early Barke was the best - I enjoy some of recent stuff but damn he took a left - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:22
I much prefer Koontz. It took me two years to read Insomnia. - sycor Apr 8, 12:08 22
- I loved his stuff at first but stopped reading Koontz as he was too formulaic for me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:18 1
  - yeah, i enjoy them well enough while I'm reading it, but then i forget everything that i just read, it's all 'the same,' -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 12:39
- Love: Twilight, Lightning, Phantoms, Midnight by Koontz, his new stuff is James patterson rushed trash -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 12:15 1
  - "mostly" -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 12:16
- I read Insomnia in a couple days. Quickest read was Dead Zone and Thinner. The book It seemed to take forever. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:10 15
  - I tore through Insomnia as well. And It is my all time favorite King novel. So nice, I read It twice. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 12:19 14
    - you sir are CRAZY - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:20 13
      - here's the thing, i know i've read it, but i can't tell you the plot. it must have been boring. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 12:24 2
        
        *spoils* - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:37 1
        
        oh, right. wow, that sounds only vaguely familiar. i must not have bothered retaining it at all. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 12:38
      - You, my dear, have no heart. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:22 9
        
        I consider it the " menoch the devil" of Kings books - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:24 8
        
        It was a love story. Guess you don't like those. What did you think about The Dead Zone? -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:26 6
        
        Dead Zone was amazing - I liked the love story in it - it seemed real and troubled. Before and after Insomnia - he could do no wrong in my eyes - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:34
        
        Dead Zone was the first King I read. My mom gave it to me when I was in jr high school, I think. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 12:30 4
        
        It is my fave, by far. - Spawn Apr 8, 12:30 3
        
        the movie was filmed in Niagara on the Lake and they build a wooden pagoda in a park for it and it's still there - everyone gets there wedding pics - Andie Apr 8, 12:38 2
