Book Reviews of Odd Hours (Odd Thomas, Bk 4)

I absolutely LOVED "Odd Thomas" and ran to the bookstore when "Forever Odd" came out. However, after #2 (Forever Odd) I skipped, rather than ran for #3 (Brother Odd). When "Odd Hours" came out, I sighed and strolled to get it, without a sense of urgency and feeling somehow obligated to read it. I love the character of Odd, but the stories just run downhill as the series progresses. I suggest the rest of the books if, like me, you REALLY like the character, but don't expect anything close to as good a read as the first one.

I'm sure I'll drag butt to the bookstore if there's a #5.......
; )

Odd Hours is an interesting book. There is an enigmatic character, Annamaria, who serves to add mystery to this novel without actually adding substance. That, disappointed me.

But I was heartened to see that Odd has metamorphosed from a bumbling, lucky, individual to one who has much more purpose and can act decisively.

All in all, I wonder if Koontz left the book in a place where he could move forward with the series, or if this book serves to mark the end of the road for Odd Thomas.

I liked the Odd series,not terribly complicated but entertaining. I liked the "goodness" of the main character it is refreshing!

This was by far my least favorite of the Odd series. I usually love all of Dean Koontz's books but I just couldn't stay interested in this book.

Good read. What's next for Odd?

Loved it. Can't wait until he writes another.

Was ok.
