Book Reviews of Forever Odd (Odd Thomas, No 2)Book Review: Can Odd continue? Summary: 5 Stars
I am not going to do a rendition, this has already been done quite well. This book was just as good as the first one, Odd Thomas. I think Dean Koontz really shines in this fascinating series about an honest good-guy who just happens to see dead people. You would think having Elvis for a part of his dead forte would get corny and cheezy but I think you would be amazed how Dean Koontz avoids the cheeze. I highly recommend this book. But you have to read these in order, I do not believe they would be as compelling if you tried to read each as a standalone novel.
Book Review: the Odd trio Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the 'Odd' series. Word to the wise... read them in the order they were written. I made the mistake of reading Brother Odd first. Took me forever to get through it, as I couldn't make sense of what I was reading. But I am a Koontz fan, so decided to give Odd Thomas and Forever Odd a chance. So glad I did. He is a great character and you really fall for him and his gift almost from the start. Highly recommend it, but DO read Odd Thomas first
Book Review: If you liked Odd Thomas you'll like this, too Summary: 4 Stars
Dean Koontz has a breezy, well-crafted writing style which novels like Forever Odd show off nicely. This story continues where Odd Thomas left off, with the same characters in a similar plot line. Personally, I like the Odd Thomas series (including Brother Odd, the latest installment) but it is an acquired taste. In my opinion, Odd Thomas was the best - with each successive installment novel a little less great then the previous one.
Book Review: Disappointing Summary: 2 Stars
I love koontz. Loved Odd Thomas, the Husband...most of his other work. That's why I was so surprised (not in a good way) by this book. I agree with the reviewer Terry B on most aspects. If this had been a book shopped around by an unknown author, it never would've made the cut. Laughable villains, rambling story that never seemed to get to the point...I'm almost afraid to read Brother Odd at this point.
Book Review: Dean Koontz is just like the guy next door Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a fun and very believable story about a guy with special sight. It is written in the first person and is just like listening to a regular guy from your neighborhood tell a story. This book has it all. You'll find, drama, suspense, mystery, love, and it will hit every emotion you have. Even if you haven't read the first ODD THOMAS book, you will not be able to put this down until the end.
