I LOVED it so much I’ve read it twice and likely read it again. I don’t do horror so I was apprehensive about reading this but being a dog lover my curiosity got the better of me.
My all time favorite Dean Koontz!
I can’t tell you how much I loved reading and re-reading this book. It is an awesome read.
Read when it first came out, still have the original book ‘somewhere’… OoO lol!
Awesome story! Seriously one of my favorite reads. The characters are so BELIEVABLE! Honestly. You can loose some serious time in this book. You won’t put it down.
Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors & Watchers is my favorite Dean Koontz book. If you like suspense, read this book. If you like original characters, read this book. If you like action packed novels, read this book. If you like…aw, just do yourself a favor & read this book.
One of his best books! Absolutely entrancing.
One of my all time favorite books. Have read it many times. Anyone who loves dogs, especially Goldens, should read this book.
This is my absolute favorite book and I’ve read it numerous times. You will fall in love with the characters. It makes you laugh, cry, and want to hide under the covers.
I purchased Watchers by Dean Koontz even though I have read it several times. I just love the character of Einstein and I love the plot. This is one of my favorite books of all time.
Love this author, I have read almost all his books so much I am rereading them!
One of mt favorite Dean Koontz books.
Watchers is my favorite Dean Koontz book.
WATCHERS is my favorite novel of all time. I’ve read it numerous times, and enjoyed it every time. I generally do NOT gush about a work of fiction, but you should read this one.
I couldn’t put it down – well that’s not quite true. I read for a couple hours before bed and had to put this book down and read something else for the last half hour because I was afraid I wouldn’t sleep. I don’t usually read “science fiction” type books but this was really good. There’s a good guy (golden retriever Einstein) and a really bad guy (The Outsider). They’re both totally implausible…..or are they?
SECOND TIME READ BY ME. PROBABLY HIS BEST.
This book was so good they made a movie out of it. But as always you can not beat the book. There are twist and turns that you will not be able to put this book down till the last page. Have fun reading.
My favorite of all Dean’s books. Characters have you interested in them from the very first page. It was a fantasy book (unusual brilliant dog) but I love a bit of fantasy!
A favorite of mine-read a few years ago but will read again!
If you have an animal that is considered part of your family, love thinking this could be possible and love good vs evil this is the book for you, I’ve owned this book for years and reread it often. It never gets old.
This is my favorite Dean Koontz book!
