There are plenty of prolific authors out there with whom I'm completely unfamiliar. It was only a few years ago that I “met” (and fell hard for) Stephen King. So I decided to give Dean Koontz a whirl, and (as suggested by my lone star rating) Odd Thomas and I did't exactly hit it off. I get the wh...
I'm not a Dean Koontz fan at all but I loved this book. I plan to read the rest of the series as well. The idea of someone seeing dead people has definitely been used before but I found the ideas to be presented in a unique way. The main character was extremely likable. The book was a pretty quick r...
I have to say Odd Thomas had a name befitting of the person. I'm not quite sure it gets more odder than Odd. He made for a most interesting character, even the parts of him that weren't supernaturally other set him apart from the rest. He seemed like a slightly innocent but old soul. Almost as if he...
I enjoyed the second half of this one much better than the first half. I read my first Dean Koontz novel last year and enjoyed it very much, but I don't remember his prose style being so precious and annoyingly affected. Is this the voice of a self-proclaimed normal guy who works as a fry cook? It m...
A story of a young man in a nowhere town who can see the dead. I won't give you much more of the plot. You can read the description on the book for that if you'd like. Koontz' Odd Thomas series has become something of his flagship work. I'd seen it a number of times, but never given it a chance. A f...
Odd Thomas sees dead people, but he does something about it. Odd is the short order cook at the Pico Mundo Grill in Pico Mundo. He discovers a sinister plot and sets out to stop it. This book had great characters, was funnny and I could not put it down. The Elvis conversation between Terri, Stormy...
Odd Thomas is one of the most endearing characters to ever step out of a book. He charms us with his underlying wit and sensible concerns. Odd is a hero who brings out the best in most people, and protects them against the worst. A supernatural power like his is a gift, and sometimes a curse. This i...
I always like to read the book before seeing the movie whenever possible. This does lead to mixed results, because sometimes I love the book and am flabbergasted with the movie. I can say that now having read the book it does appear that the movie follows the book quite closely. (At least in the 2 m...
I can't remember the last time I was emotional over something in a book...... Got a lump in my throat over the ending of this one. I'm obviously continuing with this series.
