"I have read most of author, Dean Koontz books. I mostly loved the ODD THOMAS SERIES. I just read Watchers! I couldn't believe I missed such a well written story about a very smart Golden Retriever, Einstein !! Out of curiosity I most recently viewed the movie, "Watchers" now here again another movie not like the book. When I am hooked to Dean Koontz books?? Mostly is when GOOD overcomes EVIL. And I am a sucker for good brave heroes!!. So what pulled me in when I read "Watchers" characters: Travis, Nora and of course Einstein. I would love for Dean Koontz to take a stab at a new movie"Watchers" this time starting when Einstein meets Travis, & Nora ...... these character's I certainly missed them in the movie "Watcher's" --- Author -Dean Koontz Anna Bell series are other well written HITS !! thank you, Dean Koontz!!!

Watchers Dean Koontz Books Reviews
- I am almost 78 years old, with Alzheimer's, and rereading a book as good as this just makes my day! I read many of Koontz's books, but when he started the Odd Thomas series, things just started going bad. The books got darker and darker, the villains became more and more vicious and amoral and I just stopped, for the same reason I don't read Stephen King or watch horror movies. There is just too much real horror in the world for me to bathe in it.
- Watchers by Dean Koontz is one of my all time favorite books. I have read this story so many times over the last 30 years or so, that I have lost count of the number of times I have read it. Each time I read it, I enjoy it all over again! I bought three copies of the paperback to make sure I always had it to read. Over time I gave away two of my beloved copies to friends. When I saw the opportunity to acquire the E-book copy, I bought it immediately. What can I say about this amazing story? Extraordinary story! Unbelievable frightening plot! Your heart will be pounding as you read from one frightening event to the next! Can the hero and heroine and the star of the book, a beautiful, intelligent dog, survive an unbelievable terrifying alien enemy and a nasty, cruel human enemy! All I can say is you must read this book! It is one of the very best ever written by Dean Koontz - if not his best in my opinion. One additional note. This book has had THREE movies made with this story as the basis of the movies. The first one filmed, has the star as a teenager (when in the book the male here is an adult in his 30s) with of course a teenage female friend and the dog. I strongly suggest you read the book! The movie does not do the book justice AT ALL and certainly doesn't include the story as it is written! What is worse, the next two remakes of this amazing story got so far from the book's story that the makers should be ashamed naming those two films after this great book. SO, if you see any movie called "Watchers" with a credit to the author Dean Koontz, be aware the films do NOT reflect the true story in the book!
- Loved this book when it was written and loved it all over again when I purchased it on my . Delightfully scary, touching, profound, funny, mesmerizing book whose characters will pull on your heart strings and stay with you forever! Einstein AKA fur face is the best fictional dog I've ever met - he defines "Unforgettable". Everything Koontz says in his afterward is true because I've had the same conversations with my fellow readers about Watchers many of whom are now also planning to go back and revisit. This is Koontz at his best and a classic! And if wishes were horses...there would someday be a sequel!
- One of the most enjoyable books that I have ever read. You'll fall head over paws for Einstein, aka Fur Face, the Golden Retriever with human intelligence who plays a mean game of Scabble. Einstein's nemesis, the Outsider, will scare the bejesus out of you, but you come to understand why it does what it does and the perverse bond the Outsider shares with Einstein. The most terrifying character to me was the mafia hit man, Vincent, who is the sickest sociopath since Hannibal Lecter. You'll need to read the book to appreciate what "Sssnap" signifies. I haven't even mentioned Travis and Nora, the other main protagonists who Einstein brings together to form the most unlikely but devoted and loving family you could ever imagine. The other ancillary characters, Lem the NSA Director, Walt the county sheriff, Garrison the attorney and Jim the veterinarian all contribute greatly to the action and intensity of the plot. This is a book well worth your time. I highly recommend it.
- I mean, what's not to love about a super smart dog...or any dog, for that matter. Even found myself feeling bad for The Outsider once I read his backstory. But all the OTHER backstories, that ran on FOREVER AND EVER...made me want to pull my hair out. That and the fact that every time the story was about to get interesting again, the momentum came to a screeching halt because the author had to throw in the landscape, the decor of EVERY ROOM, what everyone had to EAT (at every meal), what they were wearing, what they dreamed about.....Well, you get the gist. Nothing makes me more frustrated than having to skip pages just to stay with the story.
I understand the need for character development. But dang. Wasting 25% of the story on how oppressed Nora (the girlfriend) had been, or how she was coping with her new hairdo and designer dresses, was pure torture. - Well what a surprise to find A Watchers story. One of the most beloved of all the stories I have read in my old life. I liked many of your stories because they had "heart"/ Watchers was by far my very favorite.. I always wanted to get a doc and name him Einstein. But I settled for Freddy who was almost as smart as Einstein, and Angel who is just a sweet dog and pretty. She certainly lets me know if I am not listening to her properly.
Thank you that Watcher story, it touched my heart and put tears in my eyes. I so thought the movies they made would represent the story properly but I think it was 3rd try that almost got it. But sadly not. So Einstein will live belovedly in my old memory. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. - I have read most of author, Dean Koontz books. I mostly loved the ODD THOMAS SERIES.
