Agreed, I thought it was pretty good. Far from his best work though, and if you dont already know, the ending sucks. I wont spoil it incase you dont know it yet....but I thought it was horrible.

If you like it, I really recomend Watchers and Winter Moon, if you havent already read them.

Picked up Battle Royale for the second time 2 days ago. Ill try to get all the way through it this time. Im not much of a reader. Id rather just watch the movie.

I have finished it, and you are right, the end is a little of a let down. The book does have some tense moments though. I don't know if you are aware of it but there is a movie version starring Ben Affleck. It isn't horrible.

Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. I have read Watchers but not Winter Moon.

Winter Moon doesnt live up to Watchers, but I thought it was alot better than Phantoms. IMO, nothing Koontz ever has or ever will ever write comes close to Watchers.

Winter Moon is pretty cool if you're in to alien stuff. The ending is typical Koontz...I find he can start a story and build it up great, but has no idea where it's going. Cold Fire is the best example, IMO, but you can find that in most of his work.

I am currently reading "My Left Foot" by Christy Brown. It's a great book and a truly inspiring biography. The movie version is excellent. Daniel Day Lewis's performance is fantastic.
