Odd Thomas is such an awesome character. I loved his integrity, his dry humor and his bravery. I recall reading a quote, something along the lines that bravery isn't the absence of fear, it's the presence of fear but the willingness to do what is needed, anyway. That describes Odd Thomas to a T.
I have been thinking for a long time about reading a book about Odd Thomas. Although I thought I would rather start with the first book in this series, but it so happened that I started with this one. And that wasn't a big deal.What surprised me the most in this book is its poetic angle. There are many sophisticated comparisons and poetic descriptions here. I didn't expect it at all. This is not something you usually see in thrillers. I don't think I have read any other book by this author, so I...
I didn't care that much for the second book in the Odd Thomas series but this third book really kicked it up a notch. I thought the end came a bit too easily, but there was a lot of genuine tension throughout the book and some very nice description to go along with interesting characters.
I love Odd Thomas. I think he is a great character: endearing, quirky, funny. All the qualities I would want in a good friend. And of course, his ability to see ghosts, and his fundamental compassion towards those spirits, makes him special and even more admirable.So I was fully expecting to love this book, as I did the first two in this series (Odd Thomas and Forever Odd).Unfortunately, ***SPOILER ALERT****the climax of this book was very disappointing. It lasted approximately 1 and 1/2 pages o...
I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. If you feel anything in my review is a spoiler and is not already hidden in spoiler brackets please let me know. Thank you.Still, the best series written by Dean Koontz. I admit I have always been a fan. But this series is truly a great one. This book was better than the previous one. It has the scary factor that I felt Forever Odd lacked. It was much closer to all the things I loved about the first book. Hopefully, as the serie...
I didn't intend to obtain this book after reading book 2, then discovered it lurking in my TBR pile so decided it would serve the purpose as a lighter read in between the volumes of Jack Vance's Lyonesse series.The beginning is not very promising as it takes an age to get going after we learn that Odd Thomas has indeed retreated to a monastery, although he is a guest there, not a lay brother. The mountain is remote and in mountainous country, and the snow which will cut off the community for the...
Bizarre, funny, and horrifying - three things I have come to expect from Odd Thomas. It didn't blow me away, but I enjoyed it.Also, since I live in the Indianapolis area and Odd spends a good deal of time discussing Indianapolis, Hoosiers (people from Indiana, not the movie), etc., I was entertained! The story itself didn't come anywhere near drawing me in as much as the characters. In fact, I am not sure I fully understand what happened, but oh well!Finally, one heck of a cliffhanger that has m...
The thing with this series is that no matter how pointless each book may seem, I still find myself enjoying each one way or another. This is the third one and I still don't see the point of the series, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.The whole book was composed of father ____ and sister ____ did this and that. Plus Odd trying to explain that he's not crazy. It was an easy listen, plus David Erin Baker narrated it perfectly. I really liked the way he did it. It felt natural. Even the way he portraye...
This is the third novel in the Odd Thomas series, and I enjoyed it quite a bit more than the previous one. It's a little uneven, with some peaks and valleys of prose that's quite elegant in spots but totters precariously in others, some pacing that drags here but blasts along there before coming to a sudden conclusion, but a nicely rounded and well-drawn cast of characters, most of them new to the series. I enjoyed Odd's narrative voice, and his observations of the monks' lives. In having Odd go...
I've read Brother Odd five times. Brother Odd is among my favorites in the Odd Thomas series. For a long time, I said it was my favorite but now I am rather partial to Odd Interlude, so I'd say Brother Odd is my second favorite in the series.I like the idea of creating our own reality which I hadn't seen in Koontz's works since By the Light of the Moon , From the Corner of His Eye and most recently experienced in Ashley Bell.The most impressive thing to me is still the fact (view spoiler)[ that
