I have tired of his books, but I do admit to having read most of them. For a young reader though who liked King's The Mist, but may be intimidated by the length of King's usual books, I would recommend Koontz. The Mist reminded me of Koontz themes. They are a bit scary, or at least try to be, though I found them more amusing. Every book has a love story mingled in, and they always have a happy ending. The good guys always win, and there is somewhat of a logical explanation at the end for whatever bizarre things may have occurred in the story, rather unlike King.
Anyway, I think students who liked The Mist, or Twilight might like Koontz. They are all a quick read, and there are tons of them. Intensity was his best. I would even read that one again. Other than that, I was thinking of the kids. They could get a kid to keep reading.
