I have over 60 of his books now, some of which are out of print & cost me a pretty penny on ebay. If you guys decide you want to read one by him I'm all in. I would suggest Watchers, it is a thriller, but it has a really nice love story & a very special golden retriever.

I posted in another thread about you being a Koontz fan. And I don't blame you on being OCD where his books are concerned. He knows how to take the reader to the edge with most of his books. I don't have as many as you do but I've borrowed and read quite a few. There was one book of his that I just could not get going on - not sure why and can't even remember the name! I'll have to check at home and see if I still have it and let you know the name of it. It might have been Watchers but not sure - I know it started out with this woman and her son and some old lady looking in the window at them - scared the boy - just couldn't get beyond that to read the rest of it.

I also like some of Patricia Cornwell's books. Only one of her's I struggled to get through (and I mean struggled!!!) was the one she wrote about Jack the Ripper. Here I thought it was going to be a mystery type along the lines of Jack the Ripper and his tyrade on England back in the late 1800's - but nooooo.....it was HER theories on who he could have been based on her investigation into it - can you say BORING?!?!?!?! Other than that, I've liked all the books by her I've read. They aren't the same "thriller" that Koontz writes, but they are suspense filled!
