Dean Koontz has a long list of books that I love. WATCHERS will always be near and dear to my heart, because it was the first of his that I read. His writing style is so engaging I was hooked from page one and skipped my college classes, because I didn’t want to put the book down. In fact, that week I bought and read three other Koontz novels like I was some kind of book junkie. WATCHERS combines the best of Koontz’s ability to make you love the hero, the super-smart golden retriever, the terrifying monster, and the stalking serial killer all at once. There were scenes in this book that had me so scared I was practically strangling the paperback. And I don’t scare easily. If you haven’t read WATCHERS yet, you are in for a treat.
