Wow, Heather made an engaging thread.

I loved Phantoms. I read that book, swiping it off my ex's floorboard between my parent's house and back. I read Odd Thomas too. The first was great, but I couldn't really get into the second one. Odd reminded me of someone I once knew, and old flame. Couldn't shake it. However, those books are extremely creative. I've read some of his other stuff now, but titles are elusive bastards sometimes.

All in all, I don't mind Koontz. He's not what I would consider great, except when he is, if you know what I mean. He's got some great people in his books, i.e. Odd.

Now I don't do Layman. I bought a book of his short stories on my trip back from the UK, and they were horrendous.
