Maybe it’s trendy to hate on Koontz but I enjoyed his books when I was a bit younger. The Face, Watchers, TickTock and a couple others but I also liked Clive Cussler at the time so there is that. I think I found it easy to pick up and read as opposed to an investment like King.
A quick google says that Koontz has sold 450 million books and is worth over 200 million. I’m sure he is okay with not being some people’s favourite.
I enjoyed the hell of his books at one point, read a bunch of them over the course of a year or two. In hindsight he's very formulaic and everything is pretty predictable, but they're a fun read for what they are.
Yeah, a perfect airport or holiday book that entertains you like a brainless action movie!
Lol Koontz and cussler were read on many a summer vacation when I was sprouting too.
When I was a teenager my grandmother got me into his Saucer series which I quite enjoyed
