This first book of the Odd Thomas series really allows the reader to get to know Odd personally! I can not wait to continue the journey through the next one!
Reviewer: Georga G
The Odd Thomas collection is one of the best series of books I've read in a long time. You quickly learn to love Odd. He's funny, smarter than he gives himself credit for, & sometimes his comments to the living & dead are simply outrageous. I love Dean Koontz's writing, But personally I think Odd Thomas is the best of the best.

I loved the Odd Thomas series! My sister first told me about them and since I didn't really like Dean Koontz books I was hesitant. So glad I did finally read them!

Save your money.

Odd Thomas is a wonderfully original story full of metaphors and similes; a true work of art. Unfortunately I have not enjoyed the rest of the series as much as the first book.
