Interesting premise and action flows well. Strong characters (human and otherwise).
One of the best books I’ve ever read, Very suspenseful and scary at times, but I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next.
Great story. Couldn’t put it down.
A bit creepy, but very entertaining.
I loved this book enough to actually buy it.
This was the first Koontz book I read, and it remains a favorite.
I’m a huge Dean Koontz fan..
I’m a big big fan of this author and I read every single one of his book. Great writer!
Read this a while ago and still remember how good it is!
This is my all time favorite book. I can’t count how many times I have read it. It was written decades ago, and it was way ahead of its time. Einstein might be my favorite character of all time as well. I fell absolutely in love with him!
Koontz the dog lover at his very best.
Good fun and a fast read.
If you like monsters, this is the book for you.
An unusual book, with paranormal aspects, horrible military experiments gone wrong, the best canine character and an unlikely love story you can’t help but root for. This book made me want to stand up and cheer for everything that’s good in the world.
This is one of my favorite Dean Koontz books. Absolutely loved the characters and tense scary situations. Hard to put down. Worth re-reading.
I loved this book would read it again and tell people to read it
I think Dean Koontz books are written with dog lovers in mind…and that is what I am. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and getting to know Einstein. Dean Koontz summarizes Watchers best when he said “Watchers is a tale of a hero with a tail of his own.”
I absolutely loved this book. Dean Koontz is a very talented writer. He knew how to make you love the hero and at the same time feel sorry for the villain–both being genetically altered dogs! Amazing how he told the story. Definitely a nail biter and a must read!
This book is amazing. I really hope you will read it, especially if you love dogs.
Now this is a book that is scary. If you enjoy thrillers, this is the book for you.
