Summary: When he gets - the gettin's good
Comment: 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.

Summary: Hate Hate Hate This Book
Comment: Man do I hate Odd Thomas...This is a winding ride of a read that takes you through highs and lows ins and outs only to drop you to a depressingly dead thud in the end. All that work and expectation to be left deadly dissapointed in the end is not worth the read or your precious time on this earth. I know for certain I would have dropped this book as quickly as a rattle snake if I could have for saw it's downer of an ending. This book definitely falls in the DO NOT BOTHER AND DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME category of books I have read.

Summary: Koontz' best character
Comment: 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.

Summary: What an interesting protagonist Odd is!
Comment: 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...

Summary: Excellent as always
Comment: 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.
