I've been wanting to try the Odd Thomas series and was taking a car trip and this was the first one on CD I could find at the library.It was different, but good. From what I hear, it's the "worst" of the series, so it can only get better from here.It was an enjoyable listen in the car and kept my a...

Parts of this were pure gold - when Odd admitted to having kept the monster card... so much awww. But parts were not so much. You know that saying about suspension of disbelief not meaning hanging it by the neck until dead? Yeah. Datura. There were some truly creepy scenes, don't get me wrong, but.....

Oh my, but how the mighty have fallen. I really, really, really wanted to like this one. I read Odd Thomas some time ago and I was floored by how much I enjoyed it. With that being said, other than the sarcastic humor that made me fall in love with Odd in Koontz in the first place, I found nothing e...

An ok book. I'm not a big fan of "occult" crap, so I doubt I'll read Koontz again. I have no idea why Koontz is so popular.

My favorite still so far is the first in the series. Forever Odd is a rather small story involving only a limited number of characters with really only one story arc and one principle setting (a burned out casino) in the whole book. The action takes place over one day. Since I read it on an e-rea...

Odd is such a great complex and dang near saintly character. The ending to these books are always tear jerkers!!

This is the sequel to Odd Thomas, one of my favorites from Koontz. I wasn't expecting it to be as great as the first in the series but I was looking forward to it anyway.Sadly, it lacked that emotional spark that made Odd Thomas so appealing a read. This time Odd's friend is kidnapped and he spends ...

An excellent sequel to Odd Thomas, which I read back at the end of 2004. Unfortunately, it took me a few minutes to remember what had happened to Stormy and the exact details of August that Odd kept referring to so I wish I'd have read Odd Thomas more recently, or else had it on hand to briefly gli...
