Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. My first Dean Koontz novel. I couldn't stop reading. Didn't want the story to end.Book Review: DOG GONE GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite writers is Dean Koontz, and this is one of his (and mine) favorite novels. It is exceptional, and incorporates some of his main themes of love, courage, dedication, etc. If you're a dog lover, it's even better. Forget the atrocious films made from this material. The films were awful. The book is superb.Book Review: Dated, Hackneyed, A Tad Juvenile--Still A Great Read
Summary: 4 Stars
As with many of Kings book's, a rereading of Watchers brings a number of Koontz cliches into sharp focus (see lady naava's review). If you are familiar with the genre and Koontz in particular, either skip this one or read some negative reviews to prepare you for some of the cheesy, too-convenient Koontz cliches. (...)That said, this book is an incredibly effective page turner. This is as far from a slow starter as you are likely to find, and is the polar opposite of a slogging march to "disappointment-land" like Pet Cemetary. It's certainly not high culture, there are some self-serving plot devices (bordering on juvenile male fantasy--brooding loner with heart of gold rescues damsel, etc.) and the novelty of the idea of a chimera has worn off a bit (this book is pre-Discovery Channel), but as a light entertainment and stay-up-all-night page-flipper, this book is awfully effective.
If you love dogs, want a good scare (might not be as scary as it was 10+ years ago), and can stomach some of Koontz's romantic plot devices, this will probably be an all-time favorite. If not, better to skip it.

Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this book as a gift. Have read his books in the past and this one looks just as good.
