I've read some of Koontz's works, and (unless I'm getting my authors mixed up, but I don't think so) what put me off most was the ham-fisted celebration of creationist christianity. I recall one book where the villain acted the way he did because he wanted to save evolutionary theory or something along those lines. That included killing his wife's children and telling her they'd gone away on some UFO.
I read that one years ago when I was far less critical than I am now, but even then I had a really big WTF-moment.

Ixarku:
I've only read a few of Koontz's books - in fact, I think the three I mentioned earlier might be the only ones I've read.  At the time, Phantoms and Twilight Eyes were supposedly his best.  I would still recommend them now to horror fans.  His other stuff, I dunno, but I suppose there's a reason why so many of his books get turned into bad direct-to-video movies.  (Phantoms also got turned into a movie, but I recommend ignoring it, avoiding any spoilers, and just reading the book.)

MLP, Modern Warfare, Humanity.

@OP I can see your argument with cats and it is completely understandable, however if you can find that one cat that really loves you they are the sweetest things in the world. The same thing applies to humans. I find dogs to be really annoying since they have no sense of personal space (duh).

You get maybe 5 years before you're dead. And 1/2 of those will be spent in a nursing home for the criminally insane. Well, on that bright note, at least you don't suffer from insanity, you are enjoying it too much.

So you'd be like a replicant, born with a lifespan of only a few years, and whats worse, your not an android with superhuman strength and masterful intelligence, your just one OLD ass sucker with one hell of a back-ache problem and a burning resentment for "kids these days"... Also your colostomy bag needs changing.

Sounds like the good-life
