I had some from a yard sale in a box in the basement but somehow never get around to getting to them. Probably a matter of too many books and too little time.

I read this many years ago but for whatever reason, all I remember is the good dog. I think the whole premise upset me and possibly I put it out of my mind.<br /><br />I was a late convert to Dean Koontz, didn't read his books until just exactly a few years ago. My most favorite Dean Koontz book remains ODD THOMAS and one of the sequels, BROTHER ODD. Koontz also wrote a book that was published right after ODD THOMAS that I liked very much as well. But damn if I can remember the title. <br /><br />Koontz is one of those funny writers who either seems to write a great book or a totally awful book. Nothing in between.<br /><br />I'm with you on 're-reads'. Mostly I love them.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-29814174186600090402011-02-25T20:00:47.845-06:002011-02-25T20:00:47.845-06:00Oh wait, I suddenly remember they made this into a...Oh wait, I suddenly remember they made this into a film with a young Corey Haim.

I'm a dog lover too, so this one hooked me. And the Other was a very cool villain, a bit of a classic Frankenstein character with a serial killer edge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675220785164388203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-74209732831818672522011-02-25T19:22:45.924-06:002011-02-25T19:22:45.924-06:00I have always been a fan of Dean Koontz, reminds m...I have always been a fan of Dean Koontz, reminds me of my youth. I haven't read this one but his earlier stuff is the best. He had a weird run in the 90s but then got good again in the last 8 years or so.<br /><br />:)Michelle (Red Headed Book Child)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02203139179710289533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-73006125219714350422011-02-25T18:54:24.935-06:002011-02-25T18:54:24.935-06:00I've read Koontz's Odd Thomas series and r...I've read Koontz's Odd Thomas series and really liked it, but nothing else.

The second one scared the pants off of me, so I've been hesitant to read another one.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
