Review
Acclaim for Dean Koontz and his Odd Thomas novels “Odd’s strange gifts, coupled with his intelligence and self-effacing humor, make him one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction.”
—Publishers Weekly “Koontz gives his character wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity—and moral outrage.”
—USA Today “The ultimate Everyman . . . an avatar of hope and honor and courage for all of us—the linchpin of a rollicking good tale . . . Odd evokes the homespun wisdom of Forrest Gump amid the mind-spinning adventures of a Jack Bauer.”
—BookPage “There’s never anything predictable about an Odd Thomas adventure.”
—Booklist “The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is [Koontz’s] most likable creation . . . candid, upright, amusing and sometimes withering.”
—The New York Times “An inventive . . . mix of suspense, whimsy and uplift.”
—The Washington Post “Heartfelt and provocative . . . a wonderfully rich and entertaining story.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
