Odd Hours

Though I love this character this book just wasn't up to par with the rest in the series. I love this guy! Great series from one of my fave authors. Even though this character is loveable and charming. The story itself dragged on and it was not one of Dean's best efforts. Did Frank Sinatra move on???? Maybe it was all just to close out the series but I hope not. I love odd Thomas!

I love reading about Odd Thomas adventures including this latest one. Following Odd through his adventures has been exciting. If you don't know who Odd Thomas is, I suggest going to your library or bookstore and picking up this book - Odd Thomas (#1). (Other books in this series are Forever Odd-book 2, Brother Odd- book 3 and finally Odd hours- book 4; you won't be disappointed) I...more

This is the fourth book in the Odd Thomas series and it shows more amazing abilities that Odd has and is learning about himself. He is a character that is not a usually particular hero, yet he always ends up on top. All of the books in this series just keep getting better and through every book you find yourself becoming a bigger fan of Odd.

It was alright, not the best of the series. It was almost as though Dean Koontz didn't know what to write. The whole thing with the strange woman with no name and cryptic answers was completely annoying. And to suggest that she was Stormy reincarnated was anger inducing. Read "The Taking" by Koontz.

Odd Thomas is an interesting character with an interesting voice, and his first appearance was such a wonderful and interesting book. Odd Hours, unfortunately, is seriously lacking. The story lines are getting a little bit silly. Bone monsters and nuclear weapons now. The first book was small and simple, and interesting. I don't want to see Odd become a super-spy.

Odd Thomas is an interesting character with an interesting voice, and his first appearance was such a wonderful and interesting book. Odd Hours, unfortunately, is seriously lacking. The story lines are getting a little bit silly. Bone monsters and nuclear weapons now. The first book was small and simple, and interesting. I don't want to see Odd become a super-spy. I don't want to see him saving the world... it just ruins it all for me. It's obvious that Koontz has something bigger planned for these characters. He's announced he wants to write at least 2 more Odd Thomas books, so perhaps the next two books will put the last few in context. But, in the end I'm just not sure that Dean Koontz is really made for writing a series of books.   hide

This was a good read, adventurous escape enjoyed the plot twists.

I could say "Sweet and Simple" but really, it's not fitting to this book. The reason why I am tempted to say that phase is because it is short, Odd Thomas is lighthearted and optimistic ... he finds a climax and goes with the flow with his special skills.This is not a complicated book, a more relaxed reading than Knootz's other books.

I could say "Sweet and Simple" but really, it's not fitting to this book. The reason why I am tempted to say that phase is because it is short, Odd Thomas is lighthearted and optimistic ... he finds a climax and goes with the flow with his special skills.This is not a complicated book, a more relaxed reading than Knootz's other books. Odd Thomas has entertaining conversations with different characters and with himself-- making this story seem absurd and out of place. But of course, Odd Thomas, himself is "out of place" which is fitting to this story.   hide

Odd Thomas is such an appealing character . . . you just have to love him! Still, this book takes some extremely Odd twists. I like it . . . I'll surely read another one soon as Koontz releases one - heck, I'm reading an Odd Thomas manga, so clearly, I'll read anything Koontz puts out there, right? - yet this book left me feeling "huh?"

I'll surely read another one soon as Koontz releases one - heck, I'm reading an Odd Thomas manga, so clearly, I'll read anything Koontz puts out there, right? - yet this book left me feeling "huh?" I don't really get where Koontz is taking us with these Odd Thomas stories, and I'm not sure Koontz really knows either. Of all the books in this series thus far, I find this one the weakest entry, but no where near weak enough for me to miss the next one!   hide

Another fabulous Odd Thomas book. I can't wait for the next one.
