Search - Forever Odd (Odd Thomas, Bk 2)

After the first book, I was hooked on the character of Odd Thomas. This second in the series did not let me down. The action, as it takes place is not on as large of a scale, but still takes you completely into the world of Odd, and what he "can do". Along the way, you gain further insight into the life of Odd, his friendships and a little more of a glimpse into his childhood. Dean Koontz once again threads the elements of the supernatural into the story beautifully. Highly recommended read for anyone with a little taste for thrillers or Sci-Fi.

I love Odd...this one wasnt as good as the first and the third, but it was still a good book...i love the character.

Much like the first "Odd" book, this story is unusual and compelling, with an occasional bit of dark humor. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Odd Thomas is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Odd is just as entertaining in this story as he was the first time around, although in my opinion the storyline in the first book was just little better. Odd's sense of humor, wit, and unbreakable spirit make all the books in this series (4 so far) worth reading.

Wow Dean Koontz's imagination is really out there. If you enjoyed [book:Odd Thomas|14995], you will definitely like this one. It's quite a bit more supernatural-ish than the first one but Koontz really pulls it together and makes it almost believable.

Odd Thomas's friend Danny is kidnapped and his father murdered. Of course, Odd feels obligated to search (using his psychic magnetism) for his friend since Danny has something called brittle bone syndrome (actually it has a huge medical name which I can't spell) and his person is extremely fragile. The person who kidnaps him believes Odd is capable of strange psychic phenomena (sp?) which they are desperate to experience first hand. The kidnapper flees in such a way as to prove Odd's abilities to herself before she unleashes further evil on both Odd and Danny.

I enjoyed the mystery and the chase but the wacky kidnapper was so far out there that some of it was beyond ridiculous but funny nonetheless.

Fast easy read. Story line kept me interested, especially if you like the spirit world.
