Does anyone read Dean Koontz' works?

Couldn't find a thread for this, so decided to start one.

Just wondering if anyone is reading or has read any of this guy's novels?

My high school friend used to read this guy's novels.

Eventually he decided to become a Christian. I believe these novels may have influenced that decision somehow.

I recently borrowed one of Koontz' books from my local library, it's titled "Midnight". It's proving to be a page turner for me so far.

Dean Koontz is great at making you keep reading. He is an expert in suspense. I recommend Intensity and The Darkest Night of the Year.

I've read three of his books. One of them was a bit dodgy and I can't remember the name. The other two were Odd Thomas and The Face. The latter was an amazing read overall and the former had an okay story but the protagonist was brilliant (he was so humble but not a walking mat at all, really inspirational).

I've read one of his books and started reading a graphic novel series by him that I really liked based off of the Frankenstien story.

I love his Frankenstein and Odd Thomas series. Oddly enough, I came here looking for other readers of Koontz.

Oh I love his Frankenstein series. The last book felt pretty rushed but it all wrapped up nicely at the end. I haven't read anything else by him except for the first 3 Odd Thomas books, got about 1/3 through the fourth one. I'd like to read The Good Guy.
