Book is moreso realistic and haunting in so many ways the mental images you can develop when reading can hair you fer a while
Characters were rather weak and not believable. Caricatures actually.
Read this book years ago. Still one of my Top 10 favorite books ever! Maybe Top 5.
One of my favorite books. I love dogs but this was far above just being about dogs! the mystery was wild, scary , surprising beyond normal, not quite a regular Koontz book in my mind. I have read it many times, as it is an older book. I loved it.
Predictable.
I read a long time ago. My memory is I enjoyed it.
Watchers was the first Dean Koontz book I read. Not usually one for horror but the storyline intrigued me. This is still my favorite book by this author (although I’ve liked many of his since). I laughed, cried, cheered, freaked out. The characters are wonderful and the storytelling superb.
My favorite Koontz book. Read 20 years ago and just read it again. Loved it just as much as the first Time! One of my top 5 books and I read alot.
This is my favorite of the Koontz books. Love it for the 3rd time.
Great book !
One of the best books I have read.Very original and thought provoking.
Fascinating book. One of Koontz’ best. I thoroughly enjoyed the book on many levels. As a dog lover, as a scientist, as well as an avid fan of Koontz’ writing style and one who enjoys a good action novel. It was a ten in all of these areas.
This book has been made into movies a couple of times and ruined both times. The book is wonderful with characters that make you care about them. I would recommend it to anyone.
GreAt author, great book
Wonderful you will fall in love with einstein
This is probably my favorite book of all time. I loved the story which made me laugh and cry and shiver with anticipation. I think I even held my breath a time or two. The characters are ones you’ll never forget and you’ll love them all.
Koontz is always good.
What can I say….it’s Dean Koontz!!
Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. I’ve never read one of his books I didn’t like. There all page Turners! Keeping you on the edge of your seat with the turn of every page!
Watchers was the first Dean Koontz book I read. It is one of my favorite books. I have read it multiple times.
I love Einstein. He is my hero. This is such a good read.
