Forever Odd

Another dip into the world of Odd Thomas and it was just as good as the first. It was more of a thriller than a mystery this time around, but by no means did this take away from it. Dean Koontz really created an admirable and likeable character in Odd, and I surprise myself by how much I love this character!

The setting felt amazing and appropriately creepy. The villain was a perfect contrast to Odd. The moral war that Odd has with his decisions and actions is to well done. Also, there's one chapter close to the end that really wrenched at my heart! Damn you Dean and giving me the feels!

It leaves me wanting to immediately pick up the next book and get right into this world again. Though I'll space them out for now, as there's only so many books and I want to spread it over some time. Bravo Dean! I loved it!

Not as enjoyable as the first, but then again Odd is in a dark place right now dealing with grief. So in a way the storyline was perfect, the way he processed his thoughts and the way he reacted to people and situations. He's lost and trying to find his way back to life, but not quite making it yet. Odd is a character you grieve alongside with and in your mind encourage him to move on. Like the friend you know is silently suffering, yet isn't ready to hear words of encouragement.
