Somebody gave me Strangers and I loved it! Never before had I read anything like it, completely clueless over halfway into the book about what's going on. Bizarre clues throughout, good characters. Then when you find out what's going on it's so far fetched but somehow believable. The next Koontz book I read was Watchers and it was the exact same formula. Bizarre clues, kept in the dark, far fetched premise. I think I read another (long time ago) and it was similar. Don't get me wrong it's a good formula but if all of his books are like that then I can see why people poke fun
