DESCRIPTION:
With other stories and characters, I can identify the source of the inspiration, but not with Oddie and his books. Indeed I was, but it was also something more than that; and Oddie's ultimate destiny will not be merely purification to a state of absolute humility, but will be that and something else I find quite wonderful. Or so I thought. I now think seven. As I wrote the first chapter of Odd Hours, the fourth featuring my fry-cook hero, I realized that this was not an open-ended series, after all, but that it would conclude with six or seven novels. For those among you who long have thought that I should be institutionalized, just relax: I said I almost hear him. I suddenly saw the end point of his journey, the arc of it to the fin
Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas is one such literary hero, who has come alive in listeners’ imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is drawn onward, to a destiny he cannot imagine. Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems.“One of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction…a page-turning account…beautifully written…another li
"9+ hours I will never get back" according to Denise. I wanted to give this book at least a 9+ hours I will never get back I wanted to give this book at least a 3 but by the end, I just couldn't. The ONLY good thing about this book (and the other Odd Thomas books) is that you can read or listen to them in any order and they all stand alone quite nicely. Aside from that, they are TERRIBLE, in my opinion.True to form, Dean Koontz OVER describes EVERYTHING! In fact, if you ever wanted to know about the construction and smell of the underside of a pier, the first 3-5 chapters will certainly give you thatover and over and overspoiler, the underside of a pier smells of cre. but by the end, I just couldn't.

Nate Grey said An odd story. The lowercase treatment above is not a mistake. For those who have traveled along Odd Thomas' path this story marks a departure, and one I am not necessarily comfortable with. Part of Odd's charm is his guile. He relies on his wits and wit to keep him going, to foil nefarious plots, and always come out one step ahead. Although the wit is present, this Odd is suddenly the action hero (a word he constantly disdains). A mold that he does not comfortably fit into.I will not go into plot points here because this book must be read and you must draw you. "My second favorite Odd Thomas story. This one's a heck of a ride!" according to Nick Mnemonic. Something off in Magic Beach. Odd is back from his stay with the monks. He's in a town called Magic Beach. He encounters some people who've given Odd a bad feeling, one of them touches Odd and Odd is struck with a vision that's been haunting his dreams. Apparently the guy who touched Odd was struck with the same vision and immediately realizes there's something odd with OddThen the book really starts going, and doesn't seem to stop until the shocking end.We're also introduced to some new and very interesting people who've found their ways into Od
