    I remember Watchers as a slow, but definitely not-boring adventure.
    If you don't like the first part,I doubt you'll like the last quarter any better.

      Well, I kept thinking the story would be interesting form a different POV. But I'm going to finish it... I just might have to read something else before I sally forth...

        i have that on my Amazon wish list. After you suggested Knockemstiff last year, Pollock has become one of only a few writers to have me champing at the bit for more. Plus, it has the Devil in the title, which for me gets instant kudos.

          Going to be finishing my ARC of Torn by Lee Thomas, which means I need to decide which book to read next since the only 2 ARCs of the 5 I got from CD last week that I haven't read is Lucifer's Lottery which I already have on order, and Screamplays, which I will likely look at and read later on. Debating between Christopher Golden's The Ferryman, Douglas Clegg's The Abandoned, Afterlife, or Neverland, or maybe Simon Clark's Vampyrrhic or King Blood. Might go with The Passage, though might hold off until my possible vacation time later in July. Or maybe I should read one of the short story collections I have. Good thing I am thinking about it before I finish my current one, lol

              I'm still sat staring at the final two books of Steven Eriksons' Malazan Book of the Fallen, and I know once I start, that'll be it for about three weeks and nothing else will get done.

                I read the first three.
                Amazing books - some of the best fantasy I've ever read.
                I do want to read the whole series, but these books are HUGE!

                    I think i'll read Lord of the Flies next. I've heard it has similarities to lost in some respects.

                      I've also finished the first 3. Great fantasy fiction but mentally draining!!

                        Currently, I'm reading Dreamcatcher by King, but true to form (I usually pick my next book before I finish the one I'm reading), I will read one of these next: But, I will let the registered members decide!

                        I think I know where this is going, but i've never posted a poll before...
                        I am surprised that no one suggested that you read Intensity. It was the first Koontz book I ever read and I became a Koontz fan because of it. I know that you went with Watchers and are not loving it. I hope that you give Intensity a try! I think it is his best work.

                          Yes!!! A great, intense book!
                          One of Koontz's best!

                            Cool. If I decide to give Koontz another try, I'll consider Intensity.

                              My copy of On Dangerous Ground - Stories of Western Noir arrived yesterday so that will be next. (Unless In Laymon's Terms arrives)

                                Not sure if I already commented but my next read is Night Shift by King.
