Just wondering if anyone has read some of his books?

[dragondrool]

I've read a few of the older ones, like Nathaniel and Hellfire that were okay. I tried reading a couple of the newer ones and couldn't get into them. It's my sister's favorite author.The Unloved was probably the best of the ones I read. I read them about 15 years ago, though, so I don't remember much. I did read the Blackstone Chronicles, too. It was okay.

Nathaniel is the only book I've read many years ago and I was just wondering if I should read another one.

GADZOOKS!!! John Saul!!!

Adore John Saul!!!

The name of the one I am trying to remember...it's about the blind girl who died and haunts the house on the seaside cliff?

OOh loved that one, Loved It!!!

Bugger if I can't remember the name:confused: :confused:

[Evil Agent]

I read about 4 or 5 of them, 5 years ago. They were good for what they were, but after the 4th or 5th I started to realize that they were all very much the same...

They were still pretty cool, however, but I never read any more of his work. I figured there's enough King out there to last me years, and even Koontz which is probably better than Saul.

[Wolf]

I haven't read anything by Koontz is he good?

[Johanna]

I read When the wind blows a few years back and I liked it, I haven't read any other of his books though.

Do you think I should??? And if so, which ones???

Koontz is a good writer and his books are usually very entertaining, but over the last few years he seems to have developed Stephen Kingitus - in other words his books are about 33% longer than they need to be. If I were you I'd go with his books from the 80's to early 90's. After about 1997 the Stephen Kingitus creeps in.

[Chick Flava]

Koontz used to be my favorite writer (Read Lightning, The Bad Place, The Servants of Twilight) but he hasn't written a good book in years.

I read a couple John Saul books, but I can't remember their names. I guess that tells you what I thought of them.

[Caleddin]

Saul's after a while pretty much become all the same.

Second Child was OK, and I've just picked up a copy of Darkness but can't get into it.

As for Koontz yay! Watchers is a must. About an intelligent dog. Must read. Read again. Lightning too and Midnight also fall into that catagory.
