Odd Thomas is actually about a guy named Odd... and, well, he has the "odd" ability to communicate with the dead who are stuck here on earth for some reason. Although the dead can't talk to Odd, they lead him to help solve their problems. Odd takes on this job very willingly with the feeling that it is his duty to help since he was given this strange gift. This first book in the series has Odd trying to prevent an aspiring mass murderer from committing his deed. Memorable character. Sparse, conversational type of writing, but a page-turner with twists and turns in plot.
