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.
Lol Koontz and cussler were read on many a summer vacation when I was sprouting too.
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!
When I was a teenager my grandmother got me into his Saucer series which I quite enjoyed
