Odd Hours by Dean KoontzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Odd Thomas is definitely added to my list of favorite characters. He is a very unusual guy. Start with his quirky sense of humor. Add in his ability to see ghosts and that he has a ghost dog as a companion. Finally, who can resist a quirky character with supernatural abilities that saves the world from certain destruction?
Odd Thomas had an unusual start to life when his parents named him Todd but a mistake on the birth certificate pronounced him as Odd. His parents never bothered to change it and he has been Odd ever since. Odd is a fry cook that drifts from one job to another as the need arises. Odd Hours finds him working for an OCD millionaire in a beach front mansion. Odd takes a walk on a pier and meets a mysterious girl and somehow gets entangled in a murderous plot to take over the world. As you think the story gets a little predictable, an unimagined twist takes over and leaves you gasping to see what will happen next.
Dean Koontz has created a memorable character in Odd Thomas. Although I started with the fourth Odd novel, I am sure I will go back and read the other three. Dean Koontz leaves you wanting more.
