Dean R. Koontz - Watchers

Pros: Storyline, Einstein, Main Characters

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Watchers is what every action/thriller book should be.

Review: Why write the 36th review of a book? Because it's worth it. Dean Koontz writes another book full of possibilities that are not beyond the capabilities of mankind. Genetic splicing and the secrets that government agencies keep, even from ...

Pros: Excellent original story with memorable characters

Cons: Some flaws... read the review and find out what.

The Bottom Line: One of Koontz's best efforts, if not the best and one of the best stories I've ever read.

Review: Watchers is one of those rare books that inspires either love or hate. I have yet to find an ...

Pros: Imaginative. Makes you hold promise for the future and dread at the same time!

Cons: No sequel...yet.

The Bottom Line: If you have never read a Koontz book, read this one first. You will be hooked!

Review: I have read all of Dean Koontz's books and this one is by far his best accomplishment. The characters are well-developed and readily accepted by the reader. This book will demand your attention from page one until the end. You will feel the fear, wonder...

Pros: Keeps you interested.

Cons: N/A

The Bottom Line: I recommend this book to Koontz fans because it has a great pace and keeps you interested!

Review: Absolutely fabulous! This book is 480 pages, but it is able to keep your interest until the very end. The book is about a lonely, depressed man who finds a dog in the woods, but the dog has a big problem. A very big problem! I am, however, not going to...

Pros: What you really need

Cons: Koontz is one of those who can

The Bottom Line: I recommend it to all lovers of books because they know what a real good book means

Review: That was the first book that I've read by Koontz while i was reading i just couldn't stop and even sandwich was forgotten until i finish.Impression was huge-such impression always stay for long after something like this.I have re-read this book 3 ...

Pros: well-written, terrifying, engaging

Cons: none

Review: Koontz outdoes himself with "Watchers". A story about a genetically manipulated, super-intelligent golden retriever and a mutated monster, both of whom escape from a lab in the east. The main character, Travis, finds said dog and discovers that the ...

Pros: I think this book would appeal to many age groups.

Cons: Dean Koontz is largely responsible for my not getting enough shut eye.

Review: Update March 6th: My original review was rubbish and not at all informative, so I am going to give it another go. Travis is a street smart guy who is pretty much 'done' with people after suffering enough personal drama in his life. He spends much of ...

Pros: Everything!

Cons: It has to end.

Review: I have read every Koontz book published. Watchers was my first Koontz read (years ago) & I have been hooked ever since. Not all of his books are instant classics, but he is consistantly fantastic. Watchers is my favorite book ever! Every time I finish ...

Pros: Typical Koontz style of interweaving several plot lines into one cohesive whole.

Cons: Cant think of any!

Review: As the title of this review implies, this is the first book written by this talented author that I chanced to pick up and read. To say that I was spell bound and enjoyed it immensely would be a little bit of an understatement. From the moment I picked up ...

Pros: Excellent characterization, keeps the plot intriguing.

Cons: Clumsy narration, some unbelievability, incredibly awkward love scenes.

The Bottom Line: Watchers is a mildly enjoyable read, but nothing to seek when looking for something to indulge into.

Review: Warning: Some Spoilers Ahead In today's era of popular fiction, a few names spring to mind when thinking of the consistent bestseller list; Stephen King, John Grisham, Anne Rice, JK Rowling, Michael Crichton.. Another one of these authors, one ...
