Book Description:
We're all a little odd beneath the surface. He's the most unlikely hero you'll ever meet -- an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never look at twice. But there's so much more to any of us than meets the eye -- and that goes triple for Odd Thomas.
For Odd lives always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never asked to communicate with the dead -- it's something that just happened. But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he's got a duty to do the right thing.
That's the way Odd sees it and that's why he's won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.

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.

This book club edition of Forever Odd is one of the best stories by Dean Koontz...in my humble opinion.

This book is great, as good or better than Odd Thomas and I have already started Brother Odd and it has grabbed me from the beginning!!!

Good book, not quite as good as the first (Odd Thomas) in the series but still pretty good. There was a few times when it was a little slow and was repeating some of the back story already laid down in the first books, but still a funny quirky character with a different enough plot to keep you going till the end.

Odd Thomas is a regular guy who is able to communicate with the dead.

Liked it less than the original. Weirder, if that is possible, or maybe the time-lapse between books. Still love Odd, Danny, Ozzie, Terri, Wyatt, and Elvis (yes, THAT Elvis) but the story felt more evil than the first. The ending sets up the 3rd book, Brother Odd, in which Odd retreats to a monastary as a lay brother. Have that one on my wish list.

Not as good as Odd Thomas...the action is a bit slow. I almost gave up on it several times. Still worth the read.

Strange tale from the 'strange story teller'.

Not quite as good as Odd Thomas, but still very good. Odd Thomas is such a lovable character. There's good suspense, scattered with bits of humor and a twist at the end.

Fast easy read. Story line kept me interested, especially if you like the spirit world.
Samantha T. (Not as poignant and intimate as Odd Thomas, but still a really fun and suspenseful read. Odd Thomas is such a loveable and funny character, I think he holds a place in most Koontz readers hearts.
This book is apart of the ODD THOMAS series. Odd can see spirits and is a fry cook. It's classic Dean Koontz that takes an ordinary day (person) and gives you a new view to the world. It's not about action and thrills (although the strangness can count as a thrill) but about making the ordinary extraordinary.
My favorite Dean Koontz book, hands down. Odd Thomas is a character who everyone can fall in love with!
Ruth S. (
Barbara H. (Read once, like new condition, a good read for any Koonz fan but it is part two of a series, so if you haven't read Odd Thomas yet you should probably look at it first.
Koontz did a wonderful job with Odd. He's definitely one of my favorite literary characters. I would love if he continued with Odd.
The second in the series of the man who can hear the dead. Excellent plot line, Dean Koontz best!!
Dean Koontz once again takes up the stroy of "a uniq1ue young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery." This book is great!
