Helpful Score: 1

This was, for me, an incredible read; thrilling; it held me in its grip. Paranormal is not a genre I usually read, but Dean Koontz changed all that for me. This book has to be one of Koontzs most challenging endeavors. Odd Thomasyes, his name is really Oddis gifted with an unusual ability to see the dead who have lingered too long in this world. Sometimes they seek him out, but always he is driven by their need to communicate even though they cannot talk. The character Odd Thomas is complex in his simplicity and as the narrator of the story his language skills make description an art form. To quote Publishers Weekly: Marvelousthis is Koontz working at his pinnacle. Loved it!
