Book Review: Forever Odd by Dean Koontz

Forever Odd (Odd Thomas Novel, Book 2)Forever Odd by Dean Koontz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was very close to giving this one 3 stars, but the ending was phenomenal. I love Odd, so I'm going to finish this ride with him. The book was not great, but Odd becomes increasingly more charming and brave as the pages fly by. There was also an HP reference. Actually, there were 2. It was a stepping stone and I know there is a building mystery with Odd that I'm excited to find out. There was a significant lack of Stormy, but a lot more Ozzie (whom I also adore).

Book Review: Odd Thomas

Odd Thomas (Odd Thomas, #1)Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book is gripping the entire way through. I've never been a huge fan of Koontz. His writing is lovely, don't get me wrong. Horror is just not my genre, typically. It was hit after hit after hit...things happened so quickly there was hardly time to breathe. I am now a forever fan. I love this story so much. Odd and Stormy and Ozzie and Porter have drawn me in to the world of Pico Mundo, California, with it's sweltering, sauna heat, and it's strange young man who regularly encounters the lingering dead.
