The Oddly Entertaining Mr. Odd Thomas

Veering away from my previous topic, the Inheritance Cycle, I will move on to one of my favorite authors, Dean Koontz. I have only just begun reading Koontz after receiving recommendation to read Odd Thomas from a friend and I am already thirsting for more Koontz novels. 

Odd Thomas is most definitely a bizarre read that wraps itself around the premise of a man who can see dead people. Odd Thomas feels inclined to help the people that he sees in order to help their souls pass on. But, of course, the dead don’t talk, making it an investigative journey on Odd’s part. But Odd stumbles onto a plot that seems to be much more than just a single killing which sets the stage for the events that unfold within this gripping novel. 

Dean Koontz fills this tale with many likeable characters, developing them so thoroughly that you find yourself caring for their wellbeing, especially Odd Thomas and his “soul mate” Stormy Llewellyn. The plot is riddled with plot twists that you will never see coming and it all leads up to a masterful culmination of action, suspense, and surprise in the closing chapters. Do yourself a favor and make sure you get your hands on a copy of Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz for a suspenseful thrill ride.
