Hey everyone, here's the thing: I want to read a few of Dean koontz's books because I've heard they were good, but I don't know which one I should start with?
Is the odd series great and should I start with it or should I start with something else like the bad place or watchers?

So, which one would you recommend, or which one was your favorite (if you read multiple)?
And also is it easy to read for a non-native speaker? I mean, my level is between Stephen King (which I read without problem) and lovecraft (which can be hard considering his vocabulary) but I guess since he's pretty modern it should be ok?

Thx a lot for taking some time reading this, and hopefully helping me out!
Cheers :)

regarding the english, if stephen king isn't a problem, dean koontz should be fine too. i've only read the first book in the Odd series and 2-3 that aren't in the series.

i would suggest looking at goodreads to see which books are most popular. some of his books are kinda weird that i'm not interested in.
