Dare to Dream discussion

I was waiting for you to do it. I don't want all the threads attached to my name :-) Congrats. You have posted the first thread that wasn't created by me.
I knew I could count on you.

yeah, Dean is a pretty decent author I must say :-)

I like Dean Koontz books so much that I re-read them several times and I have tattoos based on his titles.

yeah I know.... The Key to Midnight

It should - I think FTCOHE was a much better book than TKTM

As soon as I'm done with my Dan Chaon kick, I will go on another Koontz Kick.

i read a lot of dean's books many years ago and there are some that i know i read but can't remember the titles. can anyone tell me the one where the main character and his family owned a bakery? I also remember another book where the villain kissed his victims after he killed them but i can't remember the title. i really need to start rereading some of his classics!

Life Expectancy (my favorite Koontz book) features a family of bakers (and clowns :-)

In Koontzland, we are gonna be reading Strangers next, you don't want to miss it :-)

i knew life expectancy sounded familiar-i will have to reread that one. looking forward to reading strangers.

That is more than just a few Kyle. A few is 3. A couple is 2. You posted 8 and that's just Great :-)

My favorites from the ones you posted are The Voice of the Night and Strangers.

Are you going to re-read Strangers in April?

You made a rhyme DC. Haha

I try to be funny sometimes :-) and sometimes I don't even realize it.

The Voice of the Night is Awesome. I will have to read it again soon to remind me why I like the ending - I don't really remember anything except I really liked the book because it was disturbing and the audio version made me laugh :-)

My favorite Koontz books are Watchers, Odd Thomas (only the first one), and One Door Away from Heaven. I really liked the Curtis kid in ODAFH, he was pretty cool. And the twin showgirls kept cracking me up.

I actually liked 77 Shadow Street.

I was really excited about 77 Shadow Street but with all the characters in the book it was a bit much - good thing some of the residents had died, gone on vacation or recently moved because I had hard enough time keeping track of everyone who was in residence. I still really liked the book but I ended up giving it 4 rather than 5 stars. I thought it was an interesting idea, loved the beginning and the great descriptions, but in the end couldn't give 77 SS an "Amazing" 5-star rating.

.... Looking forward to ODD APOCALYPSE in JULY!!!!

Anyone want to join me in a Koontzland conspiracy to get ODD HOURS picked as the group read in JUNE so we're all geared up for the new ODD book? :-) Think about it.

I'm with you DC, just tell me when and where. We haven't started the June nominations yet, have we?

I couldn't finish odd thomas because i thought it was slow and boring. I was disappointed-i really thought it sounded like an interesting series.

Nominations will start on May 1st :-)

I like Brother Odd and Odd Hours the best in the series. Odd Thomas and Forever Odd weren't my type of books so if you're like me you might give books 3 & 4 a try :-)

Dean just posted an update on the upcoming Odd Thomas movie! Whaddaya think?

Well that's promising! Dean usually hates the movie adaptions of his novels.

Thanks for posting that update :-) Glad to hear that it is finished.
