My Favorite Dean Koontz Books

So, I’m Michele, this is Somewhere in Bookland and these are my top 6 favorite Dean Koontz. I love Dean Koontz writing and I have for years. It was super hard for me to narrow it down to these top 6.
Trigger Warning:
Just a general warning for some of Dean Koontz's books. They may contain graphic scenes. At least two of these books contain rape scenes and/or an allusion to self-harm.

I wrote Dean Koontz a letter once and sent him my copy of "Odd Thomas" Honestly I thought it was worth a shot but it was unlikely I really hear back from him I was shocked when he wrote me back with a personal letter, with my book signed....and his new book signed too! Nice man!

[@SomewhereInBookland]

That’s so cool! For as big of an author that he is I’m surprised he wrote back.

[@alechorowitz5279]

@@SomewhereInBookland I was shocked. The books and letter he sent me are in a special box now.

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

Wow! Good going!

[@rolandofgilead43]

there's a you tuber on here who once wrote Stephen King i think it was around (1982) i believe and King wrote him back this long before King stopped answering fan letters but he sent this you tuber i forget which one it was where it was a post card i think? and he sent it through his P.O.Box he didn't of course show that since it had his real address and i can understand that but it was real now that's just so cool and worth a ton of money now i'm sure

[@filex00]

Intensity is a book that grabs you and doesn't let you go til the very end.

[@pattytrophia370]

Intensity is Koontz best book. Action pack so creepy so scary. Loved it

[@paulflint6254]

One of my most favourite horror authors, glad you love Dean Koontz too, i love his style. Great video

[@thunderchild1083]

Best Dean Koontz books 1. The Watchers 2. The taking 3. Whispers 4. All Odd Thomas books. If you like Dean Koontz and haven’t all ready give Shaun Hutson and James Herbert a read

[@johnnynevermind3377]

ok, give us their two best dean koontz like books my friend, I never read either shaun Hutson or james Herbert.... hook It up!

[@rrsuda740]

Right on! False Memory and From the Corner of his Eye are also 2 of my faves by him (:

[@CenturianCornelious]

I am subscribing just because you said "I don't know how to explain Dean Koontz books very well. All his books are hoooo."

[@kylet2237]

False memory is one of the best books I've ever read. It was so amazing

[@brentshinn1060]

Top 5 Dark rivers of the heart Life expectancy Odd thomas The good guy False memory

[@count_bodies_like_sheep9296]

I just started reading Dean Koontz and I am almost immediately hooked right now, I just read Innocence and The Voice of the Night and I loved them both. I don't know which one to read next....

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Michael Lamere I got hooked too...I think the first book of his I read was The Taking (if I’m remembering correctly). It had just come out and my mom had bought it to add to her Dean Koontz collection so I picked it up and the rest was history.

[@thunderchild1083]

Michael Lamere Read The Taking, or my favourite of his The Watchers

[@shaggyballs-nh7ei]

Michael Lamere I just got done with twilight eyes it was Great I recommend that one

[@SagarsDeck]

I was expecting Intensity and Whispers in your list.

[@rolandofgilead43]

i was shocked Strangers wasn't on it that's my favorite of his

[@naturelover_75]

I kept waiting for you to mention Odd Thomas.. I'm thinking about reading that series..

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Anthony Perkins I vote for reading it...apparently the also have the first one in graphic novel form...I saw it online the other day and ordered it but it hasn’t arrived yet Edited to add: While looking up how many books he has online I realized that the graphic novel isn’t the first book but a prequel to the series, if I read it correctly...and there are three

[@naturelover_75]

Somewhere In Bookland Hmmmm Interesting You into Lee Child? I just downloaded Jack Reacher series... I've got 863 ebooks... I have Overdrive.com ...

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Anthony Perkins I’ve honestly never read Lee Child, I have heard of the Jack Reacher series before but never picked it up...it sounds interesting though...I’m going to have to check if my library has a copy. And, woah that’s a lot! I use overdrive for library e-books, I can never remember to return physical books on time so I like that they auto return with overdrive.

[@emmaknight3890]

LOVE the ‘ODD’ series‼️

[@shocker147]

Intensity is his Koontz's best book.

[@drew.reviews]

I've only read a quarter of his books, but my favorites are Watchers, The Servants of Twilight, Darkfall and Midnight.

