I would start with his best series first. The Odd Thomas, then Frankenstein.

I’ve read close to 50 of his books and they’re all great. Watchers and Lightning are my favorites. False Memory, The Face, The Husband – those are really good ones. Definitely recommended the Odd Thomas series. Seize the Night and Fear Nothing are a two book series I really liked too.

My first Koontz was The Sleeping Doll. Was really good ?

I’m pretty sure that’s a Jeffery Deaver book, not Dean Koontz.

@Amanda just checked, it is. Sorry I don’t read much of either. It’s on my husband’s shelf too hidden amongst his Star Wars, Michael Connolly and Dean Koontz. I should put my glasses on before I post ?

Any one of his books. I like the Odd Thomas series. The first book I read by him was Intensity. Also from the Corner of his eye, The Husband.

I stopped when he started the Odd Thomas series. I couldn’t get into it. Then my taste in books changed and I moved on.

Watchers was my first. Still love it. Freaked me out even more since I was living in the area where it takes place.

so first ill day that I’m drinking, so I might be wrong about him, but some authors don’t actually write the books their names are on. they are a brand of sorts. so earlier work is most likely his. especially if you’ve noticed a change in style
