No, not Intensity, that's about Chyna...

I love Watchers and Lightning. Midnight is good too. Strangers. There's another one I very much enjoy, but so many of his titles are obscure. Anyone remember the book about Frank, and he goes to a married P.I team to help him figure out where he goes when he sleeps? Intensity, maybe?
That would be me (one of us, one of us, one of us). Please know that while I may sound kind of snarky with my comments about the supernaturally gifted Golden Retrievers and the flower thingy, I do enjoy most of Koontz' books. It's all in good fun! But I am seriously just tired of these two elements that seem to keep appearing in his books tho. It would be like King writing about Barlow and arc sodium lights in every book. Oh, wait, the arc sodiums do show up alot, don't they.....That was The Bad Place. A mostly good book but it had a couple of plot twists that seriously undermined it. I could be wrong but I don't remember any golden retrievers in it, but I'm pretty sure bougainvillea is mentioned, for those who, apparently, like to keep track of such things.

You don't know what she's up to when you're not around.....I vote for Twilight Eyes. Then Watchers.
And yes I have a Golden Retriever. She has not re-arranged magnets or anything yet.

I love flowering vines!!! WTF's wrong with everybody about the bougainvillea?! It's gorgeous! That's the point! So are Golden Retrievers, and anything golden for that matter, damn! What's wrong with you people?!...I see no end in sight for the bougainvillea.
Personally, I enjoy most of Koontz's books. I think people just like to have a little fun with this topic. I don't think any of it is mean spirited. The folk here are too nice for that.I love flowering vines!!! WTF's wrong with everybody about the bougainvillea?! It's gorgeous! That's the point!

Hi Bluntie. Please see post #204.I love flowering vines!!! WTF's wrong with everybody about the bougainvillea?! It's gorgeous! That's the point! So are Golden Retrievers, and anything golden for that matter, damn! What's wrong with you people?!
I'm aware. I'm joking. Koontz himself knows that the bougainvillea annoys some people and has included it just to be mean.Hi Bluntie. Please see post #204.
I'm just joking.Personally, I enjoy most of Koontz's books. I think people just like to have a little fun with this topic. I don't think any of it is mean spirited. The folk here are too nice for that.
I thought those spoiler elements were wonderful unpredictable, and enhanced the bizarre of the book.Well, having Frank's character teleport to an alien world when he slept was way too far out there and just didn't seem to mesh with the rest of the book for me, and the villain being a hermaphrodite was just too much icing on the plot cake.
Basically, it was a pretty solid book, but for me he just put in some elements that just took me out of the book at times. Kind of like Hollywood sequels these days where they just stuff everything they can in to make it bigger and better and it ends up just feeling flat.
Others may have had no problem with these elements, but they just didn't work for me.