[@marthabroxton7366]

My favorite Dean koontz’s book is the watchers . I love this book the first time I read it I couldn’t put it down. I have read it Manet times since . Now I introduced it to my grand daughter to read . She’s going to love it too.

[@RebecasGrotto]

I've tried reading Dean Koontz before but it wasn't my cup of tea! I've only read a couple of chapters of one book, which I don't even remember anymore haha! maybe I'll give it another whirl soon.

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Rebeca's Grotto I would recommend it but I'm biased because I love his books, lol. A lot of my friends who read don't actually like his writing either.

[@Redundant_underscore]

My favs... 5. Phantoms 4. The Bad Place 3. Twilight Eyes 2. Watchers 1b. Odd Thomas 1a. Whispers

[@sadiedew3060]

I agree so much! Love your recommendations! Well done. Thanks.

[@GJB1065]

Watchers. Great read. Also like twilight eyes and mr. Murder. Nice video

[@SomewhereInBookland]

wahoo4db I have yet to read any of these ones, but I believe I have Watchers on my shelf...or my Mom does so I might have to pick that one up soon.

[@thunderchild1083]

Somewhere In Bookland I would read The watchers I think it’s his best book, give the Taking ago as well and you should read the other Odd Thomas books they’re just as good

[@SomewhereInBookland]

thunderchild1083 I don’t think I’ve read the watchers so I’ll add that to my list. I have read the taking and most of the Odd Thomas books, my mom and I were quite obsessed with them. I have been wanting to reread the Odd Thomas ones, however, so I can finally finish up the series.

[@thunderchild1083]

Somewhere In Bookland did you know they made a film from the first book? It’s not bad but not great

[@SomewhereInBookland]

thunderchild1083 yea...I saw it in Redbox one day and made all of my friends watch it. I agree completely with your assessment of it, not bad but not great. Even still I wish they had kept going and made them all, I would have loved to see Brother Odd in movie form as that one wigged me out a bit while reading it.

[@Danimal4992]

Thanks for making the list.

[@Local_yokels_monsters_myths]

You are great. My fave is “Midnight” my sister gave me her copy. II also like Watchers of course and Twilight.😅Keep up the good work. Subbing

[@elcheekoful]

Read 'The Bad Place'!. That's my favorite Dean Koontz Book. It's a page turner for sure,if you like weird books.. I haven't read all his books. I've read about 8 of them.

[@rolandofgilead43]

i'm reading that now i'm on page #102 at the moment. he's done over #150 books i'm not kidding he's done a lot

[@AntonChigurh130]

I love Dean Koontz's old classic novels. Fear Nothing and The Face of Fear are my favorites.

[@stevetrowbridge7425]

I've read a SHIT TON of negative reviews for Ashley Bell, lol. A lot of people don't seem to like that one, but I'll probably check it out since you said you liked it, :)

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Steve Trowbridge yea, I've read a lot of negative reviews for it too. I understand where people are coming from as there is a lot going on so it's kind of all over the place. I've also heard people say they found it slow, but I personally enjoyed it. If you do end up reading it let me know what you think. 😊

[@alancarnell2747]

I just started the video and I just thought it was fair to warn you that I will judge you harshly if my favorite book isn't on your list. You understand.

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Lol…duly noted

[@alancarnell2747]

You're fine. It was #4. It was my first DK book and the one all of his others are judged against.

[@SomewhereInBookland]

@@alancarnell2747 ohhh that was one of my first ones too, my very first one was Odd Thomas

[@laurenpigott5320]

have you read phantoms by him

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Lauren Pigott I haven’t read it yet, have you read it? If you have, did you like it?

[@rrsuda740]

Phantoms is a good one. The "ancient evil" is fascinating

[@SagarsDeck]

I am reading it now, its cool.

[@Adrianferngully]

My favorite is tick tock, and also strangers. And false memory

[@madeleineizaguirre6483]

I speack English but i don undestond much

[@katkal3]

not laura dane, its laura shane

[@Booknerd1]

False Memory was amazing and I love Odd Thomas I'm reading the frist book in the series .I love Dean Koontz recently started collecting his books.

[@pauldareason]

For myself, Twilight eye was the book that sent me through every emotion.

