DESCRIPTION:
James Tepper said Odder and Odder. I've been a fan of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas books since the first one was released, many years ago. While I find most of Mr. Koontz's other fiction very hit or miss (mostly miss this past decade), the Odd Thomas books are consistently interesting, witty and captivating. Odd Thomas (someone left the T off of Todd on his birth certificate), or Oddie, as he his known to his friends and fans, is an ex-fry cook. He makes the world's best, fluffiest pancakes. He also sees ghosts. They do not speak, but gesture to him and pantomime, to get their points across almost always that something bad is . Ira B. Korman said Something for Everyone. As with the other Odd Thomas books this one includes a of potpourri of elements including the occult, supernatural, mystery and even humor. Odd is one of the great fictional characters who is driven by his commitment to justice and goodness in the face of unimaginable evil. Faced with the task of saving a group of children from horrible deaths, Odd is accompanied by a fascinating group of allies from the mysterious Edie to a ghostly Alfred Hitchcock. At times that narrative becomes convoluted and confusing but the reader is rewarded with a heart warming story.. Remember when Odd was odd? In the first books, Odd was unusual.

The Odd doppelgänger suddenly gets six eyes. Must h
Across California, into Nevada, and back again, Odd desperately gives chase. In a chance encounter with a sinister truck driver tricked out like a rhinestone-cowboy, Odd has a vision of an outrageous multiple homicide, the murder of three innocent children, that has not yet been committed. Along the way, he meets - and charms - a collection of eccentrics who become his allies in a terrifying battle against a sociopath of singular boldness and cleverness - and a shadowy network of like-minded murders whose identities and motivations are mysterious and whose resources seem almost supernatural.
Thomas, you see, has a special gift that allows him to see not just the spirits of the dead (the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock is a supporting character in the book) but also events that have not yet happened but certainly will, unless he intervenes. From Booklist The seventh Odd Thomas novel takes place a mere 19 months after the events of the first book, which shows just how tightly knit this story is—more of a serial, really, than a series. Another satisfying entry in this wildly popular series. Class d
