The last two books I read were by Dean Koontz. The thing is, I love Dean Koontz. He's like Stephen King for people like me who love King's ideas but hate his writing style. I first discovered Koontz in one of my dad's bookshelves, where he had basically every Koontz novel ever published (big fan of trashy horror and crime novels, my dad). I read one (
The Bad Place) on a whim and was hooked.
I've read a ton of Koontz's novels, from his early works like
Shattered and
The Face of Fear right up to his most recent books, the two I just finished:
Relentless and
What the Night Knows. I had fun with them.
That said, Dean Koontz is a godawful writer.
