"Watchers" was the book that got me hooked on Koontz. Although I have been disappointed by some of his work since this one, "Watchers" was by far the most entertaining and heartwarming novel he has written. As a dog lover, I still get choked up thinking about Einstein the Golden Retriever and believe my dog my be almost as smart.I borrowed this book many years ago when it first came out and have decided (after reading the reviews in Amazon) that I need to get one for my own library. DON'T judge this book by what you may have seen in movie form, they all sucked. Please DK, give us a sequel for the puppies.
