Strangers

I am not a huge fan of his: some of his books I really like but others I don't.
The Odd series is very popular (I like it too)
Others i really like are:
Strangers,
One Door Away From Heaven
Watchers
Fear Nothing and its sequal Seize the Night (Christopher Snow series)
From the Corner of His Eye
Sole Survivor
and a few others...
it doesn't really matter which you start with of his (unless you want to read the Odd Series or two with Christopher Snow, then start with the one in the beginning of the series). The plots of some of the books are really different than others, so I would just go by description and find one that seems to have a plot you would enjoy.

Watchers is Koontz's best work. Strangers and Lightning are also great. The first Odd Thomas book was wonderful, they've gone steadily downhill (I'm dreading the next two). His co-authored Frankenstein books are masterful (the third book in the trilogy is not out yet). Everything else I've read (almost all) are of lesser quality than the aforementioned. (I bought The Darkest Evening of the Year the day it came out, read 3/4 of it; I love dogs and still can't find any reason to finish it).
(Whispers was pretty good, so was Phantoms; maybe you should just read the one word titles?)
Sorry I sound a little strident this evening...It's possible I'm still upset because I read Watchers first and nothing else has equaled it. (Kinda like reading The Stand and then Tommyknockers)
