I really enjoy Koontz, he's a decent writer and tells some entertaining stories. Some people seem to feel that he just writes to make money and that his heart and soul isn't it, well, I could care less. If the stories are good I have no problem enjoying them regardless of his endgame. The only problem I've had with Koontz are themes that seems to repeat themselves way too often in different books so I generally can't read a lot of his work back to back. Recently I've read Intensity, which seemed to inspire High Tension, and Velocity. My wife just finished a few including Bad Place and she really enjoyed that one. Nobody can deny that Phantoms is a treasure right? I guess I've always seen Koontz as one of those "popular" authors that most people write off because he's mainstream but who constantly produces very readable books. Oh, and his Christmas book, Santa's Twin, is one of the best Christmas books ever. :)
