Thanks Geordieloaf, good to know.

It started off really well, which is a good sign. I've read all DK's books up to this one so far... and have several others of his waiting in line.

Was excited to see at the book store the other day that the next installment of " Odd Thomas: Brother Odd" is now out in hard cover.

Have you read many of his books, Geordieloaf?

geordieloaf · 11 Jan 2007, 21:17

I have read alot of his stuff. I love his style it is a close call between Koontz and King as to who my fav is. I would actually go with Koontz as his ending are usually better IMHO.
My favourte Koontz Novel's are Fear Nothing then Bad Place. Although have you read his take on Frankinstein it's very good to.
Let me know what you thought of Life Expectancy then we can disscuss it as i don't want to spoil it for you.

Jeanie · 12 Jan 2007, 05:37

Same here.. really enjoy Koontz and King, and agree that for me personally, I like Koontz a bit better.
At the moment, I can't recall the plot of "Fear Nothing" it's been along time since I read it. I do remember "Bad Place", and really liked that one. :) One of my favs, due to his take on how a dog would think is.. "Dragon Tears", the parts involving the dog character made me. LOL :)
I haven't read the Frankinstein books yet( I have them though).
Yes, would love to talk about "Life Expectancy", when I finish it.. could be awhile though, since I don't find time to read much. Anyway, I look forward to chatting about it, Geordieloaf. :)
Thanks

Cool.. another Koontz fan.

I have "The Husband" but haven't read it yet. Happy to hear you thought it was good, SamCat.

I have the Frankenstein books too, and thought I'd wait until the 3rd one comes out, and then read them all together at once.

If anyone has read "Velocity", was it good? I have that one, and the second part of "Odd Thomas" waiting as well.

J.

SamCat · 14 Jan 2007, 11:59

I have read Velocity but cant remember it but the Frankenstein books are really good i wish i'd waited and read them all together cos they come out so far apart!! Forever Odd is a really good read too and i think theres gonna be another Odd one after it did feel like there was more to come!!

**Monstro** · 14 Jan 2007, 12:28

Watchers was great, also thought "Lightning" and "Night Chills" were excellent.

I saw it in hard cover a few days ago. It's called "Brother Odd", SamCat.
I liked the first Odd Thomas story, and great to hear that "Forever Odd" is good as well.

Monstro.. I liked both of those DK books as well. :) I've read them all.. up until the most recent ones.. which I'm working on.

**Monstro** · 15 Jan 2007, 00:37

Samcat really got me into them but then I read one that just didn't do anything for me which kinda put me off, must try again!!!!

SamCat · 15 Jan 2007, 00:59

mszee · 15 Jan 2007, 01:00

I've read almost all of his earlier books...it's new ones that I am not particularly keen on...

mszee · 15 Jan 2007, 01:01

SamCat · 15 Jan 2007, 01:05

The Odd books are a good read and his updated Frankenstein books are really good too!!

mszee · 15 Jan 2007, 01:06
