It's so hard revisiting a book like this. Like fight club and gone girl, you can only read this once and then are scarred on what you didn't know then, but know now. Review pending...
As I put this aside the first word that comes into my mind is...wow. Koontz did an amazing job on this book and I am enthusiastic about purchasing the rest of this series. Without over the top gore, just the right amount of psychological thrill and a dash of dark humor you have Odd Thomas. From the first page Koontz's free flowing style harbors a need to continue reading. Odd is a character like none other. Considering the not only dysfunctional but screwed up parents he was given I was pleasantly surprised when Koontz did not over indulge the readers with his past, but instead dolled it out throughout the entire book and slowly gave us the complete picture of who Odd became. Wonderful storytelling, a play on the emotions and a great read.
This was my first dean koontz book, and I found it pretty interesting/enjoyable.
I got it in audiobook for my Thanksgiving drive. I found the quality of the reader to be pretty good.
After watching the film years ago this has been on my list to read. I'm glad I finally got round to reading it as it added more depth to the movie while still having the warmth of the characters. Looking forward to reading the next ones.
