Me too! He's one of my absolute favorite authors! I've been hooked on his books since I read "The watchers" at age 11.

Yes, very much so, I even had to get the graphic novels (the books are way better) and the movie. Have you seen it? I thought it was good. Other Koontz favorites include the books about Christopher Snow, and "By the light of the moon", and "One door away from heaven". Oh and "Sole survivor".

Two Graves by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

I liked the Odd Thomas movie. I didn't expect it to be as good as the book and it wasn't but I wasn't disappointed. It did well with the characters and didn't cut out too much of the important action in the book.

Yeah, it's always so nice when you find the movie isn't disappointing!

No, I haven't seen it, and had NO idea there was a graphic novel. I'd love to read it, even if the book is better.

Other Koontz favorites include the books about Christopher Snow, and "By the light of the moon", and "One door away from heaven". Oh and "Sole survivor".

I like alot of his older stuff----even better than some of his new stuff, like: "Shattered", "Whispers", and "Watchers". The way you can tell his older stuff is that he went by "Dean R. Koontz". I like the "Christopher Snow" ones, though.

Skipping X

(The) Yiddish Policeman's Union by Michael Chabon

There are three Odd Thomas graphic novels: In Odd We Trust, Odd Is On Our Side and House of Odd. They aren't bad. It's more that graphic novels don't have the density of print novels. They're all early Odd adventures. Stormy is in them.

Thanks for providing the titles, OnPorpoise. I meant to but forgot. Personally I liked the first two best. Stormy is in them, Campin_Cat.