[@supernova1969]

I love the Door to December

[@michaelhill668]

Am I the only one who really liked winter moon?

[@harmonizerus]

Damn, no watchers, no phantoms? Maybe you read those and liked these more, if not your missing out, also darkfall and the bad place. Good list though!

[@SomewhereInBookland]

harmonizerus honestly I haven’t read those. I’ve heard a lot about them but am definitely in the missing out camp. I’ll have to try to get to them this year.

[@rrsuda740]

Of those 3 mentioned above, Watchers is great, as is Phantoms.... But the Bad Place is so twisted, I'd have to choose it first.

[@elcheekoful]

The Bad Place is my favorite Dean Koontz's Book. I've read about 8 of his books. But dang 'The Bad Place' was my favorite. And yes I like it better then phantoms and watchers

[@davidlona7553]

Odd Thomas is a Beautiful Story. Awesome Book

[@samchristian6966]

What is the scariest Dean Koontz book?

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Sssaaammm hmmm...I don’t really think of his books as scary necessarily, I mean they mess with your mind for sure but not in a traditionally scary way. If I had to choose though I think I would probably go with The Taking.

[@samchristian6966]

Somewhere In Bookland ok thank you. I was going to read Stephen king but apparently it’s very sexual. Do u know any really SCARY books not by Stephen King?

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Sssaaammm Just a heads up but Dean Koontz books are pretty sexual too. And I can’t think of any off of the top of my head that aren’t Stephen King, I’m sorry, I don’t tend to read a lot of scary books.

[@samchristian6966]

Somewhere In Bookland that’s fine thanks though

[@jorgecarquez3876]

The Bad Place....traumitizingly good

[@katatonickiwi8310]

Nope. Haven't read a single book in your top 6 lol In no particular order. The Bad Place, Dragon Tears, Midnight(mainly because it was my first), Twilight Eyes, The Taking, and Darkness Comes.

[@hobbsmakescomics]

Best representation I ever saw for what I thought the Bodachs in Odd Thomas would like was a game called Legacy of Kain, Defiance. There are these shadow creature enemies. Also I thought the movie did a great job too lol

[@hobbsmakescomics]

Also The Taking and Darkest Evening of the Year are two of my favorites of his. ones that are not mentioned on your list anyway.

[@SomewhereInBookland]

I always thought the movie didn't get as much attention as it should've. Also I have read The Taking and really enjoyed it but I have yet to read The Darkest Evening of the Year so I'm going to have to add that to my tbr.

[@naturelover_75]

How many books does he have?

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Anthony Perkins if you trust Wikipedia he’s written over 100 books not including novellas

[@naturelover_75]

Somewhere In Bookland WOW take yrs to finish

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Anthony Perkins yea, definitely a long term commitment to want to read them all

[@naturelover_75]

Somewhere In Bookland I have read 21 of John Grisham's books

[@SomewhereInBookland]

That's a lot...for Dean Koontz I've read 19, he is definitely my most read author. Is John Grisham the author you've read the most books by?

[@aftonsanchez5617]

I love your Deadpools❤

[@pachion255]

The servants of twilight 👍🏻 captured me from the beginning

[@katatonickiwi8310]

Eep. I was bitterly disappointed with that book.

[@pachion255]

Aww... I only made it half way... I had to return it to the library and well.. They are closed for now.. I will have to wait for the other half... We'll see how the rest lands for me ╮(─▽─)╭

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

Junior Cain was my favorite character in From the Corner of His Eye, I didnt really like the way he ended up dying.

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

Well if you read Dean Koontz as much as I do you know the ending is going to be good.

[@bughead5615]

XxStonedKillerxX No! I JUST GOT MY FIRST DEAN KOONTZ BOOK- BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, Btw how is it??

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

its pree good.

[@SomewhereInBookland]

Junior Cain was such a good character to hate. He made my skin crawl at points. I loved to hate him and I agree that the ending was a little bit of a let down (in regards to him). There was all this build up and then it just kind of ended.

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

I loved to hate him too, but I like evil characters cause im so used to seeing the good guys win and its refreshing to see the bad guy win, in fiction purely of course. I recently bought False Memory. I hope its good.

[@ratgerms138]

Watchers

[@cryptofacts4u]

Great video! One suggestion is to be more aware of the number of times you use the word "and" in a video
