I liked Watchers and Mr. Murder a lot. Watchers is kind of pulpy, but I like that. I think the most unsettling thing about Koontz is the sheer volume of work. It makes a writer look lazy or moneygrubbing. The only one who gets away with putting out that much work is Joyce Carol Oates, who ironically does more sloppy writing than King or Koontz. Her commitment to grue and grotesquerie is cool, but her lit fic efforts don't always pass muster.
