DESCRIPTION:
Exclusive Essay: Destiny and Odd Hours Odd Thomas came to me as a gift, the entire first chapter of his first book having poured out of me as I was in the middle of writing The Face. I now think seven. When I began to reread the first three books, however, I quickly discovered that I had unconsciously paved the road that the series was now taking. When I write about him, his narrative voice is so clear to me that I almost hear him in my head. Indeed I was, but it was also something more than that; a
"9+ hours I will never get back" according to Denise. I wanted to give this book at least a 9+ hours I will never get back I wanted to give this book at least a 3 but by the end, I just couldn't. The ONLY good thing about this book (and the other Odd Thomas books) is that you can read or listen to them in any order and they all stand alone quite nicely. Aside from that, they are TERRIBLE, in my opinion.True to form, Dean Koontz OVER describes EVERYTHING!

An odd story Nate Grey The lowercase treatment above is not a mistake. For those who have traveled along Odd Thomas' path this story marks a departure, and one I am not necessarily comfortable with. Part of Odd's charm is his guile. He relies on his wits and wit to keep him going, to foil nefarious plots, and always come out one step ahead. Although the wit is present, this Odd is suddenly the action hero (a word he constantly disdains). A mold that he does not comfortably fit into.I will not go into plot points here . My second favorite Odd Thomas story. This one's a heck of a ride! Something off in Magic Beach. Odd is back from his stay with the monks. He's in a town called Magic Beach. He encounters some people who've given Odd a bad feeling, one of them touches Odd and Odd is struck with a vision that's been haunting his dreams. Apparently the guy who touched Odd was struck with the same vision and immediately realizes there's something odd with OddThen the book really starts going, and doesn't seem to stop until the shocking end.We're also introduced to some new and ver
“Koontz forges the kind of sweeping melodrama complete with screwball laughs, nail-biting moments, and surprises that is the bedrock of American narrative fiction.” —BooklistOnly a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is drawn onward, to a destiny he cannot imagine.

Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as
