OMG I can´t believe this book is so so so good. How I fell in love with the dog which is natural and I was ready for that but I wasn´t prepared at all to feel so many mixed emotions about the creature and how unfair its path was…. If you will only read one book by Kontz, this is the one to read
Love everything Dean Koontz. Lightning is my favorite.
My mother told me about this book and I absolutely loved it. The storyline was very creative and well written!. I highly recommend!!
Great as always
I just live books by Dean Kootz! He’s one of the best!
This book was my introduction to Koontz and his work, and is still a favorite of mine. Koontz draws you in from the beginning and hold you to the very last page. Full of wonderful characters, but the dog steals every scene he is in. Hollywood needs to make a decent film version of this awesome book.
In my top five books ever. Absolutely delightful and unforgettable. It’s high testimony to this book that they’ve tried so many times to make a good movie of it. They’ve all failed to come anywhere near the magic of the book, but maybe someday they’ll get there.
Loved this book! It was a page turned from the very beginning and found myself wanting the story to continue at the end of the book.
One of the greatest stories I have ever read.
This book, which I read years ago, was my first introduction to this author whom I couldn’t get enough of his books. So, Consequently turning my family, co-workers, and friends onto him. Watchers was the best thriller that I have ever read by Dean Koontz. You, the reader, will be in for a thrilling story.
Loved this book.
GREAT READ, COULDN’T PREDICT WHAT MIGHT COME NEXT, AND GREATLY ENJOYED THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FICTION
I thoroughly enjoyed this creatively original story. I highly recommend it if you want something unexpectedly different!
My first Dean Koontz book. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Just could not get interested in this one
I read this one 26 years ago, and it remains my favorite book of all-time. I need to pull this off the shelf and read it again. Fantastic storyline, great characters, thought-provoking, entertaining, .. I could go on and on.
Unique story that kept me interested and engaged. I really enjoyed it.
Watchers is one of Dean Koontz’s most beloved books. I know people who have read it that don’t read. Not only have they read it, but decades later, they love it and have a tendency to want to tell you every detail about it. One of his best books!
Brilliant. On the intwined lines if possibility and reality.
Imagined or reported. Leaves the reader wondering.
One of my all-time favorite books. Excellent characters too. Lightning is my other Koontz most favorite read. Can’t recommend this one enough.
