I haven't read it in a while but it is very excellent and one his longer novels :-) I did love the message of the book so much that i got a tattoo of the words "This Momentous Day".

[Aaron]

Yes, this is one of my favorite Koontz books. Junior is a very memorable character.

Hello everyone :)

I was invited to the group from Dustin over a year ago (sorry!) from an unfavorable if not amazing review of Relentless left by Maciek.

I'd have to say that The Husband is one of my favorites, that and a toss between Relentless. I always say that if anyone else wrote the way Dean Koontz did they wouldn't get away with it, but despite that, or maybe because of that I still love him.

Thanks for telling me about the group :)

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

Welcome to Koontzland Joraya! I love Relentless :-)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi, welcome.

Relentless is my favorite. I have to read it once a year.

I did read one or two Pendergast novels and was impressed. I might try the series again sometime :-)

Hi Dustin, thanks for liking my page and participating in the questions. I'm in Fort Collins. Boulder is not too far away.

[Michael]

Hey everyone. My name is Mike and I have been a fan of Koontz since I first read Watchers in 7th grade. I have been obsessed with his supernatural thrillers but want to start reading his suspense thrillers. I am torn between The Key to Midnight and Dark Rivers of the Heart. Which one should I read first? Which one do you think is better?

Pleasant Reading.

Mike

[Barbara]

Ayden....I loved Strangers!!!
Mike.....Dark Rivers of the Heart is scarier!!!!
Lol

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

Welcome to Koontzland Mike!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Yo!

[Sharon]

Hi. I'm Shay from California. I have been a Koontz fan for more years the I want to admit. Just let me say my 20 so etching daughters grew up watching me clutching Koontz books in my hands.

If I had to pick a favorite, I would say Life Expectency, but then I could also go with Strangers. Regardless, I love the Koontz characters. I love the interaction between characters. He puts people in such crazy situations and you truly see the humanity an the lack there of.

Anyway, I look forward to sharing in this forum.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Welcome.

[Diane Lynch]

Hello Mike and Shay. For as many books I've read, as I read these posts, their r as many books I can not wait to read. This is one of the one of my favorite features of this goup. Hearing about books I haven't read as well as books I've read from people that have the same reading preferences as myself. Love scary so Dark Rivers of the Heart is very appealing. Of course this will be after Swan Song and The Watchers. I'm in this book club along with my personal book club made up of all these other books. Welcome to the club and I want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge and insight which I benefit from.

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

Greetings Koontzlanders old and new :-) Thank You for sharing all things Koontz! The City (Dean's newest novel) will be released on July 1st. New Release time is always an exciting time. The City will be our July Group Read. Happy Summer Reading Adventures to all!

[Barbara]

Can't wait to get The City and start reading.....S King has a new book out soon too.....so many books.....so little time!!!! :)

[Courtney]

Hello all. Im getting into dean koontz books and ive found i enjoy quite a few of them. I just finished false memory, crazy book. Btw, Does anyone know where they found valet, the dog? For some reason i guess it passed me up because i just jumped from him being dissapeared to him being at the party at the end! Anyways, im in need of a new book to read! Any suggestions?

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

I recommend Cold Fire

[Courtney]

Cold fire.. Thanks! Ill look into that, dont think ive even read a description on that one!

[Barbara]

Courtney.....there are so many Koontz books to choose from you really can't pick a bad one....start with Watchers and Phantoms and work your way forward from them!!!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Well....you can find a bad one, but that will depend on taste. Look through the synopses and then maybe some reviews. Find someone whose taste you "mostly" agree with and go with a book they like.

[Barbara]

You are right Mike....some of his early books are just so-so.....I can't think of any that are really "bad" though. I really didn't like False Memory....it was just depressing....but I know people who liked it so...yes....tastes are different

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Yeah. He has some books I list among my favorites but others that I truly dislike. I think one of the reasons I get so upset at some is because some are so good. An example of one I truly dislike is Your Heart Belongs to Me. I'm a fan of what some have called "the new Koontz" (referring to some of his latest books)...but not all. LOL.

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

Cold Fire seems to be overlooked by many. One of my favorites :-)

[Barbara]

Mike....I wasn't crazy about Your Heart Belongs to Me either.....I will always read whatever he writes....a true fan does lol.... I also love Stephen King....he has disappointed me many more times than DK has!!
Dustin....all this talk of Cold Fire has made me want to read it again !! It has been years since I read it and I realize I can't remember it very well. :-)

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

I would be interested in re-reading Cold Fire soon :-) We can feature Cold Fire as a group read so keep me posted when you decide to start it.

[Barbara]

I sure will Dustin.....I just started King's new book Mr Mercedes so I will find my Cold Fire book and make it next

[Barbara]

oops.....so I will read Cold Fire....and The City at the same time. Lol

[Mike (the Paladin)]

The City doesn't come out till the first...I'll decide about it when it's available I guess.

[Courtney]

I think cold fire is gonna be my next read too! Ive got whispers, the mask and dark rivers of the heart i havent read yet too. One of my favorites was one door away from heaven. Theres so many to choose from i love it haha

[Courtney]

Definately want to read watchers and phantoms too! Thanks barbara!

[Barbara]

Courtney.....I love one door away from heaven too !!!

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

Cold Fire will be featured as a group read for one month from the start date. July 1st okay for a start date. I can put it sooner if you all want.

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

I like One Door Away From Heaven also. I got me two tattoos from that bookcover back in 2011. I have the phrase "One Door Away From Heaven" tattooed on my left arm and I have the lantern hanging from a branch on my right arm. I still think One Door Away From Heaven is the most originally titled Koontz book - so mysterious :-)

[Barbara]

Dustin that is a great tribute to DK and one of his best books....I agree the title is very meaningful and the story has so many layers

[Denise]

Well, I've been lurking around for awhile and feel like I can't post till I introduce myself, so here goes. :)

I'm Denise. I'm from Southern California. I've been a Dean Koontz fan since I was about 15. :) Some of my faves include Life Expectancy, Strangers, and Odd Thomas. :) Nice to "meet" you all! :)

[Shawn]

Welcome Denise this is a great group, I would like to re read cold fire, I can only remember parts of the story I read it years ago but I remember one part gave me a shiver down my spine and it's not often a book has that effect.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi Denise, welcome.

[Barbara]

Hi Denise.....I have been reading DK since I was a teenager too!!!
