if you want to read the books and enjoy them I suggest you do that first before reading his political/religious views. Koontz is fun too (or at least his older stuff is) but it doesn't translate to movies worth crap. Oh, I've read the Ender trilogy and got a bit of the way through Empire. I was more interested in what made him a loon. He's a damn crazy Mormon who called for the overthrow of the US government if it allowed gay marriage. I love love love Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, and I want very much to find a copy of Ender's Game published prior to his later editing of the books to Mormonize them. I dislike a lot of the later books because Ender got way too preachy, but eh. |

The few Koontz titles I've read left me bored and uninterested. His plots are derivitave and his characters flat and lifeless. I don't like everything King has written by any means, but Koontz isn't even in the same league.

King and Koontz are in my top 5 favorite authors list, because they have managed to keep me up all night with the lights on, and a baseball bat in hand. Lovecraft, Lumley, and the Pinis round out the list. (Yes, those Pinis.) Oh, and dude -- have you been eating glitter? |

....ohdeargodskywise.... (moooooan)Y'know, I'd normally include the fapping smilie here, but as it turns out, fapping is the one thing I do well with my left hand instead of my right. *gazes sadly at his still-splinted left index finger*

Then you have David Allan Coe, who had some good tunes back in the day (and the infamous "Nothing Sacred" album), but has gotten quite racist of late.

Ah yes, the man who gave the world the ultimate country and western song: I was drunk The day my Momma Got outta prison And I went To pick her up In the rain But before I could Get to the station In my pick-up truck She got runned over by a damned ol' train! As someone pointed, though, its not quite the ultimate: there's not a dog. |
