Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz


Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
Odd Thomas Series, Book 1
Publisher: Bantam (April 2012)
466 pages, eBook (purchased myself in a four-book bundle for $31.99)
Book Rating: 5 Stars

Odd Thomas is a quirky short order cook with the ability to see and interact with the paranormal, and though he keeps his gift a secret from most, he tries to use it for the greater good. This book is written in first person and I loved the strange ramblings of the aptly named main character, his voice filled with dry/dark humor and an eccentric kind of insight about the world that was irresistible. His adventures are numerous and constant, and you never know what impossible situation he will find himself in next, or how he will get out of it. Great read and I look forward to reading the next book in this series, Forever Odd.
