The new novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Face Another distinctive, original and thought-provoking work of fiction from Dean Koontz, one of the best-loved and biggest-selling authors in the world.

What an interesting protagonist Odd is!

Book 1 is my favorite Odd Thomas book, to-date. Awesome story with a memorable character. I thought about Odd long after I put the book down, and it definitely made me want to read more. I started on Forever Odd (book 2) the same evening.

Dean Koontz has created a very interesting character and some witty dialogue and humor. While it might not be as dark as most of his other works, Odd Thomas has an eerie foreshadowing that really works. You have to keep reading to find out what happens.

I must start book 4 soon...

Excellent as always

This is yet another high caliber book that Mr. Koontz has read. It makes me wish when I had moved that I had kept my previous DK collection. :( *sniff* now im sad. oh well, i'll work to rebuild it.

Koontz' best character

This is Koontz' most interesting book to date. The sequels all lose some of the fun of the original. I still have hope for the series, though, with the introduction of a possible melding of this storyline with that of his second most interesting character, Chris Snow.

When he gets - the gettin's good

Reading Koontz has become much like swatting through the sticky dense web of mongering relics of words ready to be plucked through the darkness into some form of sense. In short, just like that ridiculous sentence. Now I see why he does it. That was fun.

But, I go back to the DK hole and get more, because Koontz keeps coming up with interesting tales. In this case the now literary machine that is Odd Thomas is introduced. It has been five years since this book was published, but I speculate thousands more will come crawling back to Amazon and pluck or download it just shy of a major motion picture release.

How would I speculate on such a thing when none of Koontz's other novels have provided enough mustard to interest the MAJOR Hollywood hotdogs? This story is that good.

Minus the miles of skimming past useless description - I get it, the sky is orange - the characters, setting, and story are all winners. Cheers to you, Mr. Koontz.
