I've never heard of this author before it was chosen for my book club. I know that's really sad but I fucking loved this book with everything in me. What a great way to start off the new year. Watchers has everything you could want in a horror/thriller: we have complex, flawed characters with backstories, likeable characters, that one psychopath character, the ugly ass character everyone's terrified of but kind of pities, unique plot, A DOG plus a dog that has a adorable sense of humor and can communicate with people wtf, lots of suspense and violence, multiple povs where you see things coming but the characters don't so you're basically shaking on your bed and trying to telepathically warn them and of course we gotta have a lil romance.
DON'T READ THIS AT NIGHT
I was literally scared out of mind and afraid to go out at night by myself
Why did mr koontz try to ruin my emotional soul at the end I was literally gonna throw the book in the road and run it over with my car. Your girl was hyperventilating over here
And don't forget the hilarious banter between Lem and Walt we love that
Ken I'm so sorry for that experience you went through in the housing tract that scene had me quaking from fright I've never sweated sm
I LOVE YOU EINSTEIN YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
Einstein reading books was my favorite part of the whole book tho and his obsession with mickey mouse literally the cutest thing
Garrison was my favorite like what a badass old man I'll pay you to be my grandpa sir
But why are there 4 movies of this and they all look like crap ok but luke skywalker is in the 4th one omg
Time for a watchers movie marathon
On my way to read every book bro had written
Ok I usually don't rant this much and my reviews are way more organized but this was god tier and this unorganized af review is proof that it's good and you need to read it. The cover's ugly but still read it
