I previously read the third and then the first novel in the Odd Thomas series and while the second novel, Forever Odd deals with this loving, unique character something is amiss.
Odd works alone in this novel and while this means it is less exciting then the other two, it does show the reader that in many ways ODD is alone despite those around him.
The villain in this book is not nearly as interesting or exciting as the villains in the other books yet her craziness does add strength to the novel.
The best part of this book is the beginning and end as the middle can be a bit tiresome. I do have to say Koontz has developed a remarkable character who is strong willed, mature and much older than his 21 years.
Elvis makes many more cameo's which adds much needed comic relief.
While this book is not my favorite, I recommend it because it gives you more information in regards to Odd Thomas and his life along with at great set up to the third novel.
Grade: B
