joining us Koontzlanders Lez! We are going to have so much fun. Here you will learn how to teleport, see Dead people, visit alternate realities and will acquire fantastic superpowers. Entering Koontzland will surely be one of the best choices you have ever made. There are no coincidences and it all begins on This Momentous Day.

I just started reading the Frankenstein series and I'm currently reading Dead and Alive. Here's my review http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...
Also did one for Prodigal Son but its pretty much the same.

I got this set for my daughter for Christmas as she is a big DK fan. I've read a few but wasn't that impressed for reasons stated in my reviews but I'm sticking with Deucalion and Friends and enjoying the hell out of it.

I notice the reviews really run to the extremes for this series.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Welcome to Koontzland Ken :-) Glad you are enjoying the Frankenstein series.

I finished reading the Frankenstein series not too long ago, a great series, loved it from start to finish, it also has in my opinion one of the best characters Koontz has ever created in the lovable little Jocko.

That's my opinion too. I even wrote a comment on Ken's review last night about how much I love Jocko :-) Ken is a Randall Six fan himself.

[K.]

Jocko is a fun character, but at times a bit too silly.

[Jaice]

Agreed.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I don't agree. Jocko is a perfectly created character and perfectly silly. I LOVE JOCKO!!!!!

100% ^^this^^

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Lez, you are a very smart person.

[Caitlyn]

hello! My name is Caitlyn. I live in west Michigan.I started reading Koontz because my mom gave me some books she had. Since then, I like almost every book I read of his!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Welcome Cate! Haven't seen you in Koontzland since Cold Fire! I see you are currently reading Lightning :-)

[Nora aka Diva]

Welcome Cate
:)

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Thanks for joining this totally awesome group. You are now a Koontzlander. Have you read any of Dean's more recent books or did you give up after Odd Thomas? In March we are reading Mr. Murder, Relentless and From The Corner of His Eye. Hope you'll consider joining us in reading one, two or all of these titles :-) If you read all three you might win a Free Golden Retriever. join the challenge by visiting our group homepage - you'll find the challenge just below our currently reading featured books and just above the discussion board. Everyone is invited to join Koontz March Madness!

[Nora aka Diva]

Welcome Kyle
:)

[Nora aka Diva]

uhm, the possibly win a free golden retriever thing is a joke, yes?

Sorry, I don't always catch peoples humor so I just had to ask.

And I like to be sarcastic in a way that keeps people guessing :-) Originally, I just wrote it to be funny just like I wrote you get honorary superpowers, but then I remembered I had bought some copies of "A Big Little Life" when Borders was going out of business. I was saving them for a special Koontzland occasion and I've decided this is it. So, for anyone who doesn't have the book already and reads all three March Madness books - this is a chance to win a free copy of "A Big Little Life" and this will be your Free Golden Retriever. I only have 6 copies to give away and they will be offered to the first 6 people to complete the challenge.

[Nora aka Diva]

Oh ok, that makes more sense. :)
I hope I win a copy. If I start reading them early is that considered cheating?

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Game is on now. I added an extra month to the challenge it runs 2/15 -4/15 added half a month to either side of March to complete the challenge :-) Alex, Al, Crazy Al is already on her second book.

[Nora aka Diva]

Ah, I see.
Well it is an easy challenge for me, the hard part is remembering where I have the books. lol

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Library is always an option :-) I think I will start with Relentless because that is my favorite and shortest of the three.

[Nora aka Diva]

Well as tempting as that might be to some, I have the books somewhere in this house already. lol, course somewhere means 5 different locations to check.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I own all three in printed form also. I also own the audiobook of Relentless :-) I'm getting the audiobook for Mr.M & FTCOHE from the library

[Sam]

Hi koontz-mates. I'm Sam from Philippines. I've been a fan of Koontz since college (though I've had a little rest from Koontz-ing when I got work) but I still adore his works! Can't wait to get my hands on another Koontz!

[Nora aka Diva]

Welcome Sam

I understand. Well, you have until April 15th :-)

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Welcome to Koontzland Sam! We're reading Mr. Murder, Relentless & From the Corner of His Eye during March as group reads. You are welcome to join us for any or all of them if you're interested. Usually we only read one title a month, but we're having Koontz March Madness!!!!

Are you saying you don't like Stephen King so much? Is that a compliment to Dean Koontz that you made the time to read 3 Koontz books in a row, but rate reading a Stephen King book slightly higher on your enjoyment scale than research for Psychology papers?

[Maryann]

Hi guys am Maryann from Kenya. Been a koontz fan for a while. Already read and own 2 of the March Madness books Relentless and From the corner of his eye and trying to get hold of Mr Murder. i loved From the corner of his eye.
