How many of them have you read? There are a bunch, aren't there?
Reading
. Mr. Koontz, yes, you are still my hero :)
Mod
Hahaha - your spoiler cracked me up!

I have never read anything by him Kristen but I know David is a big fan so I plan to try something by him at some point.

Yeah, he was one of my absolute favorite authors in Middle School and High School, along with Stephen King (who I'm also having trouble getting into these days). Could be I'm less of a fan of their newer stuff or I'm so used to their writing that it's getting boring. Could also be I'm not getting enough sleep :D. The latter wouldn't surprise me.
Start with Odd Thomas--those are my fave Dean Koontz books!!

Bluemoon wrote: "DAVID: I believe there are five books in the series and I've read up to the fourth book. Love all four of them!"OK, awesome, thanks!
For those interested in getting back into reading Koontz (or giving Koontz a try), I'd also HIGHLY recommend his Frankenstein remake series.
. They showcase everything he's capable of: storytelling, humor, description, action, and horror. Although I love Odd Thomas, I think as a whole, the Frankenstein series is my favorite of his :)

Mod
on audio narrated by the fabulous Kristen Bell and I really think Kristen can do some side business as a narrator. She is great so far. LoVe Veronica!!
No worries, I hope you like them as much as I did! I always get worried when I really love something that others might not, especially when they're somewhat different. There's a character in the Frankenstein series that totally remind me of Dobby from Harry Potter, except even funnier :)
Poison Study and the following two books are some of my all time favourites!
Mod

I think there could be more character development but it's good for a first book. I'll read the second one and see if the author improves.
Mod
